The room was very small, but decent & clean, I checked for bugs and didn’t see any. The place looks like a former roach no-tell Motel, that the new owners have cleaned up. If you plan on spending much time at the hotel you might be more comfortable elsewhere, but if you just need a clean place to sleep it will do.

This place is an unknown gem! It's not fancy but very comfortable. The bed/pillows were soft like I need them to be. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be staying here again and again as I travel.

It's not "The Plaza" but it is not supposed to be. I think it was a great value as it was clean and everything was fine.

My husband and I were traveling Route 66 and decided to stay here. It's an original motel on the route. It brought back memories of my childhood. I would stay here again!
