I stayed at the Grand Motel after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews here, and I have to say that I just don't get why anyone is enthusiastic about it. I appreciated the decent mattress, new air conditioning unit, refrigerator, microwave and cable TV - the owners are clearly investing a few bucks in the place. On the other hand, the carpet in my room should have been replaced a very, very long time ago (I wouldn't let my feet even touch the floor). The rooms are postage-stamp small and there isn't a lick of charm to compensate for that or the ratty exterior. There is zero retro feel. My room, despite its theme name, had no theme. There is no neon-trimmed old Route 66 charm. Zip. It's just an old motel. No doubt there are worse places to stay in Williams, but there is absolutely nothing special about this place.

This reviewer was not happy with the old carpet and the room size or the outside paint job. I would love to replace the carpet but the funds are not there. We have many return guests so it must not be all that bad. We aggressively clean the rooms and carpets. this reviewer has a history of rating the rooms they stay in at 2 so I expect they want more than they are getting. Please look at their other reviews by clicking on their name and take this one with a grain of salt. The motel next to us is only 2 years from its total rebuild and $100 a night. This reviewer should have stayed there. Their rooms are smaller then ours.
