Get your sleeping fix on Route 66
Very friendly staff. Easiest check in ever. I liked the welcoming gifts as well. However, it is an older property which plays into their nostalgic Route 66 ambience.

Great restoration of a classic Sixties motor lodge, and our quartet of Boomers was old enough to vouch for its authenticity! Rooms are small by today's standards, but the beds were comfortable, and the details - classic radio, magazines, snacks - made it even more fun.

Would definitely stay again!
Amazing. They called to see what time we'd be arriving and gave instructions for check-in. I love that they have kept this Route 66 motel in such great condition. The room was super clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We chose it because of the reviews, and it did not disappoint. We left before office was open, but there was a key drop to make things simple.

Clean, comfortable room. Cool Rte 66 decor. Although I stayed in a pet friendly room, you would never know that dogs had been in the room before. Good nostalgic stop on the Mother Road!

Vintage boutique on route 65
Really cool vintage boutique hotel on Route 66. Great service. We were gonna be late and the staff worked with us to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a dog and they set aside treats and a water bowl prior to our arrival. Just make sure you bring bug spray!!! Overall a good experience.

Stay here! You know you want to!
We were traveling with our dog and they welcomed her as a guest. We arrived after the lobby had closed so they called us and made arrangements so we could get into our room. We walked in and found treats and gifts addressed to our pooch. The room was perfect retro 60's mod. Loved it and will always stay here!
