Highly Recommend and Hope To Be Back Soon!

Charming nostalgic hotel on old historic Route 66. Very much enjoyed our stay! Our room was clean, fresh, and retro themed. Staff was great, very helpful with info about the area. Beautiful little lake right across the street with a scenic 0.8 mile walk around which was great for our fur babies. Would highly recommend and hope to be back through and stay again soon. Thank you!!!

I love this property and the host are wonderful people. But upon staying this time they had 2 permanent guest in 2 rooms and I was in the middle of those two he was as rude as they get and the other side was smoking right out front it smelt so bad. I don’t stay where there are permanent people who use the rooms as their forever homes.

This was fun, unique hotel. Their decor is intentionally retro. They had a microwave and Keurig-type coffee machine, but they matched the retro decor. It was fun to see.

Very friendly management, quiet location well away from the interstate, retro Route 66 motel vibe. A little heavy on floral scent for those sensitive to odors, but most people wouldn't mind. A fair value for the price vs. quality in that location. If you're looking for that classic highway motel experience, this should satisfy you.

It was more like an at home feel, rather than just a room at a hotel chain. Nice decor. Real coffee mugs.
