Great Retro Feel
Quick check-in. Room was very retro, but if thats the vibe you want on your Route 66 trip, this place is great. Great price, would stay again!

Without a doubt, if it was not the best, it was definitely close to the best privately & family owned (non-chain motels) that we have stayed.

A nice, quiet place, a bit off the beaten path. I was looking for a place to stay before the eclipse, and here they were, not too far away, not charging ridiculous prices, and well worth the money!

Large, clean, affordable room. While clearly an older facility based on decor and furnishings it did NOT have the tell tale smell of similarly old places. Easy access parking. Would stay again.

This is an older property with older furnishings but I just loved the vibe. Had kind of a retro 1950s throwback feel. Room was very spacious and good value for the money. Really enjoyed my stay.

We stayed her for an event and it was close to town just what we needed. The property is older and could use some updating, but it was clean the bed was comfortable and the rooms a very large. I didn't hear the neighbors or doors closing all night like most chain hotels. We parked right in front of our window and had no issues with anything.

This was a very needed stay, property let me in my room BEFORE check in when they found out I’ve been stranded and needed a place to stay. They had no problem with assisting me my room when I arrived on foot. Easy process & Cheap Stay $

Great old school motel off the beaten path (even for Route 66 travelers) with good service. Definitely not modern in decor, but has solid amenities (refrigerator in our room, laundry) and pretty easy access to dinner options.
