I do not recommend to go to this hotel! The hotel reception was not so friendly. One man from the hotel just walked into our room without knocking(with his own key card) saying that he called on the phone and we didn't answer.He was confused and then said that he needs to see the air conditioning (although it was cold outside), after that we realized that our waller was disappeared - a mystery! To sum up - don;t go or go and watch your things!

Positives: The price and location.

Negatives: The people in reception+My wallet "disappeared" there.

For the price, I can't really complain except I was unhappy that the room smelled so much like smoke when the hallway specifically said it was nonsmoking. Aside from the smell though, the hotel room did what it was supposed to do--gave me a good night sleep.

Positives: Convenient location and good price.

Negatives: The room smelled like smoke and they were going to charge me $20 to switch from a king bed to two doubles.

I would not recommend this. This hotel room was dingy, bathroom dirty and only 1 little light. bathroom fan noisy. Actually checked for bed bugs, advertise free breakfast. It was a continental with next to nothing.

Positives: Nothing. Price, location if anything. But nothing more, it was very very disappointing.

Negatives: Smell, cleanliness, friendliness, pool was dirty/cloudy. Breakfast terrible.

I went to file a complaint against this hotel with the Better Business Bureau. However, they already have an F- rating. Anyhow, I promise you that you can find a cheaper hotel closer to the train depot.<BR>.The staff was rude. We got a wake up call at 4:30am, when it was supposed to be 6am. Not even an apology for their mistake. The place was dirty. I hope that nobody else makes the same mistake that we did by having unfortunately stayed there.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Dirty room. Rude staff. Ignorant owner. Horrible sleep. No rest.

The air conditioner did not work, it was very hot in the room. The staff was extremely rude.

Positives: Close to restaurants.

Negatives: Dirty, staff was very rude.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 12 Jun 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel is moderately clean. Hotel price is a little bit too high for the hotel quality.

Positives: The location is close to many attraction locations.

Negatives: Breakfast area is too small.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 18 Nov 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Close to Grand Canyon Railway Polar Express. Adjoining rooms available for multiple rooms made it convenient with young children.

Positives: Close to Grand Canyon Railway.

Negatives: Smoke alarm broken and hanging.

Very good location to go to the grand canyon, very nice staff, very clean. I would recommend it and I would go there again.

Positives: The kindness of the staff.

Negatives: There was nothing I didn't like in this hotel.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 23 Aug 2008 rated 1 out of 10.

Didn't have the iron or the board, no coffee machine, when asked the staff about this, they had no idea and said to wait for the manager, we got the stuff the day we were leaving, most disgusting was the promised continental breakfast (store bought packed donuts).

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Unfriendly staff.

This hotel was better than I expected for the price. It was well-kept and comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the room, but it had a microwave and refrigerator in addition to the usual hair dryer, iron, and coffee maker. We did have some souvenirs stolen from the car one night (I had forgotten to lock it). I would consider staying there again if I could not get a good priced hotel closer to the Grand Canyon (it's an hour). We walked to town to eat at night. Very close to good food (Pine Country, Red Raven, and Route 66 Cafe).

Positives: Clean, refrigerator, microwave, and iron.

Negatives: Had to request shampoo & conditioner.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 09 May 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Good clean well kept basic hotel.

Positives: Easy to find, within walking distance downtown, indoor pool.

Negatives: Noisy refrigerator I had to unplug it.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 21 Apr 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

Not a place I would stay at again. Quite a few more hotels in the area.

Positives: Close to the Grand Canyon.

Negatives: The train crossing was very close, the carpets were filthy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 06 Apr 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

It's good for the money and location, don't expect much for the continental breakfast nor expect the staff to be too friendly.

Positives: It's location.

Negatives: The management was more insulting than friendly lamps didn't work.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 15 Mar 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

The hotel location is nice. I was hit with an extra person charge, which quickly showed how the hotel was out to make money. The pool was dirty and the hotel was overall pretty mediocre at best.

Positives: The location of this hotel is very convenient to the interstate.

Negatives: The hotel seemed like too much family-run, not much professionalism.

Here is the big problem I had with this experience. We paid about one hundred dollars for out room. Talking with one of the guests, he paid sixty eight dollars, and another fifty eight dollars. Neither of these two had reservations; they just walked in off the street!

Positives: Easy to find.

Negatives: Needs remodeling.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 26 Jun 2007 rated 6 out of 10.

Check in lady had thick accent, hard to understand & not very friendly more robotic. The outside looked dingy & could use some paint, & not really a nice area.

Positives: Granite countertops in bathroom.

Negatives: Vanity separate from toilet room, unfriendly check in, outside needs paint is a little dingy looking.

This was definitely a 1 star hotel. The cleanliness was probably a 3 stars hotel, but the quality of the hotel was 1 star. Make no mistake because it was a cheap room. If you decide to make loud noises at night, your neighbors will hear you.

Positives: It was cheap.

Negatives: No wide TV channel selection and uncomfortable bed.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 20 Feb 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

Great price, clean room, very close to train station, and drive to grand canyon.

Positives: Clean room, close to train station if you plan taking train to grand canyon.

Negatives: Front desk assistant not very friendly, man was very pleasant.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 01 Nov 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

Over all I would say we were very pleased and will certainly stay there again.

Positives: The room was very clean. Provided item such as frig, coffee maker, iron, and in room safe were welcome value added bonuses.

Negatives: The person that was on duty when we checked in, while very efficient was not very friendly. Not a big deal, just odd in a small town.

They did not have 2 keys to give for our room. This caused much difficulty with coming and going. I had to go to the front desk and obtain extra towels and pillows due to not having room service to bring them to our room. The management had circumvented the security doors to the lodge by using tape to hold doors open. Did not feel safe. The spa was broke and the indoor pool water was green. We got in and immediately got out due to feeling of uncleanliness. The continental breakfast was until 11 am We arrived at 8:30 and all food was gone Lodge definitely not full.

Positives: Close proximity to Grand Canyon at a lower price.

Negatives: All of the above.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 15 Oct 2005 rated 3 out of 10.

The Howard Johnson Williams is a dump. It was dark, dank, dirty and depressing. Even though I had specified two beds, the desk person tried to give us a king sized bed, then charged $10 extra for a room with two beds. Continental breakfast was absurd. Two bins of stale cereal and two tiny donuts.

Positives: There was nothing to like.

Negatives: N/A

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 20 Jul 2005 rated 7 out of 10.

Positives: clean room/bathroom/excellent shower!

Negatives: no outside acsess to room, only inside corridor
