Just cruised through Williams Arizona: the retro Route 66!

Just cruised through Williams, Arizona – the retro Route 66 gateway with killer neon vibes and pure vintage charm 🚗💨 The town is small but packs a punch: think classic diners, quirky local shops, and that iconic slice of Americana you see in old-school road trip movies.

Top Spots to Visit on Historic Route 66:

Sleep Easy: Motel 6 Williams AZ Historic Route 66, 530 W Rte 66. Couldn’t ask for a more central spot! Beds are super comfy, and the fridge/microwave setup is clutch if you want to stash snacks or leftovers.

Sweet Treat Alert: Oh Sweetie, 309 W Route 66. This dessert shop is a must-stop for anyone with a sweet tooth—grab a pastry and stroll with it on the main strip!

Thunder Eagle, 221 W Route 66. Don’t miss this shop for Native American jewelry and souvenirs (open 10am–9pm). The local-made finds here are way more unique than generic tourist gifts.

Classic Roadside Eats: Cruisers Cafe 66 channels pure 50’s energy—think burgers, shakes, and Route 66 nostalgia everywhere. For a quick fix, Dairy Queen (603 W Route 66) delivers the comfort of soft-serve and is steps away from the action.

Can’t-miss photo ops: Stroll Williams Route 66 itself—neon signs and murals everywhere, open 24/7 for epic selfies. Pop into Cars of the Mother Road for more vintage car eye-candy.

Williams Tips:
Walk everywhere—most spots are right on the main drag. Pack a jacket, even in summer; the mountain air is crisp at night. Don’t skip the local shops, and hit Thunder Eagle early if you want the best jewelry picks.
