Drovers Inn

I booked the Drover's Inn China Camp room online. John, the owner, did not ask for a credit card deposit, which made me a little nervous. On learning that we wouldn't be arriving till 9PM, I called to tell John, he said so worries. I was so afraid we wouldn't have a place to stay once we arrived. Not only was our room ready, but John was there to greet us. This is a small B&B type place that is attached to an area called the Wild West Junction. The room was immaculate, everything was spotless. We had two beds and it was decorated in a Chinese décor. Each room is decorated in a Décor depicting the old west. Included in our price was breakfast at the Wild West junction restaurant. Anything on the menu and it was delicious! We also ate at the bar/restaurant one might, it was very go

I found this quite by accident when searching the web for accommodation in Williams, and reserved the Hacienda suite back in January for the final leg of our road trip through California and Arizona. The Inn is the accommodation side of the Wild West Junction - see separate review - which is a little town in itself, set back from the main road through Williams.||||On-line reservation was by mail to Mayor John Moore. Surprisingly easy and no hassle, no need for up front payment - John works on trust.||||Check in is easy if you know where you're going! I didn't. We arrived fairly late at 9pm after a 12 hour drive from San Diego, via Julian, Salton Sea, Lake Havasu City and Kingman. We were tired and my brain had stopped functioning on all cylinders. I parked on the main road outside the Wild

My friend (a Williams local) and I decided to spend our visit in Williams at the Dover Inn for girls' spa day. We reserved the Hacienda Suite for two nights. This gave us all day to take advantage of the services in and around Wild West, which included a mani/pedi and a massage. Then doing a hair treatment back in the room while enjoying coloring books and other girly endeavours in a relaxed atmosphere. Wonderfully relaxing without needing to hurry off here and there.||The Hacienda Suite is quite cozy with two rooms, a wonderful spa like bathroom, a bar area, and a private patio. Unfortunately, winter popped in so we couldn't take full advantage of the patio. The only thing missing was a cozy chair or two to curl up in. It would be nice if the bed in to front room could be replaced with

Our experience at Drover's Inn had some very good and some not so good points. I would love to rate it higher but the negatives bring it down. First and foremost let me say that the hospitality of the folks who work here and frequent here was amazing. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. I can't express how nice they were. Reservations are easily made by phone and they hold the room you want with your name. In the morning you get to go down to their restaurant and order just about any item off the menu and it is included with your room. The breakfast was very good. The room we got was the Hacienda suite. It was unique and had character. Now for the bad points. The location suffers from a lot of road and train noise as well as noise from people likely wandering from bars late at night.

Key collection was from the busy saloon bar. The themed room (China Camp) was nicely decorated, however every surface was covered with a layer of dust. There were two double beds with one bedside table between and these filled the room. There were no storage facilities, no tea/coffee facilities, and no room to move around. Free wifi was available in the saloon but it did not work in the room. A number of lights did not work. The bathroom was spacious but could have been cleaner and we had to ask in the bar for more toilet tissue as there was no maid service during our two night stay. Parking was on street. We were looking forward to staying somewhere different than the standard motel room however now we wish we had.
