    Route 66 meets modern chique and function. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Lots of space to relax and socialize. Rooms are well planned for families up to 8. This gem is right for those wishing to explore Old Town. Lots of history.

    Spacious spacious room with lovely decorating. Would return in a heartbeat! Easy walk to the Biogarden/Aquarium - literal walk. Loved my stay.

    THe community room is awesome! I wish we were informed about it by the staff who told my kids there was NO WHERE to use a microwave.... They also have three bonus private bathrooms with showers next to that room! That would also have been super helpful with all our kids in that bunkroom. CLean rooms, really cool layout, nice clean outdoor pool area. The motel vibe is really nice and the patios for live music are also awesome! The staff probably could've been a little more helpful with information about their own property. With the motel vibe, also comes upstairs neighbors, it's just one other floor, but it makes a difference if you're next to those stairs by the pool. Also, they charge you $50 "a room" for incidentals right up front... If you have one of the family rooms that they sell as one room, they make you pay $100 because it's now "TWO ROOMS"... I suppose for the renovations' sake?? If you needed that to feed your family for the night, keep that in mind. We ended up FINDING the extra room with the microwave in it so my kids could finally heat up the snacks we brought from CA to travel to OK.

    The location of the hotel is off Central. It was clean and in a safe location. I checked in a bit after 9. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable.

    Super cute retro motel that really leans into its Route 66 roots. Our kids loved the outdoor pool. There’s a nice bar in the lobby area. There’s also a separate lounge with a (minimalist) kitchen where we cooked a simple meal. And…a free washer and dryer!

    Location, cleanliness, pool, price & friendly staff. Low water pressure in the shower.
