4/10 Fair

Pictures outdated, not comfortable or clean.
Photos are not accurate. Hotel is worn down, our room was dirty, stains on the comforter, hair in the bed and bathroom, cracks on the walls and around a/c, you could feel the springs in the bed, never dusted, you could tell from the phone, remote & table. The pool was dirty and not heated as they indicated. It was our anniversary and I didn't want to complain, I really just wanted to go home. The only good thing I can say was the long island's from the hotel pub were good.

2/10 Poor

Not recommended
I cannot recommend this hotel for a family trip. Upon entering our room, it was evident that cleanliness was a major issue. There was a thick layer of dust throughout, including on the lamp and TV, and we found hairs on the pillow and inside the sheets. When I contacted the front desk, they offered to switch our room, but unfortunately, the new room was in equally unacceptable condition. I even spotted a pillow with blood stains while confirming details with the staff before moving our luggages. When I raised the issue of the blood-stained pillow, the staff handed it back to me and instructed me to leave it in the first room. This was completely inappropriate; it should have been their responsibility to remove it, and also not to put it back in the room. Throughout the night, the noise was unbearable. I was awakened by train horns 2-3 times and had to endure loud shouting and door slamming in the hallways. To make matters worse, the next morning at 10:20 AM, housekeeping knocked on our door while we were still in bed, despite check-out being at 11 AM. This felt like undue pressure to vacate. During check-out, the front desk clerk remarked that I was lucky housekeeping hadn’t knocked on my door at 8 AM because they had the right to do so. After a long day of driving, I expected a restful night, and this hotel failed to deliver on that front.

Polar express parking
Stayed an extra night after polar express train ride, the lady at the front office was extremely helpful and nice made my switch over from one reservation to another super easy, if more employees were like her this place would crush it. Rooms are OK, ours was really clean but just a little dated, only downfall to this place and it was a huge one for us, was finding parking place was literally jammed packed i know it was due to the polar express event but they really need to do something about that cuz it was super ridiculous

We came for the Polar Express Train Experience. We had decided at the last minute to stay at the hotel. Glad we did as it was easy for getting ready for the train and walking around afterwards. The worst part is I would NOT recommend the dinner at Fred Harvey. It was TERRIBLE!! We did get refunded. However this restaurant is NOT set up for the number of people they’re doing for the Polar Express. We bought the food tickets in September but they were allowing walk-ins. When we came in at 7:40pm they were out of most food. Salad bar was empty of food and plates. There were two lines for hot food. 1 line had 1 guy making individual pasta orders! My husband stood in line for 30 minutes for pasta. Gave up. Went back when the line went down. Waited 20 minutes again. Then cook said he had to leave for 5 minutes to wash pans. This is NOT how you serve the masses. The other hot food was gross. This was by far the worst restaurant experience we’ve had at a place. If you’re serving kids - most like pasta - you don’t have one person making individual pasta dishes!!! You make mass quantities of spaghetti. You’ve been doing this for years but it felt like this was the first weekend the restaurant was open. I don’t think Fred Harvey would have approved. Everything else about the stay was great.

The Grand Railway hotel was conveniently located by the train station and downtown Williams. The train to the Grand Canyon was entertaining and informative.

“Onsite” Laundry
Don’t be fooled. Chose this facility for this onsite laundry. They informed me there was a shuttle to the laundry facility the next day starting at 9am. The property is multiple city blocks and they laundry is technically on their properly, but not the convenience I expected after a weeks worth of travel. Wanted to be able to move between my room and laundry. Very family oriented- everyone was walking around in their matching PJs. Restaurant was average.

Daily housekeeping of rooms is only if requested before 9 am. The bed was comfortable but had an air mattress feeling. Walking distance to train station and town was the best in town.
