Kinda disappointing
Decent hotel but old and tired exterior and outdated room with old beds, not very comfortable. Not worth $150+ per night that we paid in off season. They did not receive our room request, not sure why - I double checked with hotels.com a couple days before we got there. They push the railway train to the Grand Canyon but it’s very expensive -$300 per couple for the lowest level car with no AC. Lobby was nice, surrounding area was safe and clean but not much to do in the immediate area. Small city with just restaurants, bars and small shops.

Good stay with some caution
The hotel is great. It is located next to the train station and within walking distance to downtown shopping and restaurants. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly but could use some training at the front desk. There were a few areas of concern to me. Be sure to carry a few credit cards for check-in. I presented my card for a deposit of 75.00 and it was declined. I didnt think much of it as I am from the east coast and thought maybe my card company suspected fraud. I tried another card and it was immediately approved. I go into my email to find my credit card alerts for.both cards as pending charges. They had 150.00 deposit and didn't know how to clear the first one. I decided to wait until checkout to get them both cleared. Front desk told me that it's a glitch that happens. Just be prepared. The day of checkout we also got up to take showers. The sink and shower water were both red. We decided to forgo the shower and brushed with bottled water. Upon check out I inquired and was told the town water was being switched out. I asked if the water was safe for showers and was told it was. We were then told it was not safe for drinking. I asked why guests were not informed and was met with a blank stare. Overall experience was ok. I would stay here again. I would just be more prepared next time.

Amazing Stay at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel! Clean rooms and beautiful view! Staff was friendly! Within walking distance of some restaurants or 6 minute drive to Bearizona! Didn’t ride the train this time but next time it’s on our list! They provide Shampoo, conditioner and body wash and we had a microwave in our deluxe room! Definitely a must stay!
