The Grand Motel in Williams is a perfect stop along route 66. My girlfriend and I stopped here for one night on our way to the Grand Canyon. We loved it. For the price you will not beat it.

We stayed in the "Route 66" room. The room is basic but clean. The furninture is vintage and in surprisingly good shape for it's age. Liked the red curtains and pictures of classic cars. Nice touch.

The king bed was very comfortable and the new heating/ac unit was whisper-quiet. Slept great.

In the morning we enjoyed breakfast with the owner and some fellow travellers. Lucy and Ethel, the resident cat and dog, stopped in to give their regards. Wish we had stayed another night.

We stayed at the Grand Motel. It is a quaint little older motel. The rooms are small, but clean. The price was right. Bob the owner and host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Canyon, Williams and the surrounding area. We had a nice breakfast on the patio. The Grand Motel is part of the whole trip. It's not only having a place to stay, it's getting to know your surroundings. The small details are the ones you tuck away and remember when you look back on your travels. I highly recommend that you include this in your travel plans.

We stayed here on Sep 22 2007 while visiting the Grand Canyon.
It is only an hr drive to the canyon and some good restaurants here.It is a very nice little quaint route 66 town to visit.
The rooms were very clean and all were different.
$50 for a single(small) and $55 for a double.
The owner (Bob) was very pleasant .
The free breakfast set up in the morning was very good,
and much to choose from.
The music playing from the office was great, oldies from the 60's
You can't please everybody, but in todays prices $50 how can you complain....clean room and great free breakfast.
Great little town and hotel...........

I stayed int his hotel for two reasons, 1) I enjoy supporting small business owners over big corporations 2) I wanted to experience an authentic Route 66 motel.

Booking was easy, did it directly through the property owner over the phone.
Room was unlike any I had ever stayed in (i am used to standard holiday inn/best western rooms). Definitely had the feel of an old-school motel. Bathroom and bed were extremely clean. Carpet needs replacement, but it added to the authenticity.
Breakfast was veryyyyy nice the next morning. Had all types of things which we took with us and ate in the car.

Williams is a neat little place. I am happy I stayed there over the grand canyon/bigger town. Restaurants and shops are at walking distance.

Greetings, Bob, from Naples, Florida. We were in Williams one night last week and opted for this motel as we wanted the Rt. 66, 1950, experience. If you don't, then don't book it.
My dad took us on this route in 1960, so I remember these motor courts. This is one. Small, authentic room. Squeeky inner spring mattress was comfortable and we had a good night's rest. William is also a fun place IF YOU DO RETRO. If not, DON'T GO THERE. All the people are friendly and the food and entertainment were surprising.

Bottom line... be smart. Set your expectations like a grown up person and you will have fun. If you are a spoiled woosie-boy, then stay in Sedona or at the Canyon.

A Naples, Florida, Couple (as in $$$)
