Awesome Route 66 Gem

We didn't know what to expect at this older hotel on Route 66, but from the friendly greeting from the owner, the nostalgic vibe of everything, it was wonderful. The little extras really set them apart, from a snack bag, to the little yellow duck or hershey kisses. I didn't worry about locking doors, even. Truly like stepping back in time, in such a good way. If you are traveling Route 66, give them a try. You will be glad you did! ❤️

If you are looking for a nice, clean, and old style motel on Route 66, this is your place. The room was great and had a fun mid-century decor. The front desk staff was friendly and beds were super comfortable. There was a nice small courtyard and I would much rather stay in a place like this over the other standard options by the highway.
