Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Williams - Grand Canyon Area — Hotel in Williams

We stayed at this location the night before we ventured to the Grand Canyon. The location was convenient, as it was across the street from fast food and gas, and was walking distance to the Rte. 66 attractions down the street.

Upon arriving at the hotel, it was clear this was an older, small hotel, but that did not bother us for the price. However, it did not have an elevator, and the hallways were very narrow, so this may not be the best location to stay for those who are disabled. We were kindly greeted by the staff who shared the best places to eat and visit in town, which I appreciated this information.

Our room was located on the 2nd floor. The rooms were clean, despite being an older, outdated facility. We discovered that the window was cracked opened to keep air flowing in the room. However, the window did not have a way to lock it, which would have been a bit of a security concern for us, if we were on the ground floor. I'm not certain if this is the same on all windows, or just the room we had. The beds were comfortable and we had no other issues with this site.

Breakfast was in a small enclave on the first floor. It consisted of yogurt, packages of oatmeal, coffee station, pastries, bread, and a toaster.

In all, we didn't mind the facilities, due to a good price and a convenient location...

We’ve stayed at this hotel 3 times now. They take pets and we like the location. Each stay has gotten progressively worse and the last one was the final disaster. I had written a review the 2nd stay about the landscape, well…it still looks like an abandoned building from the outside. Now, it’s starting to look like a “soon to be abandoned building” on the inside! There’s cracks on the walls everywhere, stained ceilings, a 3’ square drywall patch that’s not finished yet, and some serious cleanliness issues. The dust was SO thick in the room, on the fire sprinklers, desks, pictures, lamps, and sills that my allergies acted up immediately! The desk and room chairs were so badly stained we didn’t want to even touch them. The bathroom walls have dark spill spots that look like a few soda cans exploded and no one cleaned it up. The faucets had sever corrosion and weren’t fully attached to the sink. The smoke alarm was open and didn’t have a battery backup. The front desk person was nice and refunded us, but even after being contacted by Econolodge Corporate due to my other review, the place has somehow managed to get worse yet their prices are higher than most in Williams! Needless to say, we’re done...

The location is great considering I was driving from San Diego back to Missouri. I recommend paying the extra for the suite (non-smoking). I didn’t expect anything grand since the price was under $200. The recent stays that I had been at were $300-$600 since I am traveling with my family and we have a dog. The pet fee is only $15 verses the $150 I paid the previous night and $75 that I paid the night before at other hotels. For the price, it’s good. There’s WiFi, restaurants within walking distance, a gas station across the street and tourists site seeing spots close by. The attendant was very helpful & kind. The drive here is beautiful. We are hot people so we opened our windows so that we could get a good breeze. It helped quite a bit. One issue (small) was that our bathroom door wouldn’t latch but with only 3 of us, we knew not to open the door if it looked like it was closed. Our dog loved it. There’s plenty of blankets and plenty of seating in the suite. The breakfast is “continental” so of course it’s not spectacular but for the price, again, you really can’t beat it. If I was passing through, I would...
