I had a fantastic stay at this charming and cozy motel. The room was very clean, and everything felt fresh and well-maintained. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. One of the best parts was the location. It's right next to a buffet restaurant and within easy walking distance of our favorite Mexican restaurant, so grabbing dinner or breakfast was super convenient. The atmosphere around the motel was quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxing after a long day. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I’d definitely stay here again!

Rooms were clean and didn’t smell bad, like you sometimes get with older motels. Beds weren’t super comfortable but weren’t awful either. It’s an older building in an older town so don’t go in with high expectations. I will definitely stay here again if needed. Price was spot on. My only complaint is that the train across the street runs quite often, all night.

This little motel was the perfect stop on our trip! The owner is the nicest gentleman, and he was very accommodating. We got a pet friendly room, with ample space. This is a classic Route 66 hotel, not the Holiday Inn! A classic motel with modern features (roku tv and super nice beds)! The best part? A movie was filmed here! How cool.

Check in was etraordinarily good. The staff was extremely friendly, giving us cold bottled water that he offered. With the fan on in the room, we did not hear the train just across the highway unless we were already awake. The bed was very comfortable and had very nice bedding. The parking lot was small, but there was additional parking in an adjacent lot.

The front desk was very nice. Room was clean. Feel like they are trying to improve the motel because I saw some new fixtures, etc. So, an A for effort, but a D for delivery. Roku TV was worthless. Internet was worthless. Could not adjust water in shower- Only hot water - ouch! Deadbolt lock would not engage. No safety chain. Area does seems safe however. If you like freight train rumbling noises at night (which I do), you will hear it all night long. Mattress was a bit hard.

The room smelled fresh and clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. One problem was that they were platform beds and the mattresses did not fully cover them so the corners stuck out further than the end of the mattresses and was a shin killer. There is a train track just across the street so it was noisy all night.

Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The building is dated, but the bed and the recliner and the desk chair were all new, and everything was very clean. My only complaint is that there were not enough outlets for all of my electronics.

Everything was simply wonderful — from the friendly front desk staff to the cozy comfort of my room. The space was spotless and well-maintained, and the bed was honestly one of the most comfortable I've ever slept on! Having a mini-fridge and microwave in the room made things so convenient and added a thoughtful touch to my stay. I couldn’t be happier with my experience!

I had such a lovely stay at this beautiful property, nestled against a wonderful mountain backdrop. The room was very clean and smelled wonderfully fresh, and the bed was comfortable, just perfect for a restful night. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and at ease throughout my stay. The entire property is in excellent condition, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful.
