Loved the nostalgic Route 66 charm and great value! The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, and the room was very clean. The only downsides were a disorganized breakfast setup and some worn common areas like the pool. With a little extra care and upkeep, this could easily be a 5-star stay!

The room was generally clean. The bathroom needed a deeper cleaning and the toilet seat was loose. Staff was couteous but there was a general feeling of uneasiness during our stay because of the sirens and police loudspeaker warnings.

Needs a Bit of Work.

Nice overall but has some issues. The hot/cold on the sink was reversed and the shower curtain was tub-length even though it was a step in shower so water on the floor. Breakfast was meager. Next to a fairly busy street, so some street noise. The owner/manager was super friendly and accommodating.

This motel is a budget motel and as such is great. It was old, but on Rt 66 so that is expected. The rooms were nice though. Large & clean. It had everything we needed. The staff seemed nice as well. My only complaint was the road noise on Route 66 Bring earplugs.

Updated rooms and friendly owners / staff. Location could be better – lots of folks roaming the sidewalks – but the owners have gone to great lengths to make sure that the property itself feels safe, with multiple security cameras and a well-lit parking lot. Rooms are well-insulated from road noise, A/C is fantastic, and make-your-own waffles for breakfast were a nice touch.
