    Great value for money stay on Route 66. Rooms are older but very spacious and clean with comfortable beds. The owner is very friendly and welcoming and hosted a great night for us and the few other travellers who joined us in the on-site bar. Well worth a drive through the town to check out some historic sites!

    Isolated area. An older place so showed signs of age but was adequate. Some broken glass in the parking lot.

    Comfortable bed and shower. TV worked ok.

    This property may have seen better days. But it was still clean and comfortable. The management of this facility was extremely kind person. I would stay there again just because of the way he ran the property.

    Original Route 66 Motor Inn. Quiet and comfortable.

    A bit off the beaten path --with a bit of the "Hotel California" vibe -- I was never concerned for my safety, just "...on a dark desert highway ..." away from town and not very many guests for such a large prop. Would def stay there by myself again.

    Lovely, large, accomodating room. Clean, well prepared, everything in working order. Great price/value. Everything in the room worked, and it was quiet and restful...exactly what I needed as a solo traveller.

    We had a pet which we are grateful to management to allow us to bring it. Maybe a bit steep in extra price for it.

    Friendly management. Was able to give us the room we requested. We had stayed there before. Very quiet as there were not many guests there arriving by car. The room was spacious compared to other places and it was clean. The Inn was in the correct area for our trip.

    the room was very cold and the heating and AC panel was over my head. I finally figured it out but I had to stand on a chair to do it.

    I’m a Rte 66 fan. it was like stepping back to the 1950s. Also Dels Restaurant is not far away.

    Was decent for an overnight stay. It’s an original hotel on Route 66 but, could use a few more upgrades.

    Toiletries weren’t even sample size. Toilet was loose. For the price the amenities could’ve been a little better. No cable. Satellite with about 10 channels. WiFi very spotty.

    Location.

    It was by far the cheapest priced toel in town, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the accommodations, far enough off the road to have little noise good enough furnishings. It was a bargain for the price!! To many times you check into a lower level revamped motel and nothing works everything was fine here
