This RoadRunner motel was true to its 1950 intended vibe. Thus: no refrigerator or microwave. Safe, though I might look elsewhere next time. I did not see others more promising.

This was our second stay at the Roadrunner Lodge. LOVE THIS PLACE! We brought our four legged baby with this time and I cannot recommend this motel highly enough for a pet friendly stay! The place is spotless and we love the retro design. Highly, highly recommend!

This motel is by far one of the best places i’ve stayed at! Gal in the office was so sweet and helpful! She even checked on us after we got to our room to make sure we were all set! We are traveling with our pup and they left a very nice metal bowl, a cute towel and a complimentary treat for use while we are here! There is a fenced dog area which i love! Very cozy and the theme is spectacular! If i come through the area in the future we will ABSOLUTELY stay here again! Highly recommend to everyone looking for a nice quiet spot!

Charming motel, glad we got to stay there. If you want the old fashioned feeling of a Route 66 Motel, stay here. Music plays in your room with old commercials. They recommended eating dinner at Dell's (which was amazing) and breakfast at Kix on 66, a super cute diner with great food.

Good for pets, tgats about it.

We stayed here because it was dog friendly. The room and establishment are from the old route 66 era. Despite being advertised as retro, and it was, it was also in poor shape. Our room was very small and had nowhere to put luggage or toiletries. The room had a musty smell that triggered our allergies and the bathroom had no fan so you can guess how thay effected the room after use. I made the mistake of booking 3rd party and ended up paying almost 150 for the night. The owner/manager was nice and helpful and making the best out of an old relic of a hotel but we will stay elsewhere next time through.
