Awesome Hotel - can't say the same for the staff. The desk clerk (acne) lied to me on two things: The cost of the Jeff Harvey buffet "$20...". Not. It's 28 with tax = 31. Not cool. And - The $75 fee for incidentals "will fall off when you check out in the morning...". Not. Waiting for my $75 for 3 days now; probably won't see it til Monday - I hope. I must say we stayed there a month prior at the RV park in our motor home, received MUCH BETTER customer service there. Your desk clerks could learn a lot from those wonderful people. Again, great hotel; but apparently a front desk clerk who thinks it's ok to LIE to customers. See ya.

Our stay at the hotel was satisfactory, fulfilling our basic needs during our trip. We were primarily there to experience the breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon, and the train ride to get there was a fantastic choice, allowing us to take in the scenery along the way. The staff at the hotel were incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with any questions we had. However, I must mention that the food offered at the hotel left much to be desired; it was disappointing and did not meet our expectations. For a better dining experience, I strongly recommend exploring the local restaurants in town, where you can enjoy a much wider variety of delicious options.

This was my second time to stay this time I did not ride the train, but the room was nice with comfortable beds, bathroom is nice and clean looks like painted recently, there was not enough coffee in room, they did have some in lobby, it was just too far to go get it. There is only one elevator and our room was a good walk from it. That would be the only downfall. We ate and drank in the bar and it was excellent. You can even get drinks to go.
