My wife and I stayed 1 night on our way to the Grand Canyon. The motel and rooms were well maintained and clean. The food in the restaurant was about average. I had a burger that seemed to be a frozen patty but the toppings were all fresh. The continental breakfast was typical fare.
About half the staff were indifferent to us and the other half were very nice. There are numerous reviews on the staff if you look. After we checked in, mid-afternoon, we began asking about things to do or activities in Peach Springs. We were told that "there's nothing to do here" by 2 employees. One employee even told us that their web site is deceiving and they get "told that a lot". haha
We didn't expect to reach Peach Springs so early and wanted something to do besides sit in a room. There isn't anything here I guess besides the river rafting and that was closed for the season. Beyond that, there is a rough (very rough) canyon road that is a fairly nice drive if you go slow. It's about 18 miles long and in a car will take 1- 1 1/2 hours at a slow speed, one way. A few pickups sped past us but in a front wheel drive car I wouldn't recommend anything over 15 mph or so.
There are a lot of complaints about the train noise but we didn't hear it. We had a room on the highway side of the building and slept with the fan/heater on. The train tracks are literally right behind the building, as one reviewer put it "a stones throw away." If you stay here, get a room on the highway side of the building!!! You get a motel room for sleep and rest, if you can't sleep and rest, what good is it??
We read 2-3 reports of cars being vandalized overnight and that worried us but it was so cold out that I guess the little hoodlums stayed inside after dark.
If you need a place to sleep, this is a clean, basic motel that will suit your needs if you stay on the highway side of the building away from the trains. If you have the time and you're looking for something, anything at all to do, I would recommend driving on down the road a little ways.
I would give Hualapai Lodge (motel) a little better rating if some employees weren't so indifferent toward their clientele, I didn't have to worry about vehicle vandalism and if, according to their own words, the web site wasn't deceiving.
Room Tip: Be sure to get a room on the highway side or endure train noise every 15 minutes all night.
