Consistently Excellent
Smart, friendly staff & management.
An awesome authentic midcentury facility that is spotlessly clean. The rooms are true MC but the mattresses are comfortable.
Ive now stayed here 6-7 times and its consistently excellent. One of my favorite Route 66 motels.

Great value, great people
This is an excellent and charming little hotel, and a great value. Tucked away on the historic Route 66, has a lot of history. Very comfortable, nice folks at the front desk.

Passing thru
The room was small but clean and adequate for a night's sleep. Front desk clerk was very nice. The bed was not comfy for my husband and I. The biggest drawback is that our bathroom had no heat at all. It was too cold to shower in there.

Nostalgic pet friendly motel on Route 66!
This is a nice older motel on Route 66, the staff is excellent and the rooms are very clean. There is a great pet area outdoors for your fur babies. I would recommend this Sunset Motel to anyone looking for a place to stay.

Small hotel with very friendly staff. They don’t have a full breakfast but the pastries they gave us were better than a standard continental breakfast anyways. I’d stay here again.

Cute, cute property! There is a small courtyard where we enjoyed breakfast. The rooms were musty but clean. My family booked 3 rooms and it was a great meeting area for us all. We loved the sack "breakfast". We would definitely recommend
