Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great family owned newly renovated charming motel in historic Route 66 Williams, AZ. Rooms are absolutely fresh and clean. Staff very knowledgeable about the area and welcoming. Walkable to restaurants. Will be back!

We chose this hotel for a one night stay to break up the drive back to Vegas after a trip to the Grand Canyon. Well we definitely chose well. I don’t know why but I didn’t have high expectations for this place but my goodness it delivered. A warm friendly welcome and lots of good advice for nearby eateries. Room was immaculate and appeared to be re entry decorated. Very comfy bed too. A great location in Williams as you can walk to all local places and a great place to stop on Route 66. I would have no hesitation in staying here again. Highly recommend

We were doing a road trip and Williams seem like a good spot to stay overnight. We chose El Rancho Motel because it "seemed" right. Great choice in a quintessential town with Route 66 as it's claim to fame. Very comfortable,clean and made to feel very welcome. Recommended.

Room was spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped and at a very good price. Would recommend. Perfect for an overnight stay within reach of the Grand Canyon, and much cheaper than the towns closer to the park.

Have been holidaying in USA for 2 weeks and so far this is the cleanest motel we have stayed in and best priced. Very comfortable beds, a great stay and close to all amenities. Would recommend and certainly would return. Susan

We stayed at the El Rancho on a trip to Las Vegas. Spent 2 nights and visited the Grand Canyon. This motel has been remodeled and has a very modern style to the rooms. The beds were very comfortable. The man at the desk was very helpful and courteous. It was a very good value. The only downside are the pillows, which were very flat (I would've given 5 stars otherwise.) We will definitely stay again if in the area, we'll just bring an extra pillow or two.

Happy to find a last minute reservation at a reasonable rate on a holiday weekend, we were not sure what we were going to get. The room was very clean and the motel was situated within easy walking distance of just about everywhere we wanted to go in town. We walked to the restaurant, the grocery store, and the shops. The most annoying thing was the egg crate mattress toppers. Though not uncomfortable, I a prefer a memory foam mattress topper.

the staff was great, new furniture and beds, and the room had new carpet which was very nice! We used the barbecue during our stay which was a lot of fun with our friends and family. Direct tv, microwave, mini fridge, wifi, and a microwave where great amenities which they have in all of their rooms there. Walking distance to all of the local restaurants and the local bar which was fun singing karaoke

We stayed here for two nights to take the train into the Grand Canyon. It’s very run down, but so is Williams and that is part of its charm. The most important thing for us is cleanliness and this was spotlessly clean. The owners are friendly and helpful, and it’s very quiet, but the only complaint is that the bed is far too hard that is why I have given it four stars.
