We enjoy staying in vintage or retro motels and this was great! Manager was so friendly and addressed our requests. In addition, location was within a mile of a brewery that we drove a few hours to experience...which was also retro! We want to support small business and local motels whenever possible. We recommend this one!

The front desk manager was nice. Upon checking in, she said they don’t usually rent out this room. The wall heater did not work so she brought an old ceramic heater to the room. Extension cords running throughout the room. It was a cold night and the portable heater didn’t do much to warm the room. The immediate area was old, not much nearby.

Work in progress

While it’s clear the new owners are working hard to improve the motel, there is still a bit of work to go. I do hope they can make it a go though. The overall rating we saw online was really high so our expectations were far more then what we experienced.

Basic road trip sleepover

The owners are about 4 months into a remodel. Some items not yet completed. Ie bathroom floor and missing closet rod. The staff was exceptionally helpful. We just needed a basic sleepover on a road trip that was pet friendly. This is a very basic and nostalgic Route 66 style motel. The bed was comfy. Room clean.

Staff was great, but property is older and showing it. Thin walls, old furniture and beds. Lots of road and railroad noise, but all hotels on that road would have that issue as well.

Mini Staycation

We took a mini staycation with our neighbor friends to enjoy a night in Grants. The motel was nice and we enjoyed the very friendly customer service by the night clerk. We like that the motel is pretty much in the middle of all the “to dos” in Grants. If we had known that pets were welcome we would have taken our little guy, Bassett Dachshund cross. Next time for sure.

I got to meet the owners of this classic motel. They are working to renovate the property and personally showed me to my room. It was a lovely change of pace from the generic hotel experience.
