Great room, great amenities. We were there during the polar express event at the railway and they were playing the polar express movie 24/7 on tv in the room. Very nice touch. Pool and hot tub were great also. Wonderful stay.

I cannot recommend this enough for first time Grand Canyon visitors. The train ride is serene and the time spent at the canyon is just right. The gore itself is beautiful and is perfect for the holiday season. It was decorated with lots of Christmas decor and a big fireplace. There is Christmas music playing everywhere and you have a feeling of a cozy mountain retreat. There are drinks and food available in the lobby adjacent bar. The train should be booked ahead of time, but boarding is super convenient and there is buffet and quick serve food available in the station. The station is on the same grounds as the hotel.

During our recent stay, the property experienced a power outage lasting approximately three hours in the evening, which prevented us from accessing hotel amenities, including the restaurants. While we greatly enjoyed the Polar Express experience, upon returning around 7 p.m. the hotel was completely dark, with no Christmas lights or other features operating. Unfortunately, there was no acknowledgment or apology from staff regarding the disruption. We typically enjoy our visits here, but this incident was disappointing given our past positive experiences.
