Lighting was just right to see box spring matresses that had dog urine on the corners first thing. Room 222. Lady at the front desk was very helpful and apologetic. We were "upgraded" to a renovated room. The mattresses were better. Didnt see urine stains this time. Room was still old, and the bedspreads were tired and had snags throughout. The heater/air conditioner had a high pitched wine that made it difficult to sleep. Rooms get a 1. Staff gets a 5. Steakhouse was great. We will eat here again, but we will definitely not stay at the hotel. Walk 50 more steps and stay at one of the other hotels. You wont regret it.

For an older Route 66 hotel, it was great. We stayed in the king suite and it was super cute and cozy. Very nice towels, bedding and very quiet considering it was right by the interstate. Loved our stay there.

We wanted to stop and eat at the steak house, so I thought this would be a fun stay. This is a kitschy hotel that they have redone in old west theme. It’s quaint and cute. It was very clean. Parking was easy. Checkin was easy and staff very friendly. It is right on the interstate, so there was a lot of traffic noise all night long. This isn’t a fancy place, but very western cute.
