Fun Environment

What a fun hotel! We loved the speakeasy to end our day. Room was clean and comfortable. The area was pretty sketching - not a great part of town, but we did feel safe on the property.

Disliked: Staff & service
When we arrived the customer service was much below par - was interesting watching (who I would assume) was the manager giving her new employee a walk through of how to check customers in, which certainly wouldn’t be an issue if she wasn’t rude to him right in front of us. The room also smelled weird. Just an overall below average but not terrible experience.

Living Colorfully on Route 66

This is my 2nd time staying at Zazz and 3rd time hitting the c speak- easy (fun little bar). It's an older motel on Route 66 that has been completely redesigned with fab and funky art! The beds are very comfortable, the pool and pool area are a welcome respite. The hotel is coloful and the story behind it is great.
The hidden station. Music comes on as you enter.
Fun spaces like this everywhere.

Not my vibe.

I cannot really give details because I didn't stay due to guest smoking right outside my room. This isn't my vibe, but could be fun for someone who likes it. Just not my style at all. I wouldn't recommend, but staff is professional and courteous.

Great Place to Stay

Comfortable bed, clean, modern room, fun, colorful, and zany decor, cool AC. Quiet, also, even though the hotel was full. Coffee in the room, nice robes that feel cozy. The “Hydration Room” has ready made bags of ice for your room as well as a water refill station. Everything was contactless, accessed by various codes. Parking seemed secure but was an extra $12. Didn’t use the pool, but it looked nice. It was great to go to the speakeasy for a late cocktail. Breakfast with a mimosa right across the street at The Farmacy.
