This has to be the worst noise level i have ever experienced in a motel. The sound of semi trucks roaring by all night is unbelievable. The front desk suggested that perhaps the jet engine sounding window ac would cover it up. It doesn't. Would have had a better night sleep behind a dumpster. Made reservation on expedia, where i clearly stated i have a servive dog. Was charged extra at check in

Kitschy and comfortable.

This is one of the "unique" treasures of a road trip. Kitschy decor from the '50's but in a modern way. Loved all the decor. Room was clean and roomy and had very comfortable beds. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. If we are in the vicinity of Atomic Blue on another road trip, we will definitely stay here. The only issue we had was with the key lock. It stuck but once we figured it out, it was not an issue.
