Passing thru

The room was small but clean and adequate for a night's sleep. Front desk clerk was very nice. The bed was not comfy for my husband and I. The biggest drawback is that our bathroom had no heat at all. It was too cold to shower in there.

Consistently Excellent

Smart, friendly staff & management. An awesome authentic midcentury facility that is spotlessly clean. The rooms are true MC but the mattresses are comfortable. Ive now stayed here 6-7 times and its consistently excellent. One of my favorite Route 66 motels.
