Updated rooms and friendly owners / staff. Location could be better – lots of folks roaming the sidewalks – but the owners have gone to great lengths to make sure that the property itself feels safe, with multiple security cameras and a well-lit parking lot. Rooms are well-insulated from road noise, A/C is fantastic, and make-your-own waffles for breakfast were a nice touch.

Hotel was clean and okay for a one night stay.
The stay was okay. The breakfast could have been better. The only hot food was the self made waffles.

Nice people but hotel is right on main street. Cars racing around all night keep waking us up. Room was the biggest of all places I stayed on a week-long trip and had the best breakfast too. Pool was indoors & very small....occupied by kids so didn't want to get in.

Nice Enough Motel
This place is nice for a roadside motel. It seems that the interior has been updated. Nice staff, everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. I don't know about the neighborhood but I didn't walk anywhere. It's basic but fine.

The room was spacious and clean. It’s right off Route 66, so there’s a bit of road noise and some rough looking people about although no one bothered us. The staff was friendly and helpful.
