It was noisy, right by a busy raid, metal bed made noise every time you moved throughout the night, an employee pacing around playing music loudly in his phone outside our room, and the breakfast was pretty non-existent.

Loved the nostalgic Route 66 charm and great value! The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, and the room was very clean. The only downsides were a disorganized breakfast setup and some worn common areas like the pool. With a little extra care and upkeep, this could easily be a 5-star stay!
