While the check in person was very polite and the breakfast lady as well, the Property was very old and needs some maintaining. Breakfast was a banana, oj, coffee, not sure if there was something else.

Furniture in room was outdated and in need of some repair. Area was a little sketchy

Bathroom was very clean, towels fresh, and the water pressure was fantastic! I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Did not hear the train but probably because we were so tired.

Although I was not expecting much for a $55 priced room, the property is ancient and what ended up making it such a horrible experience was that it was closely located to train tracks. The train whistles started around 3am and continued until I left at 7am. Unless one is a very sound sleeper I do not recommend.

Bed was very uncomfortable.
Smells musty throughout the entire building.
The staff communication between each other and guest is completely unacceptable. The owners are not from the United States so they do not understand hospitality, honesty within the Manager and the poor little boy at the front desk who wasn’t certain about many things. It was very inconvenient as I was trying to book another night. The manager approved and said I could stay in the same room but the front desk boy had told me that I would have to leave and check in at 3 o’clock. Never in my life have I experience such and demanding me to remove my belongings also they charge me a $10 late fee. I was late because I was sitting there trying to get the man to understand English and comprehend what the manager and I had spoken of and agreed to. I wish this was a better experience but I guess if you’re desperate go for it.

Pretty good

I stayed here twice and had very different check-in experiences based on who was at the front desk. It is a good motel, though. One recommendation I have for the property is to plug in the fridge if you know someone is staying in that room that night; it’s not always convenient to have to wait for the fridge and freezer to cool down before unloading coolers.

1. Although there was a fridge, its door was ajar, and it wasn't plugged in and thus wasn't cold. This turned out to be because there weren't enough electrical outlets. The TV and cable equipment occupied most of the outlets behind the furniture, and the microwave was plugged into the 1 remaining outlet, leaving no outlet for the fridge. I had to unplug the microwave and put the fridge's plug into that outlet in order to use the fridge, which was the more important appliance. They should set up a 6-outlet device behind the furniture so that all appliances can be plugged in at the same time.
2. Something good, which I had never seen before, is that they have a mostly-transparent security wall (which needs a room card to pass through) in front of the row of rooms, such that it is impossible for an outsider to just walk up to a room and try to get into the door or window.
3. On the bad side, the driving area in front of the rooms is not in good condition; it is uneven and torn up, with gravel or tiny rocks all over it, preventing the drive from the entrance to your room and back out to the street from being a smooth drive.
4. On the good side, the manager/clerk was very nice and helpful.

I understood this was an older property but it truly is time for updates to be made. Not just tired but dirty. Place also smelled very strong of curry. Bed was comfortable atleast. Breakfast is a joke. They should just not bother offering it. Check in was friendly but we found their practices dishonest. We had an extra charge on checking out for using a credit card to pay. This was never disclosed to us. Also, this is an Oyo Hotel which was not disclosed. They precharged our credit card when they were not supposed to. Then they were very hard to deal with for answers as to why. If desperate, an overnight stay maybe but would recommend paying more and going else where.

OK rooms, very poor breakfast

I always pick a hotel that has a breakfast for the convenience factor when I can. This hotel had a cute Retro look of the 3 I was considering. Since they all had breakfasts I picked this one.
However, breakfast consisted of a loaf of bread left out in it's package, some cereal and most disturbing, a milk bottle about 1/8 full that was sitting out on the counter with no cooling whatsoever!

Looking at the milk you had NO idea how many days it had been placed out there just growing bacteria in the warmth.
Since there was literally nothing else to eat, We went and paid for breakfast elsewhere. the other two places were chain hotels where we would have received waffles, juices, muffins etc.

When I checked in as soon as I opened the lobby, it stunk really bad like food. Sheets on the bed were minimal no blankets were provided. We were given an adjoining room. However, our door would not lock. The room had an old smell about it. There were not enough outlets to plug your phone, and Apple watches into. When we went for breakfast, we were locked out of our room. Without even saying, we were ready to check out. The continental breakfast was toast, two granola bars, and cereal that was stale. We were right next to a train that went by all hours of the night. The hallways were ice, cold and not heated. Unfortunately, we would not be returning to this location in the future.

A step back in time pit stop

This stop was like a nostalgia trip to stay in a hotel in the era of the old route 66. Whilst clean etc, nearly everything was very dated. Despite this, I actually slept well. We didn’t stay for the inclusive breakfast as this area was not at all inviting.

It’s s shame really. This hotel is located on the old route 66 but also near to the interstate. With some imagination and investment it could be a go to pit stop for road trip tourists.

The hotel is way out on the west end of Old 66, so it's not really walkable to downtown. Not a problem with a car, of course. Railway goes right by, and the trains do sound their horns, so if you're a light sleeper, that's a problem. It's an older facility, weathered on the outside but clean inside. Beds need replacing (they're a bit on the hard outside kind of thing). Really nice folks. Breakfast wasn't worth it, but we always eat out anyway.
