The downtown Williams hotels are a walk from the depot, where the train and the Polar Express leave. The hotels on the edge of town are a short drive away, and Valle is further north on the road to the South Rim.

Williams is where the train leaves from and has more choice; Valle is closer to the South Rim but has only a few places to stay, and one of them needs a high-clearance car.
