Great location on historic Route 66 adjacent to the railroad depot. The train ride to the Grand Canyon is great. Be sure and pay for the doomed observation railroad cars. Plenty to see and do in walking distance of the hotel.

Just returned from a 2 day stay at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel. I was traveling with my mom and three of my kids ages 2, 4 and 19. We stayed in a suite, which accommodated us very nicely. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Being next to the train depot, I... More

Hotel is pretty basic, but the service is super friendly and you can't beat the proximity to the railroad tour. The food at the buffet was also pretty basic, but there are lots of options and it is a good value. I would recommend!

We spent one night at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel before taking the train trip to the Grand Canyon the next morning. The hotel sprawls over the property so plan to walk between the restaurants, the train platform and your room. Rooms were pretty basic, but clean and enough room for our family for just the one night. We also... More

The railway hotel and rooms are superb but the money you are paying for railway (train package) is too much even for coach class. A couple of useless singers and no scenic views at all, you will see only cows! The best would be to drive in and visit the canyon south rim, start early from vegas(I know its not... More

Stayed as part of Rail to Rim trip. Hotel and room was clean. Room was quiet and comfortable and of good size. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Spencer's Pub had a great old huge bar, imported from England that made for a very comfortable spot to unwind. Sandy the evening Bartender was very knowledgeable of many historical facts about the...
