Great price for a clean and comfortable place to stay. Microwave and fridge in the room (there were even two water bottles left for us). Good breakfast (deluxe continental). Beds are firm. Easy to unpack from car simce sliding glass door to room is right next to parking spot. Lots of fast food and restaurants within walking distance. Counter in bathroom unusually low but that's not a big deal.

Can’t beat the price

Great pit stop to just sleep, shower, have a quick breakfast and get back on the road. The price was awesome for just a nights stay and the free breakfast was perfect to eat before heading on the road. We would definitely stay there again on a road trip

This property is obviously old, but has been well maintained and renovated. It has retained its old Route 66 charm! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The outside area is completely fenced and we walked our dog safely.

Bags under my eyes

Pros- room was clean, breakfast was good, bathroom was clean. Front desk friendly. Cons-TV didn’t work, blow dryer didn’t work, beds were very old and very squeaky, uncomfortable, pillows were lumpy. Neighborhood was sketchy. Property was unkept.

Stayed March 8, 2025

The room was nice, still needs some color updating, but nice. TV didn't work, but not a big deal. Bed was literally perfect for back or side sleepers. Not too soft or hard. Breakfast was typical, eggs, sausage, muffins, cereal, etc and the dining area was clean. Train horn went off around 8:30 pm, but that's the only horn we heard. Aside from some loud people at odd hours, the hotel was pretty great.

Overnight

This was an overnight stay while traveling. It is an older hotel but the room was clean and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was available. If we had a complaint there were plumbing noises coming from other rooms. This was certainly a reasonable hotel for a short term visit
