My husband and I loved the retro room. It was clean, quiet and you have parking spot designated for your room which makes it super easy to carry your bags in to your room as it's right in front of it. The owner is so very kind and even made things right as my husband I messed up on the check in day when we booked ( it was for the next day ) and she took care of it and even gave me a pair of ear plus as I forgot to pack mine. Can't say enough about this motel from 1959... Cute rooms, cute landscape along with a bag with fruit and danish upon check in... A to go breakfast or after dinner snack.... We will be back... Many more times.

Family owned business showed pride in ownership. Staff were very friendly. Room very clean and loved the “little rubber yellow ducks” you saw in office @ check in and in bathroom sitting on tub. I forgot to ask the significance, but a welcoming sight! Would stay here again!

Awesome Route 66 Gem

We didn't know what to expect at this older hotel on Route 66, but from the friendly greeting from the owner, the nostalgic vibe of everything, it was wonderful. The little extras really set them apart, from a snack bag, to the little yellow duck or hershey kisses. I didn't worry about locking doors, even. Truly like stepping back in time, in such a good way. If you are traveling Route 66, give them a try. You will be glad you did! ❤️
