This freshly retrofit, nostalgically Route 66 motel is super cute, with an amazing staff and great atmosphere! It does not hurt that the lobby turns into an event venue with live music and a free drink for patrons. They couldn't be more welcoming, accommodating or fun. Ignore older reviews, this place has a new retro look and the nicest staff possible!
