Karthik Prakash, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is an older motel offering basic services. It was extremely clean. The fixtures are a little worn, but very adequate. breakfast area was clean and supplied with basics including waffles. The staff was friendly. It is all I needed for a sleep,shower and breakfast on my journey It was extremely clean. Some fixtures were somewhat worn.
Barbara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cheap & Cheerful

The pros: Great price and close to Old Town, Downtown, University area and Bio Park. Very clean and the staff was friendly and kind. The cons: Being right on historic Route 66, you get more than your fair share of people with loud cars and bikes revving engines at all hours. This isn't the hotels fault - you'd probably have this problem at any of the old motels on the strip. But if you're a light sleeper, it's something to consider. The fixtures are a bit dated, the AC was pretty loud. The bed was reasonably comfortable. For the price, this is a great spot. I spent 3 nights here and would come back.

Front desk was nice.
Perry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

OK

The room was nice and clean. My only concern was the amount of traffic on a Friday night (more like early Saturday morning) made it very difficult to sleep if at all. Appears to be a popular spot for drag racing at the stop light in front of the motel or at least was for our stay. I'm not a city person so maybe this is normal for the area.

Checking out, could not find anyone, sign to put card in basket on counter. Loud speeding cars durinh night in street in front.
