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.

Recently stayed at this hotel while visiting for the Polar Express experience, and unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. They dipped at the ends, forcing you to sleep sideways for any back support, which was even worse when sharing the queen bed. We woke up exhausted every morning from tossing and turning. There was hair on the floor in the bathroom, urine stains on the back of the toilet lid, and dust on the lamps in the room. One light in the entrance of our room didn’t work, and we even found two spiders. One of the spiders caused a major scare when my 5-year-old screamed while using the bathroom. I had to barge in to help because they were so frightened. It was an unpleasant situation that only added to the poor impression. Additionally, the TV guide card in one of our rooms was sticky and dirty, which could have easily been replaced. We appreciated the convenience of having a dining option in the hotel, but the experience was disappointing. We found hair in our food while dining. We made the server aware, and they discounted our meal, which was appreciated, but it still added to the overall dissatisfaction of our stay. The saving grace of our stay was the front desk staff. They were incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating. We required an ADA-accessible room that connected to our children’s room, and they went above and beyond to assist us. Even helping us move rooms smoothly.

What we liked most was the curtious nature of all the staff. Beds were soft and warm towels fluffy and clean. The grounds were dressed for the holiday season. Very nice. Fireplace very inviting and warm. Proximity to Williams was just right. We also did the train ride. Ride the bubble car. Highly recommended. Our host, Ashley, very curious fun and knowledgeable. Overall. Our visit to Williams and stay n play at the Grand Canyon Railroad Hotel was outstanding.
