I had a really pleasant stay at this southwest motel. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made check‑in and the overall experience feel easy and relaxed. Everything was very clean and quiet, so it was easy to unwind at the end of the day. The beds were comfortable and I slept well. One of my favorite parts was the classic neon sign out front—it has a fun retro feel that really adds to the character of the place. I loved my stay and would gladly come back.

The man on staff upon arrival was kind, friendly, and made sure we got settled in! He had tons of local food recommendations, and a few very cute cats in the office. A truly pet-friendly motel- and exceptionally clean to boot! We'll definitely be staying here in the future.

My stay at Southwest Motel was fantastic! The room was clean and the couple managing the property (who checked me in) are super nice, kind, and helpful. It was an added bonus staying in a classic, retro, iconic Historic Route 66 motel! I would definitely recommend staying here.
