Everything about the property was great. The hotel has been upgraded and the rooms are exceptional. I absolutely loved the decor and cozy feel. The bed was the most comfortable on our whole vacation and we wished we had stayed longer. Bar service and the woman who checked us in was fabulous! It was the perfect little Route 66 stay for us.

Brandy United States of America

Staff worked to accommodate us for an additional night when our flight was canceled. The outside seating areas were great for hanging out.

Virginia United States of America

Unique property in a great area to explore. The room itself was okay. Not terrible, not Great.

Rebecca United States of America

Loved that there is a lounge as the check-in area, but it is only open if the lounge is open. You can order drinks (it's a bar) with a neo-swanky vibe, chill out on the patio. Area is def a tourist area, the decor of the motel is updated and clean , owners/staff are nice , bedding COMFY

Amanda United States of America

I absolutely loved the updated yet retro feel of this property. The bed was extremely comfortable. I will stay here again.

Brandon United States of America

The remodel of the property was amazing! It was a touch of nostalgia with a European flare. Love the bar/check-in area. Lots of private outdoor seating. Within walking distance to lots of attractions. Staff was extremely friendly. Shawndee was delightful. Most comfortable bed of the entire trip.
