Hotels in Williams, ArizonaA simple 3-star chain hotel near the Grand Canyon Railway
6.9/10
Convenient for the railway, but worn rooms and pool closures weaken the appeal.
This simple 3-star Holiday Inn Express is a practical Williams base, rather than a standout. Downtown and the Grand Canyon Railway are within walking distance, and included breakfast and parking make road-trip logistics easy. Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful staff and the breakfast spread; many also report clean rooms and comfortable beds. We'd consider it for a short stop focused on sightseeing.
The catch is inconsistent upkeep: recent reviews describe worn carpets, peeling headboards and uneven housekeeping. More importantly, guests reported the indoor pool and hot tub closed through September 2026, despite IHG still advertising them; confirm reopening before booking. Sofa beds also draw comfort complaints. We'd skip it for a pool-centered family stay or if reliably fresh, well-maintained rooms are your priority.
