09/26/2023 This was a good stop since there is a gift travel shop to look through and restrooms. Get out and stretch your legs and take a look at the classic cars around the corner of the building. Don't go across the street to Bedrock City. Rude customer service there from the gift shop workers, maybe part of the Raptor Ranch. You have to walk through that gift shop just to get to Fred's Diner. You could take your chances over there or continue shopping here. Here, you get snacks and drinks for your drive to the National park up north or down to Route 66. You have options in my opinion. This pit stop here is well worth the stars. Almost everyone in my vehicle got out and a few people bought something besides me putting gas in the vehicle. If we wanted to stay longer, I would have suggested that taco truck in the parking lot with a giant beverage from inside the Chevron portion.

Absolutely appreciated the vintage cars outside! A great Southwest souvenir shop! Moccasins, fur rugs, cowboy hats & belts. Also a public restroom. Highly recommend

Stopped by right before getting to the Grand Canyon for a quick pit stop. Bathrooms were clean, employees were working hard, and the Knick knacks were cute. I ended up getting 2 different designs of pressed pennies for my collection. Overall a pretty average tourist oriented travel center, but I'm giving 4 stars instead of 3 because I couldn't find pressed penny machines anywhere else and I appreciated being able to add to my collection.

A good stop for whatever before heading out for grander places (aka The Grand Canyon). Easy to spend lots here; there's lots to spend on. Not only gas but good snacks and decent trinkets, too. Not like there's anything wrong with that!

Huge and beautiful amethyst! Great store!

Made a quick pit stop as we traveled to Sedona. This is a one stop shop! They have everything you can think of. A ton of gifts, souvenirs, clothing, jewelry and accessories. I had to refrain from buying things! But i managed to grab my snacks and leave without overspending. Definitely a great stop!

Well, well, well! We definitely felt that we fit the touristy scene at this travel stop & shop! Following our first day in Williamz, AZ, we wanted to stock up on some awesome snacks, and found Valle Travel Stop & Chevron is beyond the gas station experience. We spent 1 hour max, looking at a combination of a vintage car show, dummies dressed in 1950's era. Betty Boop, Coca Cola, Native American belts and boots were seen here. I saw gifts for every age, gender and special occasion. The route 66 signage was definitely displayed everywhere and I was intrigued to see it, as I only visited Santa Monica and Long Beach (Route 66.) This place is sooo much fun, but definitely a tourist stop for sure. They have a gas station service, with coffee, lottery tickets, local snacks etc., I really enjoyed it. There is the famous Fred's Diner across the street, a couple of other small businesses, but nothing much for miles.

Don't be distracted by words like "truck stop" or "gas station". These only scratch the surface of what you'll find at Valle. First of all, it's a great location to stop. Valle is at the crossroads of U.S. Route 180 and SR 64 ... so whether you're heading south to Flagstaff or north to the Grand Canyon, it's the perfect time in a road-trip to get out and stretch. It's also in spitting distance of the Planes of Fame Museum, Bedrock City (a Flintstones-themed eatery and campground), and Double Eagle Trading Company, all great places. If you decide to make it a day in Williams, you'll fill the day up quick! Inside Valle, you'll find a convenience store stocked with about anything you could possibly need. You're likely to run into a turquoise junkie in the store: They've got an ample stash Native American Jewelry with rare "White Buffalo" Turquoise (exclusive to the White Buffalo Mine in Tonopah, Nevada). They also have ample Native American items, mainly Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni: Jewelry, Kachina dolls, hand-woven Navajo rugs, dreamcatchers, ceramics, and sand paintings ... to name a few. Don't forget to walk around outside! Past the gas station and main store, there's a great display of about a dozen antique cars. It's a little piece of 1950s heaven. Valle isn't a pit-stop ... it's a must-stop!

Great place to atop and look around tons of souviners and Indian craft plus unique gifts. They also have classic cars and some antiques. Great place to stretch you legs and look around on your trip from Williams to the Grand Canyon

There was a western wear shop inside this location. It was almost like stepping foot into some portal that lands you in Wyoming. Good selection of stuff like post cards, fridge magnets, and other tourist goodies. Clean bathrooms but fuel is expensive.

One of the best souvenir shop near the grand canyon. Full of miscellaneous and odd gifts. They have cowboy boots, route 66 stuff, old coca cola memorabilia, jewelry, fridge magnet, clothes, and more. Prices are actually reasonable for being it in the middle of nowhere. I highly recommend stopping here before and after the grand canyon. Also, clean restroom and great place to grab drinks and snacks.

Old school cars and gas station on site.

Kathy is the souvenir section was so polite and filled with information in the area. She welcomed us with a smile and gave best wishes when departing. All three stars are for her!!! However... Kristina that checks out on the side with the snacks is so rude. I walked up, checked out and received change and she never said "hello" or "thank you/Goodbye" etc.... Her entire attitude was just off putting. So if it was solely for her this would be a one star. Get it together girl. Bathrooms: Clean. Cute fountain sink. Air dryers, which the green part of me loves. However, I like to use tissues to open the doors. I would return if I was in the area for Kathy, but they seriously need to train Kristina better.

The gas seems pricey here until you reach Tusayan, and have to take out a second mortgage on your house. I recommended gassing up in Williams or Flagstaff, but if you are closing in on the park, and running low, stop here. The staff has always been pleasant, and there is a decent beverage and snack selection. If you are planing to hike to the Colorado river and back in one day, (despite the many printed warnings to do otherwise) stop and stock up on Gatorade and salty snacks, like Pringles, beef jerky and pretzels. Get a flashlight too, as you will be hiking out in the dark. They also have a gift shop inside. Fun local facts: The Valle families on either side of HWY 64 (Flintstones Bedrock & Valle Travel stop sides) used to shot pot shots at each other, back in the olden days, as they were both in competition for tourism dollars. They have some cool bronzesque statues which keep the medics entertained. While taking a photo next to a bucking Big Horn Sheep or Black Bear is a cool idea, ridding them is hazardous to one's health. (I think they have signs that eluding to this.)

Bought a $50 ring only for the stone to fall out 2 hours later after buying. Would not recommend buying jewelry from there.

Grand Canyon's Yavapai Lodge - Room was clean and well maintained.

Grand Canyon's Yavapai Lodge

We stayed for two nights in the park, and overall it was a good stay. The lodge is inside the…read morepark, and very close to the south rim of the canyon. They have two different sections. We were in Yavapai West, which is the older section, it's more like a drive up roadside motel. There are six single story buildings in a circle. We were in building six. At Yavapai West, no matter what building you are, you park just feet from your room. Yavapai East is. The newer section, it is two story, more like a brand name motel, and it is a bit more modern. Saying that, we were very happy where we were The room had a coffee pot, a microwave and a fridge, the TV got a good number of channels, the Wi-Fi was a little bit slow, but was still fast enough to stream video. The beds were extremely comfortable. Everything including the bathroom was spotless. We paid approximately $400 for two nights, but hey, we were extremely close to the south rim of the canyon in summertime. Those are summertime prices. If you stay at someplace like the El Tovar, you are going to pay a lot more. The lodge itself has a gift shop, it has a Starbucks, it has a cafeteria, and it has the Yavapai Tavern. It also has an area where you can do some work, like on your laptop, if you need to The food at the cafeteria is good. the Starbucks, hey, it's a Starbucks, you are going to pay a bit more because you are at the canyon. The tavern had excellent food. Right across the parking lot from the lodge is the general store, it has gifts, it has sundries, and it has groceries. The people that are camping come for the groceries. I didn't care for it, because the one time I went into the store, I was just going to buy something simple like a candy bar and a soda. Out of all of the registers, only two of them. Were open, and there were like six or seven people in each line. They didn't even have a self check out which could've helped. I just left. It is a good place to stay, and again, you are in the park and close to everything. We would stay there again. Thanks.

When we got there he took our orders up and got it situated while we found a large table for our group of 11. There is plenty of room here for large groups. The food was decent and no frills. After being outside in the beautiful park it hit the spot. Again our guide was able to get a few items that was initially missed on our tables order so that was nice.

Navajo Blue Travel Plaza - Pinon Nut Rootbeer

One of the cleanest and modern restrooms I've been to. They also had their Navajo fizz drink…read morebrewery inside. And a great selection of stickers. However, their food menu was a little confused between the different Indians. There's the Navajo Indians and then there's Indians from the subcontinent of India. The entire menu was Navajo Indian food and then there are these couple items here that are from the Indians from India which I found funny.

We weren't originally planning on visiting Navajo Blue Travel Plaza, but after seeing bottles of…read moreNavajo Fizz soda at some shops around the Navajo Nation, we saw the main bottling location was at Navajo Blue! Of course we had to give it a visit on our way out of Flagstaff. Blue Corn Mush ($5) - This is pretty smooth, blended well similar to fine grits in texture. The flavor is totally different with a slight bitterness and a ton of corn flavor that's quite a bit different from typical sweetcorn. There's a certain savory quality that I wouldn't quite call smoky, I wonder if it's from the juniper ash? The mush isn't seasoned at all, so just the light natural flavors shine. Navajo Fizz 12oz Bottle ($2.49 each or 4 for $9.69) - We tried four of the flavors Pinon Root Beer - This has a rather medicinal root flavor, although different from typical root beer. There's a harsher root flavor that goes up the nose. It has a pretty pleasing sweetness level from cane sugar; I'm surprise they manage to get it so sweet with only 15g listed in the ingredients (to be honest, I think the label is lying given that the other sodas have way more sugar). There's a good light fizzy level, a gentle fizz, not harsh. I wouldn't say that the drink is a very strong pine nutty in flavor. It is a rather unique root beer flavor; I don't normally like root beer, but I really enjoyed this one. Greenthread Tea - Hmm not sure I like this one too much. It tastes kind of like those lemon honey flavored cough drops with a slight earthy flavor that comes later. I'd love to get some greenthread by itself to try out what it actually tastes like. Edit: A couple of days later I picked up some greenthread tea from a flea market vendor. It tastes kind of like chamomile with a hint of mint, so not really this soda flavor profile. Sumac Berries Strawberry - Woah, this one is really good. It actually tastes like fresh strawberry, with all the complex aromas and flavors, not the flat artificial strawberry taste. I'm really impressed with it. It's the best strawberry soda I've ever had. I'm not really sure what sumac berries taste like though! Peaches & Cream - Another amazing soda, this time a fresh peach juice flavor with cream added. It's like drinking carbonated peach juice. I normally don't like grape flavored soda since it usually tastes so artificial, but considering how good the fruit sodas are here, I regret not buying that flavor as well. Heck, I should have bought a ton more soda of every variety to tide us over the next 2 weeks of our trip! It's really some excellent soda. Unfortunately, none of the other shops in the Navajo Nation I visited afterwards stocked Navajo Fizz! The travel plaza also sells all sort of Navajo cuisine staples. Stuff like roasted blue/yellow/white cornmeal, juniper ash, greenthread tea, steam corn, frybread mix, etc. As we found out later, it's actually cheaper here than many of the Bashas' Dine' grocery stores in the Navajo Nation. Navajo Blue Travel Plaza has instantly become a must stop destination anytime I'm in the area again. The sodas are just so good, and the Navajo food they sell seems to be pretty great as well!

This was my first time in a motel like this. I was a bit worried stopping here as I had no idea…read morewhat to expect, but it was late and we needed a place to sleep before continuing our trip through Arizona. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and comfort of this place. The owners are very nice people and the room was spotless and smelled clean. It seemed like they just went through an extensive renovation, because even the windows and A/C units seemed brand new, but I forgot to ask. There is coffee and some breakfast foods in the office in the mornings. Location is very convenient, close to the Interstate, right on Old Route 66 along with several food options, and close to the middle of nowhere, which was a huge plus for us because we were interested in checking out the night sky away from all the light pollution of large cities. Turns out we only had to drive out about 10 minutes to find some very dark skies where you can see all the stars and even the Milky Way and lots of meteors, if you're lucky. To a bunch of city people, the stargazing was one of the high points of the trip.

3.5 stars. This place is pretty cool! But it is definitely zero frills…read more Good-- There is a vending machine in the parking lot. Beds are comfy. Parking lot is convenient. Staff is amazing. Mini Fridge & Microwave. Room is warm upon arrival (this is a review written in the winter). Just okay-- No ice machine. Bare minimum decor. Poor lighting in the room. Overall-- I'd stay here again, but the price point is a little high for the value. A pretty good experience in general!
