About

Arizona 9 Motor Hotel is a small, family-run motel on Route 66 in downtown Williams, the kind of place where the exterior undersells what's inside. Reviewers consistently note the same surprise: a plain facade giving way to clean, comfortable rooms with better beds and quieter nights than the roadside look suggests. With a 3.9 rating from 250 Google reviews, it's a solid budget pick for anyone road-tripping between Flagstaff and the South Rim.

What guests mention

The location comes up again and again — guests describe it as walking distance from just about everything in Williams' compact downtown, useful if you'd rather park once and explore on foot. Rooms come with microwaves and a decent-size fridge, and there's a small on-site setup with vending snacks and self-serve ice. Several reviewers specifically praised the husband-and-wife team running the front desk, calling them friendly and accommodating, including with larger families needing extra space.

  • Good to know: pet-friendly with a reasonable pet fee
  • Amenities: in-room microwave, fridge, wall-unit heater, complimentary parking
  • Location: 315 W Route 66, walking distance to downtown Williams

It's an older building — a few reviews mention tight bathrooms — but for the price and the location on the way to the Grand Canyon Railway depot, it consistently earns repeat stays.

Place in all honesty does not look the best on the outside. But we were surprised when we went into the room. The room was super clean. We could not hear much or anything going on outside and that was nice. Walking distance from EVERYTHING in town. The best part was the husband and wife staff? Workers? Management company? Not sure but they were so nice and good. We are a family of 6 and they got us a room and it was amazing. The only downside and it is not even a complaint per se. The toilet is right next to the wall. But this was built a million years ago so people were smaller lol. Would stay here again. Will STAY HERE AGAIN.

Had this room booked for a several months booked with super.com get here and the girl at the desk stated I didn't pay I showed my booking, I showed where I paid. Sat on the phone with super.com for a hour. While I was waiting to get support I asked the young lady if I could use her restroom. We drove straight from Vegas. She said she didn't have a restroom I could use I could go to a restaurant or a store. That was a huge drag. So I went to the circle K still on hold. Finally got a hold of support I was given a option for them to call the motel and resolve or cancel. I canceled got a refund and went up the road to La Quinta. Was already a huge inconvenience, not allowing me to use the restroom was a deal breaker. The owner I spoke to a couple of times to confirm well before I came was so nice and confirmed my stay. I called before we headed that way today to see if we could check in early and the guy was still just so nice said swing by around 1. Get there and nothing but problems. I understand not allowing outsiders to use the restroom but a guest ? Yes I was a paying guest depsite the issues with the young lady not seeing where it was paid. Ahwell. La Quinta here is really nice. I am paying double to what Arizona 9 was, but you get what you pay for.

The room was very clean the bed was very comfortable. And they are pet friendly. The price was very good for us seniors. The only thing was was that the shower was to small and the toilet was leaning.

When in the amazingly fun Route 66 town of Williams, Arizona, enjoy the mid-century charm of the Arizona Nine motor lodge. With a long history on the Mother Road, it is perfect for a retro stop or as a base of operations for your Grand Canyon adventure. The room was quite large and impeccably clean. The location is in the heart of the vibrant Williams main street, replete with shopping, good food, and even a wild west shoot out by the dreaded “Cataract Creek Gang.”

I stopped overnight on a road trip between Albuquerque NM and San Diego CA, with my terrier dog, stayed in room 25, parked conveniently and safely in front of the door to my room, the way I like it. My friend Steve told me to give this motel a try. It was cold when I arrived, and the wall-unit heater warmed the room up very fast. I had a quiet, cozy stay and a good sleep on a comfy, clean bed. It's a well-priced, basic motel, with a reasonable pet fee. It was clean, water hot, toiletries, all you need. The flooring in my room was vinyl, great for pet rooms, and my socks remained clean. They even have a small "cafe" with vending snacks and self-service ice. An extra pillow and a hairdryer would be an appreciated plus. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. ETA: I arrived without a reservation. Edit #2: I never checked the drawers for a hair dryer, good to know for next time. Thank you!
