Ah, a throwback to simpler, nicer times. This hotel is one of those places that was no doubt abuzz with activity back in the Route 66 heydays. Now it's unfortunately bypassed and pretty quiet, much like the Route is.
That said, it's a gem amongst stones. The room was spacious, quiet, and comfortable. The owners were friendly and welcoming.
Yes, the decor wasn't up-to-the-minute and there was some wear showing on the building. But, it was very clean and everything worked fine. I made an extra effort to also stay here a second time on my return trip.
Why stay in an ugly utilitarian box chain motel down the road for more money? Just stay here and support local businesses and families. This is a nicer hotel, has a nice local owner, and is a bargain compared to the corporate boxes. You won't regret it. Cheers!
