    The motel had a great retro vibe with its neon lights and classic furnishings. It really felt like stepping back in time. The owners were friendly and gave us a lot of helpful information about the area. The motel also had convenient facilities like a washer, dryer, and refrigerator.

    The check-in experience was not pleasant. The owner seemed annoyed that we arrived a little early and made it clear that we were inconveniencing him.

    The owners, ambiance, cleanliness, and retro charm were outstanding. The rooms were comfortable and had a working rotary dial phone. The motel had a garage for every room, and the friendly owners provided helpful advice and brewed coffee in the lobby. The music from the 40's and 50's added to the delightful atmosphere.

    Nothing, it is perfect.

    The motel had a great vintage vibe, with authentic mid-century decor and even garages with rooms. The neon sign was a standout feature, adding to the Route 66 experience. The owner was extremely welcoming and provided helpful recommendations for local restaurants. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the rooms were spotlessly clean. It was also a bonus to have extra outlets for charging our devices.

    The check-out time of 10AM was a bit early and unexpected. It would have been more convenient if it was at the standard 11AM like most other hotels.

    I had the most amazing stay at a nostalgic gem on Route 66. The motel transported me back in time with its preserved mid-century treasures and cozy, comfortable rooms. The warm and welcoming owners made me feel like part of their family, and I had a fascinating chat about the motel's history. Despite a spotty Wi-Fi connection, it was a perfect stay. I highly recommend this unique peek into the past!
