This Motel was built in the 50's when Route 66 was a booming road. We enjoyed staying here for the nastalgia. The room was quaint but nice & clean. The bed was very comfortable. We got a great night sleep .

Looks can be deceiving! I did not think I was going to sleep very well as the bed was more firm than I am used to but surprisingly we all slept the best here out of all our stays so far on our journey! The train didn’t bother us at all, the low rumble occasionally was actually relaxing! Ron was very helpful and kind! Would stay again!
