Friendly service by the owner. The place is very classic and vintage style but very clean and no evidence of bugs. The bed was very comfortable and the owner was very accommodating at the bar, which was a great place to hang out after a long trip. Recommended!

The hotel is quaint, loved the 80's music playing in the bar. The bed was extra firm which is not my favorite, but the room was clean and had decent amenities. Would definitely stay there again anytime.

Cut to the chase, if you are in the area, choose this place. Very, very clean room. On property bar had locals and out of towners (like me), reasonably priced (full) bar and room. And yes, Mike was an actual person and he runs the place, you will read about him in other reviews. Mike is just enough friendly and enough removed to be professional. I hope that I have another opportunity to visit. This is an older Route 66 motel in the best way.
