I don't dish out 5 star reviews all willy nilly but Ellsworth definitely earned it. I've stayed here twice for a total of about 25 days. The staff has always been extra polite and accommodating (especially Scott and Lynn). The rooms are always clean and because the property is new the furnishings are in good shape. You can't beat the location with everything in the area being walking distance (including a Smiths grocery store across the street). This is by far the best Choice brand hotel I've stayed in and I've stayed at plenty. Be careful with the fridge as my water froze overnight. Also if you sleep light bring plugs as there's a train that passes just outside the hotel. I imagine the train noise would apply to every hotel in this area but Ive only stayed here.

This is a great place to stay. The rooms are modern, we'll kept and clean. Reasonable price. Very nice staff. This is where I will stay when I visit Williams AZ. You can walk across the street to Safeway for snacks or anything else you might need. Close to restaurant and the train depo.

We stayed at this hotel last week and everything was great! The service, cleanliness, the aesthetics! It was a gorgeous hotel. Lihn was amazing, great customer service. Housekeeping is also very nice and professional. They have free coffee and hot cocoa, free popcorn and a pool table with other board games. It’s kid friendly. They also sell snacks in the lobby, but the Safeway is just across the street, super convenient. They also have a guest laundry room and gym! If you go to Williams, AZ this is the best hotel to stay at.

I had a wonderful stay at the Ellsworth Hotel in Arizona. The hotel was comfortable and welcoming, but what truly made the experience exceptional was the receptionist, Lin. She was absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Lin went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and made me feel truly taken care of. Her professionalism and friendly attitude made a big difference in my stay. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel!

Scott & Lynn were both very personable & helpful. Had a Prickly Pear beer at the bar waiting for my son & grandkids. The room had a small refrigerator & microwave. No actual closet but there were hooks & hangars on the wall - that's not a big deal for me.

Very clean and comfy beds. More upscale than other local options. Nice bathroom without tub. Fridge and microwave were both useful and being across from supermarket and close to shops and restaurants made everything super easy. Staff also very friendly. Could hear neighbor’s TV, but wasn’t a big deal. Highly recommended!

We were very happy with our stay overall. The manager was excellent over the Christmas break when we stayed. He was friendly and very accommodating, and checked on us several times when he saw us passing through the lobby. The rooms are very clean and nice. The only complaint, and this is probably because it's an older building that has been renovated, is that the noise carries through quite easily. We had 2 rooms booked and we could hear each other talking even at normal voice levels.
