Cool restored boutique motel on the old Route 66. Clean and comfy rooms. A little noisy on Central at night but A/C units will drown out the noise. Eateries and bar next to the pool. Would stay there again.

Our room was very clean and really cute. Staff was great too for check in and out. The only downside was there was no elevator for all our heavy luggage so be sure to ask if you can get a room downstairs if needed.
