Warmly decorated rooms & suites in a cozy motel offering free breakfast & a patio with fireplaces.
The Lodge on Route 66 sits right in downtown Williams, close enough to walk to the town's shops, diners, and classic-car cruise nights. It's a small independent property rather than a chain motel, and reviewers consistently point to the front desk staff and the free upgrades several guests received at check-in as the reason it stands out.
Suites like the two-bedroom Pontiac come with a kitchenette (sink, mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker), extra seating, and multiple TVs — useful for families passing through on the way to or from the Grand Canyon. An outdoor patio with gazebo seating and on-demand fireplaces gives the property a gathering-spot feel in the evenings, and parking is free. There's no pool, gym, or laundry room; one guest noted the older building's walls and floors can be a little noisy.
Free continental breakfast — fruit, cereal, sausage, waffles, and bread — runs roughly 7:00-10:00 AM. Reviews describe it as decent but modest, and a couple of guests preferred walking to a nearby diner instead. Location makes up for it: the lodge is within walking distance of practically everything in downtown Williams.
A dependable, walkable choice for a one-night stop in Williams before or after a Grand Canyon Railway ride or the drive north to the South Rim.

Great location. Check in easy, staff super friendly. They have a cute little gift area at office. Rooms update, very clean, outdoor setting area with fireplaces. Very convenient for walking the town. Great selection of restaurants nearby.

We stayed for one night at The Lodge on Route 66. The rooms are all on one level, with outside doors. The rooms are very dated but clean. The rooms are on the small side. We had a room with 2 queen beds. The only place to sit other than the bed(s), is on a metal chair. I believe they gave us 2 of them.There is no space for an upholstered chair. It is tight space walking around the beds and dresser, especially in the dark. There was no desk as I've had in other hotels on this 24-day trek on Route 66. Upon checking in, we were informed there is a continental breakfast offered for guests in the office from 7 am-10 am. My husband went over at 9:50 a.m. to bring something back to the room. Everything was already put away. The staff member told him that no one had come in to parttake for the last half hour so they had put it away, but didn't specify what time the decision to do it was made. Our point is we should be able to walk ten minutes before it is to end it the food offered should still be available. The staff at the hotel was very nice. There was good communication from the booking to our stay. It is well located within walking distance of a lot of shops, attractions and restaurant. I booked a lot of rooms for the 3.5 week trek we are making on Route 66. The price we paid here was much higher than others where we stayed that were comparable as far as being an indendent property, not a chain. And it was the one accommodation we liked the least based on the layout and condition of the room as I described above.

Centrally located in Williams AZ, I found this charming motel to be perfect for my party of four. We had a one night stay along Route 66 on our way to California. Easy to get to. Close to Grand Canyon. Walking distance from practically everything in Williams. We were treated to the Route 66 celebration that was going on with the streets lined with classic cars. The room at The Lodge was nice. The beds were nice. And the outdoor covered gazebo was amazing for late evening and early morning conversations. The on demand fireplaces added the perfect touch to the experience. 5/5 will stay again when coming through!
