Overall I would stay here again, it is nothing fancy but for the price it is worth it. It’s “clean” could use some detailing but overall satisfactory

I loved The Atomic Blue Motor Inn. I have driven Route 66 from Chicago to LA and found this property to be reminiscent of many of the retro properties we stayed at on that trip, and more well-done in the remodeling than many of those. The retro phone and tissue box were nice touches, and we slept very well. The only thing I missed was a full-length mirror. But that detracted only minimally from the overall great experience. I definitely look forward to staying here again.

Friendly, clean, cheap, and cool!

Friendly staff at both check-in and check-out, great recommendations for local eats, a clean and comfortable room, all at a great price. This was just a quick sleepover after a long drive and before week of outdoors on wilderness adventures, so it was perfect for us. Love the logo and theme; y'all should sell teeshirts and such.

I just stayed here for the second time and plan to stay here every time I pass through Monticello needing a room for the night. The staff is friendly, the rooms are spotless and have been restored and maintained with pride of ownership. There are good restaurants within walking distance. There are also snacks and drinks available in a little cafe/store on the premises. I feel safe and comfortable here.

Fun vibe that keeps the motor inn alive

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Room was clean and their way of keeping the vibe of a motor inn from days of old alive was really fun. You can't beat the price! This is a great stop for a road trip.

We loved the 50's vibe. The room was clean, nicely decorated in a retro style, and the updates were very well done. Pretty much no frills, but the rate was good, and the office staff was very nice.
