I have stayed here before and really enjoyed it, however, this time was a little bit less magical. Upon arrival, the man at the front desk seemed annoyed that we had arrived, and wasn’t particularly welcoming. Instead of telling us anything about the property or anything like that he simply said “if you wanna know anything there’s a sheet on the bed for you.” I don’t know, I just felt really impersonal compared to last time. The room was pretty plain compared to previous rooms. I’ve stayed in, and the air conditioning did not work very well at all. It was quite hot in the room. The beds were very comfortable though and everything else worked just fine. Dining options in the area are very scarce so make sure that you keep that in mind when booking.

Would definitely stay again!

Amazing. They called to see what time we'd be arriving and gave instructions for check-in. I love that they have kept this Route 66 motel in such great condition. The room was super clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We chose it because of the reviews, and it did not disappoint. We left before office was open, but there was a key drop to make things simple.

Very friendly staff. Easiest check in ever. I liked the welcoming gifts as well. However, it is an older property which plays into their nostalgic Route 66 ambience.

Vintage boutique on route 65

Really cool vintage boutique hotel on Route 66. Great service. We were gonna be late and the staff worked with us to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a dog and they set aside treats and a water bowl prior to our arrival. Just make sure you bring bug spray!!! Overall a good experience.

This motel was a throwback to the 60s on Route 66. The property was well maintained and the 60s theme extended from the lobby to the radio in the room playing music and even cigarette ads as though you were back in time. I didn’t feel the need to light up though.

Stay here! You know you want to!

We were traveling with our dog and they welcomed her as a guest. We arrived after the lobby had closed so they called us and made arrangements so we could get into our room. We walked in and found treats and gifts addressed to our pooch. The room was perfect retro 60's mod. Loved it and will always stay here!

A blast from the past

This was a delightful Motel! The decor was great and it transported me back to my childhood in my parents living room! They did a great job of renovating the place and making that whole 1960's vibe complete. We had our dog with us and they provide a little area for your dog's Comfort necessities. They also have canine treats for your dog. The shower was great! The coffee was great! The bed was comfortable. The towels were a great size. There were even moon pies in the room. I would definitely stay here again.

Great restoration of a classic Sixties motor lodge, and our quartet of Boomers was old enough to vouch for its authenticity! Rooms are small by today's standards, but the beds were comfortable, and the details - classic radio, magazines, snacks - made it even more fun.
