Without a doubt, if it was not the best, it was definitely close to the best privately & family owned (non-chain motels) that we have stayed.

This is an older property with older furnishings but I just loved the vibe. Had kind of a retro 1950s throwback feel. Room was very spacious and good value for the money. Really enjoyed my stay.

Great old school motel off the beaten path (even for Route 66 travelers) with good service. Definitely not modern in decor, but has solid amenities (refrigerator in our room, laundry) and pretty easy access to dinner options.

Large, clean, affordable room. While clearly an older facility based on decor and furnishings it did NOT have the tell tale smell of similarly old places. Easy access parking. Would stay again.

Great Stay!

We had a great stay! Came to town for a late concert and decided to stay for the evening then drive home the following morning. We checked in at almost midnight and the gentleman was still in the office to greet us. Our room was quaint but exactly as the pictures showed. Very clean and we slept well. Would highly recommend staying here.

Old but clean

The people who operate the motel were super nice. They respond quickly. They are more than willing to help. The motel is dated but quiet and comfortable. The problem was with the bathroom. The toilet was right beside the wall. The tub was slippery. My husband fell. Dangerous for us as an older couple. Otherwise a nice stay.

Wonderful!!!

Absolutely wonderful! I knew it was an older hotel and I think the picture represent the establishment well. The lady who checked me in was so nice and explained everything, had the heat on and waiting for us! We only stayed one night, in town for softball. Everything was really clean! We stay in hotels close to every weekend the majority of the year. This was more clean than most of the big name hotels we’ve been to the last couple years. Very pleased! Will return if ever in the area again!!!

Troy

Disliked: Amenities
The place felt safe, well lit, everything worked as it should. Staff were pleasant but did speak to them that much. AC was very loud, kept kicking off and on a lot, like it could not keep up. Room looked like it was from the 70 with just a little Route 66 decor. Had a rocking chair, I liked. Had a stuff chair with bright red cover over it. Bathtub faucet pipe was sticking out away from the wall 4 inches, like you could see four inches of pipe. No usb ports in room and if you hit the lights the outlets around the bed shut off so you can use them for charges. Had an ice machine and coffe in the lobby which I liked. The entire property needs updated. But with all that said, not a bad place to stay for low cost. It might have been out of date, dog scratches on the door, but it was clean.
