Grand Canyon railway Hotel.
There is absolutely no name of the hotel at the premises. If you didn't have the address you would never find it. The buffet there was below average and food was almost tasteless. Not the place to eat unless you don't have transportation to go elsewhere.

Family Getaway
The hotel staff were friendly and placed both rooms next to each other. The amenities were average. It was nice to have a cafe/restaurant nearby. We liked the atmosphere and the coach rides offered with entertainment. We also liked the convenience of getting on the Grand Canyon train ride. The family had a nice time however didn't stay at the hotel too long to enjoy everything, it was all about the train and the Grand Canyon!

The hotel was very nice and just
The hotel was very nice and just what we needed so we could see the grand canyon before going to Las Vegas. We'll probably stay with you the next time we head for Californial or Las Vegas.

Weekend getaway
We stayed in Williams and took the Grand Canyon Railway to the Grand Canyon. 2 1/2 hours there and back with entertainment on the train. It was a great time. Williams is a fun town with gunfights in the streets. The hotel was across the parking lot from the depot. The service at the hotel bar was not the best. Requested a working remote for tv but not such luck.

Great Hotel
We stayed one night at the Hotel. It was my daughter's and my first time to Williams, in fact to the USA. The hotel was PERFECT! We had adjoining rooms as we were traveling with an Amercian friend of mine. It was snowing when we got there and the rooms were lovely and warm. The whole Hotel setting and staff could not have been any better!

Uneventful stay
We did not spend a whole lot of time at the hotel except for resting after spending time at the Grand Canyon. This hotel is about 45-60 minutes from the Grand Canyon National Park entrance. The pool was small but it was enough to relax after the long days. There is also a very nice mini gym but I doubt it gets used much since walking in the Grand Canyon is in itself a good exercise.

peaceful place
We traveled to Williams to enjoy a peaceful vacation and we were not disappointed. The location of the grandcanyon railway hotel is a perfect base for visiting the grand canyon and other attractions in the area. everything we wanted to do was well within driving distance and we even found time to relax in Spencers Pub (awesome service and atmosphere). The grandcanyon railway cafe also impressed us with their food and service. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
