What happened on the show
The third property in Melchiorri's Route 66 RV episode was the Canyon Motel and RV Park in Williams, a 13-acre spread combining motel rooms, cabins and an RV park, including quirky lodging built into vintage rail cars. A property running lodging and a campground together has more to manage and more ways to slip, and the show's compressed three-stop format meant a fast diagnosis of what most needed fixing. Anthony worked the rooms, the cabins and the RV operation on Rodeo Road, nudging the family to run the combined property with discipline and to sell the Route 66 and Grand Canyon Railway proximity that gave it its draw. The advice fit the through line the show returned to for a multi-part roadside property: get the fundamentals consistent across every kind of lodging on the lot, so a traveler on the mother road gets the same reliable experience whether they book a room, a cabin or an RV site.
After the cameras left
The Canyon Motel and RV Park is very much open in Williams. As of our 2026 verification a direct check of the official site shows current hours marked open, active contact information and the full 13-acre operation of motel rooms, cabins and RV sites at 1900 East Rodeo Road. The combined roadside property the show worked on is still serving Route 66 and Grand Canyon travelers a decade on. Confirmed operating as of 2026.
