Celilo Inn

A no-frills bed on the Route 66 strip in Williams

Williams, AZ

About

Celilo Inn is a small, owner-operated motel planted right on Route 66 in downtown Williams, the kind of stay where you park once and walk to dinner, the shops, and the neon signs the town is known for. It's not a polished chain property — it's an older building with a lot of miles on it — but the location on the main strip is hard to beat if you want to be in the middle of things.

What to expect

Rooms come with the basics covered: two queen beds in most rooms, a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Reviewers consistently point to the front-desk staff as a highlight, and several call out the price as a good value for a room this close to Williams' downtown strip. It's a popular stopover for road-trippers and motorcyclists passing through on Route 66.

That said, the age of the property shows. Recent reviews flag inconsistent housekeeping and, in at least one case, a multi-day plumbing outage that left a guest without running water — worth knowing going in. With a 3.8 rating from 129 Google reviews, experiences here run a wide range, so it's best suited to travelers who want a cheap, walkable, no-frills base rather than a resort stay.

  • Location: 134 E Route 66, Williams — walking distance to downtown dining and shops
  • Nearby: about a 5-minute drive to Bearizona; roughly an hour from the Grand Canyon South Rim

The lady who efficiently runs the very quiet and clean comfortable little place is so very sweet, yet she stands her ground if needed. It's right near everything downtown Williams Az and I absolutely recommend as I've stopped in a number of times. Keep it simple. Love 💕 it!

It was a cute older place, but really disappointed. It was convenient as it was right in downtown to walk the street and go to all the stores close by. Everything else though wasn't worth it. It was definitely older, which isn't bad but not quite maintained. The bathroom mirror had like blacked out privacy film taped from the outside that was obviously peeling off/been torn off. So it felt like people could still see in (did not walk around the back to confirm). I went to take a shower and they had not informed us when checking in that the plumbing would be getting worked on. So the water was completely shut off. I couldn't wash my hands or shower. The water turned back on a few hours later and was very spotty about actually running. Later that night, tried to shower again, and still no water. In the morning I attempted to brush my teeth and wash my hands, again no water. I had to get a jug of water from my car for basic hygiene. It turned on for a few minutes when my boyfriend went to brush his teeth but that was it. They stated they wouldn't give me a refund and my credit card I used won't refund me because they go by what the hotel says. Extremely disappointed and it's definitely not ok to not have consistently running water. We weren't informed of the water being shut off at check in, and it never consistently came back on even after the plumbers left. It would trickle for a few seconds, maybe minutes. And most of the time not even turn on.
