My roommate and I were looking for a place to stay the night before our visit to the Grand Canyon. We were so excited to find something that was not the same ol' thing. When we walked in the owners greeted us very friendly immediately. We checked in and they gave us a tour of the oldest hotel in Arizona. It is very old, but the coffee tasted great, beds comfortable, and the environment nice and quiet. The only thing was that the bathrooms were soooo small, but they were clean. I will definitely stay there again. The drive to the canyon was about 45 minutes.

After driving from Las Vegas via the Hoover Dam and the new Canyon Sykwalk, I pulled into Williams and checked into this cute hotel. Although it is not the Ritz the owners were very friendly and eager to help with my bags. Room was cute and clean. After speaking with the owner, I can appreciate the history of the hotel and the efforts they have made renovating the space. I would stay here again, perfect as a crash pad after a long day of hiking.

The Grand Canyon Hotel is a renovated historic hotel build in 1889. My family stayed for two nights in two of the 25 available rooms, one had a new bath, the other connected but had a bath down the hall. We loved the unique themes of the rooms, the warmth of the owners/managers, the cleanliness and the accessibility to the Grand Canyon train and all downtown stores and events. The hotel was historic, very charming, and very affordable. The owners provided personal service and breakfast was coffee, tea, chocolate and sweet rolls. The hotel recently opened 8 more rooms decorated with antiques. It was comfortable and quiet; we did not miss televisions in the room, but they have old movies downstairs. I would highly recommend this if you like a homely, safe and comfortable place to stay in Williams.

This hotel is a housed in a beautiful gut renovated ( in 2005? ) historic building, has an assortment of rooms, some with full baths (70+ tax), some with shared baths (50 to 60 + tax). I think there is even a "backpackers room", 20 a night but I didn't see the room istself. Rooms are tastefully decorated with unique & interesting antiques. Very comfortable bed and linens. The ceilings in this place are HUGE, really gives it that old west feel. Overall hotel common areas are charming, many working wood stoves, great old artwork & other items.

The owner & evening staff person Matt were really nice folks, willing to go the extra mile for us but all we had energy for was a place to sleep.
There were no other guests the night we stayed- as this place is more expensive than some of the traditional route 66 tourist motel fare I hope it can do well attracting guests looking for a more old fashioned & homey experience.

There were no TVs or phones in the rooms (fine with us) but I did see cable & phone jacks in the walls so perhaps this technology will be added later. There is a TV downstairs and the hotel hosts a nightly free movie night, Matt seemed excited to let us pick out the evenings film but we were more interested in food & sleep.

I highly recommend this hotel to travellers looking to avoid the standard route 66 tourist traps, it's one of the most quietly charming and unique places we've ever stayed. The town of Williams is a super friendly place, we had a blast meeting locals and other grand canyon day trippers from around the world.
