A nice older motel that has done a wonderful job of embracing their historic Route 66 history. Rooms have been updated nicely. Everything was clean & updated except for the heating and cooling unit, which looked grimy and had that burnt dust smell when turned on the heat. Take them up on the offer of earplugs on the front desk, in order to avoid being awakened by noisy, loud talking guests chatting & smoking outside their room at night. Some people are just so inconsiderate. Lots of variety for breakfast including hot breakfast options.

Everything was ok. Bed was comfy and room was clean. Our only issue was the snow had not been plowed or shoveled. We are in our 60’s and had our dog with us who is also old and it was hard to navigate. Especially walking him to go potty.

Room was nice, and being tucked back in a corner, was quiet for a front row room, close to a main street. The staff was very nice and the coffee was good. Breakfast was good, but the waffle iron needed to be cleaned. I couldn't use it. It was fun staying in a classic Route 66 hotel, with lots of photos from the 'good ole' days'. My only issue was there was no comforter or heavy blanket for the cold nights. I had to turn the heater way up to sleep. Other than that it was fine.

The room was very old, but not in a good way. The bed slumped into the middle. I fought all night to not roll into my husband. The fridge and heater made awful LOUD sounds all night. The room we booked was under maintenance, and this was the room they changed is too. Would never go back. Only saving grace, the staff was kind.
