Overview
Americas Best Value Inn Williams Grand Canyon is a 2-star budget motel set directly on Historic Route 66 in Williams, Arizona. It offers a straightforward, no-frills base for exploring the Grand Canyon region, with 534 reviews averaging a strong 4 out of 5 rating. Rooms are accessed via exterior corridors, giving it the classic roadside motor-inn feel typical of Route 66 lodging.
Rooms
Guest rooms are unassuming and compact, featuring free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and sitting areas. Coffeemakers, microwaves, and minifridges are available upon request rather than as standard in-room fixtures. Multiple reviewers describe rooms as small but clean and well-equipped enough for a couple's overnight stay.
Dining & Services
A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning, with guests noting simple offerings such as fruit, coffee, oatmeal, and toast. The property also provides complimentary parking and an on-site business center for guests needing to print or handle quick work tasks.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits within walking distance of several Williams attractions, including Pete's Route 66 Gas Station Museum (246m), the Poozeum (298m), Grand Canyon Wine Co. (335m), the Canyon Coaster Adventure Park (412m), and the Williams Visitor Center (414m). It's also close to the Grand Canyon Railway Depot (602m) and the Route 66 Museum and Gift Shop (1,067m), with Bearizona Wildlife Park about 2 miles away and Kaibab Lake, Cataract Lake, and Bill Williams Mountain all within a few miles for outdoor recreation.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious travelers and road-trippers touring Historic Route 66 who want a simple, affordable base within walking distance of Williams' main attractions and the Grand Canyon Railway Depot. It also works well for families, since children age 11 and under stay free and nearby attractions like Bearizona Wildlife Park and the Canyon Coaster Adventure Park offer easy entertainment options.
Travel tips
Because the motel uses exterior corridor access, pack accordingly for weather when moving between your car and room. Many of Williams' key sights -- the Visitor Center, Route 66 attractions, and the Grand Canyon Railway Depot -- are within a 5-10 minute walk, so a car isn't strictly necessary once you've arrived, though one is useful for reaching Bearizona Wildlife Park, Kaibab Lake, and Bill Williams Mountain. If you plan to ride the Grand Canyon Railway, the depot is just over half a kilometer away, making early morning departures easy on foot.
What guests say
Guest reviews consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and the hotel's affordable pricing relative to its convenient Route 66 location. Cleanliness of rooms and bathrooms is frequently mentioned as a positive, along with a decent bed size despite compact room dimensions. The complimentary continental breakfast, though simple with items like fruit, coffee, oatmeal, and toast, is called out as a nice touch, and some guests specifically appreciated the toiletries provided. The main recurring drawback noted is that rooms run small, though most reviewers felt this was acceptable for the price and for stays of one or two people.
