“Overrated”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

There's a lot to be said for staying in a non-chain hotel now in then. In this case though, I wish we'd opted for a chain...
The check-in was awkward, beginning with the front desk guy (owner?) muttering complaints about the online booking service. We were immediately put off by a mildewy smell in the front office, as well as by a sign (all too common in AZ, it seems) stating that that they reserve the right to refuse service at any time, for any reason. The room was aging, cramped and overpriced (though clean enough).

Room Tip: There are not many units in this motel, and they all face the parking lot. I think there are both sm...

“Good basic motel on Road 66”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

A good "historic" motel in Williams on the Road 66. Don't expect anything fancy (rooms are basics), but the price is unmatched (§50).
Room was clean, fitted with 2 queen beds. A fridge, refrigerator, coffeemaker & sat TV are available in the rooms. Free wifi is also available. Owner was friendly.
There is no amenities in the motel (no breakfast, no pool or whatsoever), but almost everything is available at a walking distance.
Few noise in this motel (good point given the trains that are always passing almost inside Williams...).
Finally, location is a good solution to visit the Grand Canyon (<1h).

“Truely The Best Route 66 Motel to Stay In. A Step Back in Time. Very Clean.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed in town over the 4th of July. I had read all the reviews of the other places in town and compared rates. After calling a few places, we decided on the Highlander largely in part of the owner's (Fred) personality. He was very down to earth and very accomodating. We were wanting to take the train to the Grand Canyon and he took care of getting the tickets and arrangements and everything was ready for us when we got there. The rooms are very clean and were cleaned each day. It is conveniently located downtown right on Route 66 and is easily walkable to anywhere you want to go and close to a grocery. I can't say enough about this motel. A must stay when visiting Williams. Thanks again Fred!

We stayed at the Highlander Motel on July 18 and 19, 2011. It is a small place, clean, price is right, good location. The owner and his helper are super friendly. I had car trouble and they went out of their way to help me.
