About

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.

Rooms and amenities

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.

Breakfast and location

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.

Hard to give a fair review on this hotel because it was amazing in some ways, but lacked some things as well. On the plus side, the customer service was top notch with the front desk being extremely nice and helpful and even changed my room when I had a problem with the room that was reserved, and that change was to an upgraded room for no additional charge. In the upgraded room, the furnishings were very nice overall and the bed and towels were both soft and nice, with the rest of the furniture showing a clear effort at quality. The lodge is also well located in Williams. On the down side, the breakfast is average, the kitchenette had a sink with microwave and mid sized refrigerator and coffee machine but nothing else so I had to go buy plastic plates, cups and forks since I was there a few days. For an old building, the walls were kinda thin (or had one noisy neighbor) and the floors were noisy. Also, there are none of the usual amenities that make 4+ star hotels stand out. No pool, gym, laundry (I think), vending, concierge, but parking is free and there is a hangout area in the middle of the parking lot. Overall, a nice hotel in a small town that stands out above the chain or average hotel. Great value but I would rate it a solid 4 star hotel compared to most.

What a cool old school Route 66 hotel. It's southwest exterior and old motor court look is just a lead up to the room. We stayed in the Lincoln suite which had two rooms with a queen size bed in each one. Also, one room had a small modern kitchenette and the nicely appointed bathroom in the other. Perfect for a party of four. The breakfast was just fine and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. I will stay there again.

My hubby and I and our 4 year old son had did the Grand Canyon train ride Sunday morning and afterwards needed a hotel before we drove back to Las Vegas Monday . I googled hotels because I am very weird about staying in hotels because of cleanliness and bugs . This hotel and reviews were the best by far so we decided to stop . I made my husband ask the front desk lady , who was absolutely wonderful and friendly let me check out the room before we signed . We got the Pontiac suite which was amazing and clean . It had a fridge , microwave, sink and 2 bedrooms . We were very impressed with this suite and highly recommend to anyone traveling through . The heat and ac work very well and kept us super comfortable all night . The location was perfect . They also give free breakfast from 7-10 am . Fruits , cereals , sausage and waffles , orange juice and breads . It was a purfect breakfast before hitting the road . Highly recommend this hotel . Also thank you so much to the lovely lady working the desk Sunday evening , she was extremely sweet . Thank you 😊

NICE place with really,really soft beds. Maybe too soft/saggy if you like a firmer bed. OK continental breakfast options that had "you make" waffle machines & sausage patties, pastry/muffins and toast/bread options and cereals. OJ, milk and good coffee was also available.

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!
