Clean room, with some really great amenities! The fire pit was really nice to sit out at in the evening. Great little dog run area. Also the small touches like the 60s radio was great.

Our check in was excellent even after reserving our room just 5 minutes prior to arriving! David at the front desk was just a great guy and directed us to a great restaurant. Del’s on Route 66 is a great eatery!

I have stayed here before and really enjoyed it, however, this time was a little bit less magical. Upon arrival, the man at the front desk seemed annoyed that we had arrived, and wasn’t particularly welcoming. Instead of telling us anything about the property or anything like that he simply said “if you wanna know anything there’s a sheet on the bed for you.” I don’t know, I just felt really impersonal compared to last time. The room was pretty plain compared to previous rooms. I’ve stayed in, and the air conditioning did not work very well at all. It was quite hot in the room. The beds were very comfortable though and everything else worked just fine. Dining options in the area are very scarce so make sure that you keep that in mind when booking.

Would definitely stay again!

Amazing. They called to see what time we'd be arriving and gave instructions for check-in. I love that they have kept this Route 66 motel in such great condition. The room was super clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We chose it because of the reviews, and it did not disappoint. We left before office was open, but there was a key drop to make things simple.

Very friendly staff. Easiest check in ever. I liked the welcoming gifts as well. However, it is an older property which plays into their nostalgic Route 66 ambience.
