Find the new online booking process more confusing than it used to be and price increases are a bit much given no upgrades in cabin amenities or furnishings.
Rodents are an issue (always have been here) so keep food safely stored, door closed & don’t feed the wildlife. Unfortunately, the new company ownership is not dealing effectively with appropriate cleaning and safe trapping. Our cabin had 2 traditional mouse traps that could potentially be dangerous to children, so check carefully if you have young ones.
Poor accommodations in a great location

Parking is a nightmare! You cannot drive to registration to check in. Fortunately they did have a porter that helped us with our luggage from the car to the cabin. At registration we were warned that you are in the wilderness and that there are critters around. Do not leave any food out, we provide a fridge to put your food in is what we were told.
Beds were ok but the pillows were terribly small! More like a throw pillow than a bed pillow.
We kept reminding ourselves that we are here for the canyon not the cabin!

The dining is minimal and very average and extremely difficult to get a dinner reservation. The staff are friendly and doing the best they can with poor product. Coffee at the bar was great.
Magnificent views in a rustic setting

We enjoyed our stay in a cabin; it was small, but it had everything we needed: good shower and bed, small fridge, rocking chairs on the porch. Enjoyed talks about the forests, geology, and astronomy. Great hiking along the rim. Magnificent views. The veranda gets very busy by mid-afternoon as people gather to watch the setting sun turn the canyon all colors of red.
Beware of rodents in the cabins of the Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim.

My only objection is with the Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim Rooms & Cabins in Arizona. We stayed in a cabin for two nights. Our Pleasurebent Tours trip director who rode on the bus with us let us know on the way that the cabins were "rustic", which I assumed he meant were just old and run down. My cabin had a rodent that tore open a coffee creamer late the first night. I saw the rodent which was larger than a mouse after I heard a rustling noise and I got out of bed to look. The next morning a clerk at the front desk exchanged our cabin with another. The clerk informed me that rodents in the cabins were reported by guests every day and it was management's policy to just place guests in other cabins if available. It rained the first night, and another couple with our tour group reported their roof leaked onto their bed. The front desk clerk provided that couple with another cabin as well. Another hotel employee let me know the rodent problem had been going on at least as long as the three years he worked there. I reported the problem to our tour director who shrugged it off. I reported the incident in writing to Pleasurebent Tours of Tucson and no one responded to me. An information plaque on the inside of the cabin doors indicated that the room charge per night was $370. At that price I would full well expect a rodent-free cabin, or at least I should have been informed of the situation before I paid for the trip.
