The room showed signs some sort of bug treatment on the floor and then we saw a cockroach. The sheets had stains on them. Under the beds looked like it had never been cleaned. We couldn't even stay the night.

Not Worth the Cheaper Price

Rooms are only accessible from the outside. Problem is that there are families or seemingly permanent residents that sit outside with their doors open and smoke and talk while kids run around the parked cars. The room itself smelled musty. One of The locks on the interior of the door to the room had been forced off from the outside, like the door had been kicked in, and although a new latch type lock had been replaced, the circular holes wherr the lock had been forced out were still there which reminded me to pull some of the furniture in front of the door. There was a spider with a big round abdomen on the desk table to greet us. The bathroom while clean, had spiderwebs in the corner, approximately two by 3 inch holes in the wall where the shower curtain rod had been pulled out of the wall and reattached in another spot on the wall leaving the previous hole wide open. There was no cover over the roof light fixture in the bathroom, it was filled with spider webs, and one of the light bulbs was burnt out. Stayed for 2 nights, and the one day they”cleaned” the room they didn’t straighten the bed out much, just half ass pulled up the lose blankets and piled the pillows up.Maybe the owners are new as it got decent reviews and the pool looked good, but they kept the lobby almost completely dark, other than that, it was very nice.

A nice friendly value stay on Route 66 with food and winery / brewery minutes away. Great staff, check in was fast and friendly, room was more than adequate for the price, and breakfast and pool were nice additions. Convenient parking. Would stay again.

All the pictures showed suits. So, be careful what you buy. We ended up staying in the inn and not suits. Bed and bedding seemed worn out. Pool was freezing cold. Breakfast was really good and check-in and out was very easy and very quick.

DISGUSTING POOL!!

My husband and I were looking for a hotel with a pool and the photos online showed a nice pool. I even called to make sure their pool was open and I was told it was. My husband and I got there and the pool is unswimable! It has green slime everywhere, it was disgusting! I tried to get a refund, but Rocky, the front desk worker, was not only rude but refused to give us a refund. The breakfast didn’t look good, thankfully there was a McDonalds close by. I will say the room was clean.

From the outside, it looks way worse than it is.

We were traveling through and I picked this hotel/inn because the reviews were good. But, when you first pull up, you might be scared off by the outside appearance and the pipeline workers or whatever they are hanging around and apparently stay here for a week when in the area. But, once you get inside, and get past that, you find a ean and well managed hotel and these workers are great guys. Don't be scared off by this older hotel and the no-name brand, these non-corporate owners take good care of it. The staff is great and the rooms are clean. The breakfast is mediocre (at best) but there is a McDonalds next door if needed.
