    This is such a cute hotel in the middle of Williams, close to all the stores and restaurants. This hotel is located right next door to canyon coaster adventure park. We came for a quick 24 hour trip because my friend needed to pick up her daughter from a camping trip. My friend and I were looking forward to line dancing in the camp hall but unfortunately the camp hall was closed for a wedding. The hotel should have mentioned this to their guests in advance. Miss kittys is a small restaurant inside their hotel. Food and drinks were awesome! Highly recommend even if you're not staying at the hotel, go for dinner! We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening. It's so nice to enjoy the cooler temps outside while relaxing in a hot tub and star gazing.

    When we planned our Route 66 roadtrip from Chicago to LA, we decided to stay here because the Marriott points were low compared to staying in Flagstaff. This is not a Marriott property, but they've signed a long-term partnership with Trailborn. The hotel was originally the Thunderbird and most recently a Red Roof Inn. It's located in Williams, which is a super cute Route 66 town about a one-hour drive from the Grand Canyon south entrance. It's the first hotel on your way into town and is located right next to the Canyon Adventure Park that has alpine coasters and other activities. We were a little nervous based on the pictures online, but were pleasantly surprised when we checked in. The property is decorated with mid-Century and Western inspiration, with the room furniture and lamps, as well as the onsite restaurant and gathering room, fitting the vibe. Onsite amenities include a pool and spa, outside game activities, the Camp Hall gathering room with shuffleboard and board games, and bike rentals. On the weekends there are other activities in Camp Ha like dancing and bingo, but we were there on a Monday night. There's outdoor seating with a fire pit, and you can buy a s'mores kit if you're interested. You park right by your room motel style, and there are 4 Tesla charging stations available. We didn't dine in the restaurant but did order hush puppies and the chile apple pie to go. Both were delicious. Only complaints are that the beds are a little soft and you can hear the train what feels like all night.

    Going on a hike? Use this!

    When we had an opportunity to drive our girls home from college from North Carolina to California my husband said he really wanted to see the Grand Canyon on the way home. He chose Trailborn probably because abuse it has ties to the Bonvoy collection of lodging. Trailborn Grand Canyon appears to be a remodel project where every detail has been thoughtfully executed. The branding is immaculate. So cute. Honestly reminds me of my daughter's artwork and creativity. The accommodations are tight/cozy but super comfy. I needed an iron and they only provide steamers. Very millennial. Steamers don't work for everything. We were only here one night but would like to come back with our whole family and grandson.

    There's a new sheriff in town....and it's called the Trailborn Grand Canyon. Hotels can be a tricky choice, most certainly when it is in a vacation hotspot of Williams, Arizona. Your choices range the standards of commercially recognized properties and a few off brand motels and places of hospitality. It's been a long time since I've looked forward to reviewing a diamond in the crown of hotels local to Williams. From the moment of arrival, the appearance and spirit of the Trailborn embodies everything in a rustic, western, old school environment. The property is immaculate, from the lobby to the grounds to the rooms, the staff are up to the task of providing a pleasant check in process, all of the necessities needed for a memorable stay. The rooms are undeniably comfortable, beds are just perfect, well decorated and just damn charming, a walk back into the past, think back to any summer camp you went to or experienced and you're starting to get the idea. Take into consideration the grounds, a pool and spa, a towering fire pit, bicycles for use by customers, a remarkably beautiful motif with colors that blend in with the towering pine trees, I mean it just couldn't be any more beautiful. Its location on the Main Street of Williams is a brief walk from bustling downtown Williams and all of its shops and eateries, but if you are looking for a spectacular place to dine ? The on-site Ms Kitty's bar and restaurant is going to satisfy every craving, the food is off the charts. By virtue of being a customer ? A 6am complimentary breakfast will start your day before you're off to the Grand Canyon, BeArizona or the Forest slide right next to the property. My past reviews have usually included some disappointment or disdain with some expectation or service, I couldn't find anything wrong here if I tried. Simply put ? When you start researching your vacation or stay ? This property will either show up as available or won't because it's sold out, this being a still relatively new addition to Williams, the word is getting out. The prices are reasonable and most certainly are equivalent to others in the area but there's so much more to offer here. It's takes a village to become top notch, and this will easily become the crown jewel of Williams Arizona while everyone is watching. I've had three one night stays in the last month, I intend to make this a regular stop in my travels.

    This hotel is in a great spot and it has potential but we won't be back. We had issues with our room. Checked in 10 minutes early, and was told room was still being cleaned, so we waited. Walked in, and noticed floors weren't mopped or vacuumed as there was dog food on the floor and crumbs on the tile. Showers were not cleaned as my husband said there was a huge wad of female black hair bundled up on top of the shampoo/conditioner dispenser. We understand we are in the desert, but this is the only hotel we've ever stayed in out here that had a bug issue. Within 2 hours of being in the hotel, we killed 2 spiders, 1 cricket, 1 nat crawling on a pillow, and one beetle that was crawling across the ceiling. Again, sad to say for the price we expected more. It has so much potential, but the cleanliness was not there whatsoever and was a huge disappointment. Upon checkout, I was asked how our stay was and responded "it was okay, could have been better." and no concern from front staff to ask what any issues were. We won't be back nor would we recommend it to family/friends.

    If you're ever looking for a delightful place to stay on Route 66 near the Grand Canyon, I highly recommend Trailborn Grand Canyon in Williams! We found this beautifully updated (and wonderfully designed) hotel via Marriott and had a really great experience as a last hurrah of the summer. From the moment we pulled in off Route 66, we were swept into a world of vintage charm and thoughtful design. Every detail felt intentional: the logo, typeface, signage, and room decor were all done perfectly and in sync. With my passion for spatial design, I was genuinely impressed by how the brand identity tied everything together--not just visually, but emotionally. The food at Miss Kitty's Steakhouse was as good as any "foodie" place we've visited in Los Angeles. (And the deserts? Oh my Lord.) The vibes were so good that Robyn and I sat by the fire long after we watched the sunset. Free bikes to get your own kicks on Route 66, afternoon Ranchwater cocktails, and music drifting through the grounds made it feel like a modern-day roadside oasis. If you're heading to the Grand Canyon and want a place that blends nostalgia, style, and story with a lot of heart, Trailborn is where you need to stay. We loved it so much that we added an extra night!

    Staff were welcoming and professional upon arrival. The lobby has nice ambiance with plenty of snacks and collectibles to purchase. The grounds were well maintained and decorated nicely. Dinner service at Miss Kitty's was excellent. Room was comfortable and styled nicely. Thank you to the team at Trailborn. Well done.

I'm an older guy and limp around a bit so elevator not working is a problem. Fortunately our also older dog wasn't with us so I didn't have to carry her up the stairs to the 2nd story. We have stayed at 3 La Quintas in the last few weeks and 2 of them had elevators that didn't work. I am a long time La Quinta customer but now will not stay not only at La Quinta but also other Wyndham properties. Too many, if not all, are franchises and not corporately owned and managed. Wyndham seems to take no oversight responsibility for the properties and that's enough for me, as a gold rewards member and Wyndham credit card user to give them no more of my business.

We're from the South, where hospitality means a lot, and I can honestly say this was the best hotel service we've ever experienced. The Grand Canyon Railway was just a short walk away, making it incredibly convenient, and the restaurants nearby were all excellent. We also took the hotel's ghost tour, which was so much fun--although it definitely made it a little harder to fall asleep that night! Thank you all for making my birthday so memorable.

Yes -- it's the oldest hotel in Arizona... but it is by far better than any chain hotel I've ever stayed in. This boutique hotel has class, charm, and a personality you simply can't manufacture. And if you love a little mystery, you'll appreciate that some rooms are rumored to be haunted -- which honestly made it even more fun. It's nestled in a beautiful little town where everyone is welcoming, and it's just a train ride away from the Grand Canyon. Private parking, a stunning ballroom, and rooms that each have their own unique vibe and flair -- this place is special. My room was cozy, loft-style, and spacious, with one queen bed, three twins, and two bathrooms. This is absolutely the way to travel. Highly recommend.

I can no longer have just a bed and plop myself sitting up right in it to watch tv or enjoy a drink and perhaps a beverage. I need an actual chair with comfort.

We did not eat in the restaurant, so I can not speak for the food. You can purchase and all you can eat breakfast buffet. As part of your package for around $20 each, but we did not partake. It was your typical hotel, the room was bright and clean, the beds were very comfortable, the TV got a lot of cable channels, and the Wi-Fi worked very well. For the two of us, with a military /veterans discount, it was approximately $650. For that, we got a room for the night, an upgraded train ticket with the "Vista dome" car, and a bus tour of the Grand Canyon, including a very good all you can eat buffet lunch, and time to wander around Grand Canyon Village after the bus tour before the train came back.

I'm still a little on the fence about how I feel. The playground is far away. Like really far away. For some reason I thought it would be more central, but you have to exit the property and walk across the parking lot and then across a little bridge to get there. We only went one time because it was boiling outside and we also had other activities. It was nowhere near convenient, and it shouldn't have been part of the decision-making process. It might as well not even be there. The pool is something we used each night we stayed. It was open late and there are towels available for use. The water was colder than expected, but the kids would just run back and forth between the pool and the hot tub (which was always full). The rooms were comfortable enough, but not the cleanest. When we got there, there was some substance on the shower walls, there was standing dirty water in the tub, and there was trash like used contact lenses on the floor. Also, whenever we returned from being out, our room smelled weird. Once we turned in the air, the smell dissipated, but still. I like that we were close to the lobby and the ice/water machine. The hotel was also really convenient for our train trip, as the station is right next door. We enjoyed our stay, even with all the negatives, but I'd probably choose to stay somewhere else that is slightly cheaper, more modern, and with free breakfast included.

I think noise isolation might be an issue if all the rooms were occupied, but there was only one other guest that night, I can tell because the other rooms were vacant with door ajar. The rooms are very clean, unique and do have a pretty deep historical feel to it. I greatly enjoyed the decor and bed was reasonably comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was far superior to the motel that we stayed in the night before. The location is close to a few food dining options in town. There is a vending machine in a guest break room with snacks and drink, but unfortunately the whole machine appears to be out of drinks, which was very disappointing. Overall a comfortable and unique stay, but I wouldn't pay an astronomical price for this experience, probably no more than I would pay for a 3-star hotel.

The bed and pillows were comfy, reclining chair was comfy, TV had HBO movies, microwave and fridge worked fine, heater also heat up the place nicely! Did not use the safe. The bathroom is dated but was clean, hair dryer worked, and shower got warm quick with good water pressure. The walls are pretty thin! You can hear everyone in the hallways. One day when we arrived back to our room, the room directly above us was running a marathon in their room or something.. we let them get it out of their system for an hour and a half before calling the front desk who said they can hear it too. The front desk said they'd call them and the noise finally stopped shortly after. With that being said, we only encountered friendly customer service! The free breakfast served in a dining area consisted of scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, bagels, pancake maker, oatmeal packets, fruits, juice, coffee. Coffee and tea is available 24/7 in the lobby! For those traveling with their dogs: We walked our dog around the hotel in the parking lot which wraps around the building. It felt safe since the hotel is above the main road. There's a forest area which we walked in that leads to the Williams cemetery.
