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.
