Won’t stay here again

The property is very run down and out dated. The reason for closing this hotel was for the in room jacuzzi which ended up being a large bath tub, the jets didn’t work very well. The chair in the room was broken, missing a wheel, which I didn’t realize until I sat on it. Inside and out the hotel needs attention. When it came time to check out there was no one available at the front desk to speak with regarding the issues in the room or to get my receipt.

The place was fine for a night, but much of the property, furniture and decor is old, tired, torn or in need of a refresh: the heater was loud and woke us throughout the night; the bathroom fan rattled; the bed creaked loudly every time we got up; the bed topper was torn; the bathroom shower head leaked. The most disappointing part of our stay was the unkempt, unorthodox breakfast room and the way the breakfast was offered: a large container of peanut butter and jelly were placed out with a single metal butter knife; a gallon of whole milk sitting in the fridge whether for cereal or coffee. While fine for a family, a communal setting like a hotel needs attention to health standards and safeguards--it left me not wanting to eat. Choices were also limited, including no alternative but whole milk. Ultimately, I was surprised this was billed as a Howard Johnsons.

Updated Old Route 66 Motel

This old Route 66 hotel has been updated, but could still use a bit of work in the bathroom. The tub and shower head need to be replaced. The room was clean and had everything you would need for an overnight stay. The sheets were very stiff, scratchy, and smelled big time of Clorox. At least they were clean! Breakfast was a very limited continental one. The staff was extremely nice and made sure we had every we needed.

The property is on route 66, loved the colorful lighted signs at night including Sandia's. 1- The desk lamp in our rm had a broken shade that met us when we entered the room and sat there for our 3 night stay. 2- I couldn't take a bath due to the tub not having a drain plug. 3- I was sent a text asking if we needed anything to send text mssg back, which I did but never received the blanket or extra towels I asked for. The first 2 nights were quiet, not busy at all, 3rd night exploded. 4- Many drivers mistakenly believe Route 66 is a racetrack. Probably won't stay again if in the area. Worked for us for the business trip we were on.
