Budget Host inn Williams, Williams

Do NOT stay at this place. We had to stay here due to being very tired. We selected it primarily because it was the only one with a vacancy due to football training in Flagstaff. The town was cute and we found a great place to eat. My first indication that something may be amiss was when they gave us the TV remote at the check in desk. Odd but not a deal breaker. When we got back to our motel room after dinner, my boyfriend laid down on top of the bedspread to nap. While he was napping I hopped in the shower. It had plenty of hot water, but only because the shower head made it feel like the water coming out of it was needles pricking me. The bathroom faucet sprayed water everywhere as well. When the boyfriend woke up he complained about itching. I suggested he hop in the shower and that maybe we'd gotten some ant bites or something. When I remembered lots of recent articles on bedbugs I decided to take a chance and see. Both beds had bed bugs. It was DISGUSTING. It was as though they hadn't ever changed the bottom sheet, l I had to do was pull the sheet out and there were more then a dozen on one bed and a few dozen on the other. Again, do NOT stay here unless you check for bed bugs first. (to be fair they did give us a refund right away but we slept in the car in a rest stop due to not having any place vacant)

The room was ok, nothing great, but great location. It is right downtown, with great many places to eat at within walking distance. I found a great restaurant that was grilling steaks outside, the smell had me sold.

I bid for a hotel in Williams via Priceline before a trip to the Grand Canyon -- I have had pretty decent luck doing this before and we aren't too "uppitty" when it comes to one-night motel stays -- yet, we were TOTALLY unprepared for the horror of this place! When we arrived, the road in front of the motel was barricaded due to flooding (08/02/07). An officer directing traffic advised us the road would not be open for at least a couple of hours. The parking lot of the motel was also completely flooded. We immediately called the front desk. The owner's wife answered and accused us of lying. She came outside to see that we were correct -- just as we had found an alternative entrace via the back of the hotel. She spoke very broken English, kept repeating "no refunds" and was extremely rude. We checked in (we were a family of six - thus we had two rooms) and were given ground floor rooms. None of the rooms have king beds nor do any adjoin. The lot was so flooded that the water had crept up into several of the ground floor rooms -- we watched as the owner and housekeeping were sweeping out the water. We had to park away from the door of our rooms due to high water --- The rooms were stinky and moldy smelling. The walls are dirty white cinderblock -- the floors are sticky and filthy. The dark, dank and dismal feel of the room is comparable to a prison cell -- only less secure. The window locks were broken in both rooms -- and the windows open directly over one of the beds. The bathroom was passable -- probably the best part of the whole room -- as it was definately the cleanest -- but that wouldn't be hard since the room was absolutely disgusting. The fridge, microwave and coffeemaker were nice. I can't imagine anyone staying long enough to actually use them, however. Finally, the floors must be made of cardboard because we could hear everything above us. The noise is further intensified by the train whistle directly behind the motel all day and night. I would recommend that everyone avoid this motel at all costs. It isn't worth the 20 bucks saved to sleep on a cement bed with cardboard filled pillows in dirty linens on a sticy floor in a cement cell. Williams is a cute little town with plenty of decent budget options --- DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID!!

Worth staying at just to have breakfast in the little cafe/bar just outside the motel. Ham and Eggs and the omelette both highly recommend. Good service as well.

My Wife and I were planning to spend Friday and Saturday night in Williams. I had called and reserved a room on my credit card. We were about an hour away when I called to confirm our room. The lady that answereed the phone was so busy talking over me I could not confirm that we had a room. We arrived in Williams at about 8:10 p.m., drove to the Budget Host and asked if we still had a room. The same lady ask me if I wanted to make a reservation, I said " no we already have a reservation for a room. She looked and told me that I didn't have a reservation for Friday or Saturday there. We left an drove east to the east end of town finding a room for both Friday and Saturday nights. The lady from the Budget Host called me on my cellm phone and asked "when are you checking in"? I informed her that I had just been there and that she had informed me that I did not have a reservation. Please, if you have someone runing your front desk, train them to listen first and ask questions later and not to argue with the customers. I don't thing I'll be calling there again!!
