Located on the original Rt 66, the Tristar Inn is a diamond in the rough, full of nostalgic charm. The owner, Mike, was great & got us checked in quickly. We spent a couple hours in the very well stocked hotel bar (with a pool table) where we enjoyed a few beers & pizza before turning in. Our room was very clean, spacious & comfortable with everything we needed. Fun to think we’re now a part of this cool hotels new history. We’ll be sure to stop again on our next trip through.

It’s so sad to see all these old hotels going out of business along Route 66 I hope and pray this one makes it because it was very clean and affordable and the owner was very nice and accommodating.

This was an older Route 66 motel, but updated rooms and very clean! We liked that it was on Route 66 and not one of the big hotel groups. It was charming and perfect for our needs. The attached bar area looked so inviting, but we were tired from a long day of driving so didn’t actually sit down for a relaxing drink. Owner was so very pleasant and kind. This will be our new go to place when traveling.
