    We would definitely stay here again, regardless. Good value.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Always great!! Clean! I hate that they changed the cars. But hotel is always my favorite!!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Awesome stay! The place is a bit older, but the room was super clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Great spot if you’re travelling Route 66!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very fun place to stay. You can tell the property is older as the room did have a musty smell. Bottom bunk was very uncomfortable. Breakfast area is TINY. But loved the stay in such a historical area. Pool was great.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The shower water temperature was difficult to adjust: hot was too hot, but very slight adjustment with cold went to very cold. Couldn’t get a happy medium temp.

    We loved the retro vibe for our Route 66 trip!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    La piscine est belle et propre La chambre est un peu vieillote avec une odeur forte de détergent... je dirais bien pour une nuit de passage ... Petit déjeuner dans une pièce toute petite avec trop de monde, on a passé notre tour ! Insonorisation bof... On a entendu nos voisins jusqu'à tard. Cela reste une belle étape pour une nuit sur la route 66

    Clean room with decent beds and quiet. Desk staff were very helpful and informative about the property and its history. Great location for Route 66 travelers. Restaurant within easy walk if a larger breakfast is what you want. Safe place along the highway.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    This is an amazing property with such a great Route 66 history. They have done a great job maintaining it. I was sad that there is no hot tub on property, but the pool is well-maintained. Breakfast was just okay, but you can't beat the vibe!

    We chose this hotel based on the "excellent" reviews. Our stay did not fall into that category. We checked in around 9:40 pm and were sent to a normal, double room. Opened the door, beds were unmade and had clearly been slept in. Trash overflowing and musty smell. Loaded everything back up and drove back to the office. Front desk apologized and gave us a new room. It was cleaned and not musty. Then we used the sink. It was a pedestal sink propped on three pieces of wooden board. While using it, the water just drained to the floor, so now we have a small lake on the floor. At this point, it's late and we are not going to load up again for another sub-par room, so we sopped up the lake with one of the 3 towels and used the sink as little as possible. I'm not sure how you clean rooms and not realize the sink drains all over the floor, but it was pretty gross.

    Everything was very nice

    It has a king-size bed plus a bunk-bed! The hotel room was very clean. Front-desk staff was very patient & helpful. Parking is in front of your room. Internet was a little slow for our room (422) and the TV in the main room was TINY. Also, I feel like it would be helpful to have a TV with a sleep timer! Property was clean and the breakfast was good although the breakfast area is small. They replenished the food items until the actual closing of the breakfast serving time which most places just let it run out 30 minutes prior to closing. 4.8 (out of 5 stars) in my opinion.

    We were lucky in getting the Elvis room. We enjoyed the room. The Cadillac couch was awesome. Jacuzzi tub was great. A/C was great. Very quiet right on Route 66. Breakfast good. Bed was great. Might be aware the Elvis picture has blue neon light that is bright that has no switch to turn it off. We enjoyed the whole place! Would stay here again.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    If you’re looking for a genuine Route 66 place to stay it’s great. Lots of old memorabilia and fun to look around the area. No counter space or drawers, very 2 star rooms but I enjoyed our stay,

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    needed to cancel stay because of work and i could not reach anyone to do so . I was charged for the stay. not very happy to say the least. wont use expedia again.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was extra hot. 78°. Took awhile to cool down. The toilet was wet. Unsure if it was urine or cleaner but it was wet. The beds are small. They are full size, not queens. Stay for the nostalgia only.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026
