At $40 a night you have to have low expectations, but this place was great! Clean bed, and did NOT smell like smoke which is all I was looking for! There was a fridge and microwave which exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this place to budget travelers. The only things to note are that the air conditioner/heater is above the sink so you have to climb the sink to turn it on. There was not a remote. I am young so that is fine, but if you cannot do this then you will be without temperature control. The coffee maker did not have the little plastic thing in order to brew. There was a coffee maker and coffee, but I could not brew because the plastic that normally holds the coffee was not there. Overall I am extremely happy with my stay, and I would definitely stay again! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a budget hotel.

I love the old route 66 motels. Exceptionally clean and retro. Not for the snobs for sure. But exactly what i was looking for. Thank you for continuing the tradition

The area was very nice and quiet. There is a nice wooden swing under a gazebo that’s lit up in the middle of the parking lot. It’s a nice quiet place to read/listen to music/watch the sunset. Would definitely stay again.

The Rooms are in great condition and Clean. Appear to have been recently updated. We are doing the Route 66 drive and try to stay in "Non-Chain" hotels along that route. This one fits the bill perfectly. Amenities are just as they were when Route 66 first opened. Great Room, Comfortable Bed, Clean - No Free Breakfast just like there was none in days gone bye. Remains on my Stay Again list.

Passing thru
Sleep would have been better if the HVAC had a “constant” fan setting. The heater fan was loud and went off and on so much it was irritating. Other than that, a good, economical place for an overnight stay.

The Reviews are fake
The Motel was nothing like the reviews. It’s old run down and the floor is about to fall in as you walk. The sheet are hard and uncomfortable. We had to call a number so the guy in charge could drive from another hotel to check us in.

Very clean room and a comfortable bed. For the price, it was all I could hope for. A drawback was the motel said they were pet friendly, but the only area my pup could go had a thorny weed growing instead of grass, so when she stepped anywhere she had burrs stuck in her paws that hurt her pretty bad. Staff was very friendly and they even let me check in early.

I really liked this motel
Older retro motel that has been amazingly kept up. I've paid a lot more for modern hotels that were not half as nice. Perfect place to stay on our Rt 66 travels and highly recommend if you need a place to spend the night in Shamrock.

Second time at this location. Both times rooms clean and an excellent price. It is an older inn and expect it not to be all spit and polished. Love the paintings through out the property reflect the Route 66 heritage.
