Choose this instead for also a pool and restaurant, at a lower rate and a much lower score.
One of the few Williams properties in our data with a pool, a restaurant and a bar all confirmed, and it still sits in the value band at 8.8 across 329 reviews. Pets are confirmed. The review base is smaller than the big Williams motels, so the score rests on fewer stays.
Location reality
In Williams, outside the park. About 53 miles to the South Entrance Station, roughly 1 hour 5 minutes. A full hour each way by car, or the railway instead of driving.
