The room we stayed in had what looked like coffee spilled on the bathroom door and bathroom counter and never cleaned up, and the chair provided to us in the room was filthy and stained beyond repair. Room also had a musty smell to it. Staff were amazing and super helpful!

We chose this hotel based on reviews and the whole route 66 experience. Although the decor thruout the lobby and interior was route 66, the room was not route 66 themed. The room we received was very basic. The ceilings in the main room and bathroom were dirty, there were a couple of broken items, holes in the wall. However, the bed was clean and comfortable so if you are just looking for a place to lay your head then may be ok. As indicated by others the pool was not open. We did book thru Expedia and it seems the room pictures, description and amenities may be misleading because we definitely did not get the room we selected and the staff indicated there were no rooms that matched the description, even though we paid for an upgrade, but we will address this with Expedia. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this place as there are nicer hotels for the same money. We did not eat at the restaurant so cannot comment on that, but were informed they no longer serve breakfast.

The building is just tired. Everything works, it was clean, and the staff was very friendly. the problem is the building itself. They lean in on the "Route 66" theme, but that doesn't mean the room should look like they haven't been redone since the glory days of the Mother Road. I still gave it three stars because, again, people were nice, and the place was clean, but definitely not a high-level stay.

To be honest, this hotel has some character to it, which was nice. The staff was nice and courteous, and tolerant of a traveler who was very tired, and just wanted things to be easy. When I arrive at 10:00 PM, there was literally no restaurants open except for Domino’s Pizza, who wanted to charge me $40 for a large pizza, and deliver it two hours later. In a room that had a jet tub, there were only two towels… The entire room was tile, and there was no TV in the bedroom. I liked the hotel, and the motif of route 66, and if I was in a better mood, I would’ve had a good time there. So part of this problem with me, and part of the problem with the actual property. I would actually stay there again!

We stayed one night at Route 66 Hotel. It wasn't the Four Seasons by any means, but for less than $80 on Valentine's Day, it was really good. Our room was clean, but did smell sort of like curry, but my wife and I love curry, so there's that. We ate at the restaurant onsite, and was pretty good. They were understaffed, so we had a wait. But it was worth waiting for. Overall, decent hotel for the money. We would stay there again.
