Great spot with an excellent staff. Clean rooms, nice amenities like the pool, on site bar and free self-service laundry in the spin room. (Bring your own detergent). Really couldn’t ask for more. Will most certainly stay here again.

Clean room, friendly staff, big and comfortable bed with a ton of pillows (just the way we like it), originally decorated in mid-century modern, daily housekeeping, reception combined with cafe so mornings were well-caffeinated.

Love this remodeled retro motel along old route 66! Rooms are beautiful, stylish, and very clean. Front desk/coffee shop staff very friendly. Wish we could have used the pool but we had to leave too early in the morning to use it. Would definitely stay here again.

Just a few blocks from downtown, and while it's a motel, it's clean, retro decor, and it has some of the most friendly and helpful staff. For the price and the location, it cannot be beat

We stayed here on our way to California, and on our way back. Clean and comfortable. If you want a complimentary breakfast, they do NOT provide one, otherwise it lives up to its ratings.

6/10 Good

The room was very clean. However, it needed some maintenance performed. The towel rack in the bathroom was handing by a "thread". The molly screw had been pulled out. The mirror in the bathroom was also falling down. The second night of our stay, Tuesday, there was a big party with loud music and excessively loud talking and carrying on. The parking is not set up for full size vehicles and there is not enough parking on site. Overflow parking is on the street.
