Rodeway Inn & Suites Williams Downtowner - Rte 66
We had a king size bed. Room was a bit small but they are older Motel rooms. Breakfast was in a property over the other side of the road. Breakfast was ok, not the best but ok.

Star Hotel Route 66 Grand Canyon
Parking easy. Rooms were just ok. Very thin walls. Very noisy place. Lots of bikers on Harleys parked right outside the door. Overrated in my opinion. I could say that for the whole town though.
