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!

Cool retro Route 66 vibe, but with modern amenities. It looked like it had been remodeled recently and was super clean. It also had a lounge that stays open until 10pm. The lounge serves alcoholic beverages that are produced either locally, or in the state. We really enjoyed our stay.
