RICHARD

This is a 1950s vintage motel and proud of it. It does not have the amenities that a more modern hotel has, but the room was clean, the bathroom was clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the bed was comfortable. For a place to spend the night while on a trip, it has all one would need and at a very reasonable price. i would definitely stay here again.

The staff was incredibly kind. The bed was very comfy. It was a great place to stop to get rest. The one gripe I have is no where for your pet to really use the restroom without have to dodge broken glass.

This Motel was built in the 50's when Route 66 was a booming road. We enjoyed staying here for the nastalgia. The room was quaint but nice & clean. The bed was very comfortable. We got a great night sleep .
