Impeccably remodeled and very clean! Parking lot is lit and has a security patrol. Espresso shop at check-in office with friendly staff. Very comfortable beds. Incredibly cute spot on historic Rte 66.

What a gem of a property! My room was charming and spotless. Pleasant lighting, lovely towels and amenities. There is a little gym with a bottle filler, ice maker, and complimentary laundry facilities on the property. All the conveniences. The only downside is the surrounding area. It’s relatively quiet with limited food options within walking distance. I ventured out for a walk and it was dodgy. I was advised by the pub staff to Uber back to the motel. Would recommend driving to restaurants for meals.

Very cute, colorful, immaculate, recently renovated rooms. Friendly staff. The café across the driveway was great with hip little food truck style booths and a bar.

Not a bad location but sketchy after dark. No elevator so if you are on the second floor be prepared to carry your stuff up two flights of stairs. Friendly staff. Bed was comfortable.

The room was recently renovated and was beautifully done. The staff were friendly and helpful. The parking area was limited, probably requiring some on street parking.
