Don’t let your first impression skew the review! This is a cute older hotel with rooms that have been updated with different themes. It was clean and comfortable, and for the price a good safe place to lay your head for the night.

Yes, the parking lot is a bit beat up, yes there is a train track 100 yards away that runs throughout the night, but welcome to Holbrook.

This is a no frills place, you get what you pay for. I would stay here again if I was passing through for the night.

There were some problems with the room, but staff was quick to resolve. The coffee had leftover coffee and the bath towels were very old and one had a hole in it. Both were replaced quickly. The bed was not the most comfortable although it was large. Plenty of water pressure and hot water. Parking was right in front of room so covenient. Not ideal for large trucks as it is narrow.

Room wasn't bad, and the price was great! Staff was very nice and very helpful. Parking was a bit rough. It is side slotted, and the parking is extremely tight between the 2 buildings. It is one way in, one way out, no backing in. If a lot of large trucks are parked, such as was my experience, the narrow driveway behind them becomes a situation where you have to reverse out into the road where you pulled in from. I have a tiny car. So there's that.

Check-in was just fine- no issues - very polite young man.
The train noise was no big deal for us.
The only real issue we have is that within minutes of putting our dog's feeding bowl down on the floor it was overtaken by ants - a ton of ants!
If you're traveling without a pet, this property is just fine but when traveling with a pet it's not a good idea.

I have to say, I was really disappointed with this property. I was trying to go outside of the big hotel chains, and in the photos, Brad's looked really cute. But the exterior is shabby (asphalt falling apart, the whole thing needs to be repainted, overflowing trash cans visible, etc). And the interior looks cute but is not in great shape. (The shower has a major drip that went all night.). The internet was really slow. And there is a major and very busy train line right behind the property, which didn't really bother me but might bother some people. Other reviewers said there was breakfast here with a cute little breakfast room; on my visit, though, no breakfast room, no breakfast. So not sure what was going on with that. I think this place could be really cute, but its not there yet, and as a solo woman traveler, I wasn't super comfortable with it.

I stayed at Brad’s Desert Inn for one night and it was a lovely experience. The property has that classic Route 66 charm but everything felt well cared for and maintained. We didn’t get a chance to meet the staff since it was a no contact check-in, but the instructions we received were easy to follow.
Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The location is great as well, with easy access to restaurants, gas stations and cafes.
I’d happily stay here again!

Brad's is a vintage Route 66 type drive in motor hotel. It has been refurbished with some very nice interior work (I had a rustic wood cabin wall as my headboard). Staff and management were extremely personable and I enjoyed interacting with them as much as I did staying in this old school motel.

The motel is directly attached to a freight train track frequented by screaming train whistle full speed passings many times an hour and through the night. Do not stay here if that is disturbing to you. It sure ruined our stay. The rooms are clean and cute but ridiculously tiny and slipshod. In front is a busy two lane highway frequented by trucks and macho motorcycles too, as if the train wasn’t enough.

Route 66 plus A LOT of Trains

Brad's Desert Inn is what I imagine to be the most authentic of the Route 66 motels from the heyday of auto travel. The motel is adorned with old signage and decor which makes for a little added fun. The room was cozy, bed comfortable and the price was affordable. However... if you are a light sleeper, this is NOT the place for you. You are literally a block away from a very active railroad and you can expect to hear horns all hours of the night which didn't bother me but made for a restless night for my wife. Other than than, all good vibes!

I wish I could give this hotel a decent review.

If I could give this place a negative rating I would. It is a s—thole. i was under the impression from previous reviews that it was quaint and reminiscent of a vintage Route 66 motel.

It was dilapidated and unsafe. The door has a 1/4 inch gap on the bottom and a 1 inch hole (that would clearly allow rodents to enter the room). It was drafty, cold and the AC/Heat unit cycled on and off all night.

The bed was fairly comfortable. Pillows terrible. The train goes by at least twice an hour and the tracks are 50 feet away.

The hot water from the sink was dark rust in color when first turned on which caused me to question wherther it was sanitary.

First of all, the property is very clean. The staff is nice helpful. The price is reasonable. The area is next to the train tracks, this seems to be the norm for most Northern Arizona towns! Not a big deal to me, but might be for some. The AC/Heat is a window unit and it did a remarkably good job. The area around the bed was comfortable as well.

Pretty disappointing stay. Turned up right on 3pm to find the office closed and no one about, so I just wandered around until the clerk showed up with his little dog who wouldn't stop barking at me (and even tried to nip me). The carpark needs to be completely resurfaced with the parks redrawn - they're all over the place. The room was fine but felt small & cluttered, and the floor was badly warped. The train was loud, but nowhere near as bad as Mountain Home ID, so at least I could sleep. Best thing about the place was the classic Dr Who channel.

If you are looking for luxury this is not the place. But if you are passing through and just need a place to lay your head and grab a shower in the morning before you take off this place will do. This place is very old but it functions. It looked clean, bed was comfortable. Microwave, fridge were new-ish. AC and the shower worked - (water was hot, good pressure.)
People were very nice.
The only real concern was the train tracks right next door. The train woke me up in the middle of the night briefly.
I stayed here because it was the cheapest place I could find. It did the job for the price.

It's an old Route 66 motel, don't expect some modern facility with large rooms. It's small. And I don't want to hold it against the facility, but there is a train track right behind it, and trains went by all night every 30 minutes or so, if you are a light sleeper consider ear plugs or you won't get much sleep.

The hotel was very cute and the beds were comfortable, but the bathroom could really use a new sink with a counter or some sort of table or somewhere to put toiletries. We had to move the towels off the shelf and use that, as there was absolutely no room on the sink area. The trains were noisy, but I've lived near trains most of my life, so they weren't a problem, but I could see them being a huge issue for some people.

Unique Comfortable Stay Near Petrified Forest.

I would give this place 5 ⭐️ for a motel. Obviously this is not an all inclusive five star resort but for a motel it’s in the top, as I’ve stayed at a variety of resorts/hotels/motels to provide a true honest rating. Customer service far exceeded my expectations from BEGINNING of my check in till the end. The property contacted me prior to ask what time I was checking in and my reservation change on hotels.com didn’t update properly to postpone a day and they were happy to change it. Easy communication with text message, and offering a call back number if necessary. Property kept clear and polite communication with me throughout my day and I was going to be checking in very late (after 2 A.M.). I was given instructions for a lock box my key would be in and a contact and number if I had any issues. Property vibe is unique and corkey, unlike any other property I passed by in the town of Holbrook. Came into a super comfortable and clean, original decorative room, with the heat turned on (it was cold outside), microwave and fridge, and a shower with great water pressure and temperature. Ended my night with a comfortable bed. Extra perks of this motel is that they have Netflix available as well as it’s super close to Petrified Forest 🪲🌳

Don't stay in Holbrook.

The motel itself looked okay. However, the surrounding area was extremely run down and did not feel safe - many obviously closed motels & other businesses. The office was closed at 5pm, so I could not check in. There was a note with a phone number, but nobody answered. I booked a room in the next town, Winslow, and left.

A little lost in time

This hotel is from the 60's-70's era and not much has changed. First the bed was somewhat comfy, the pillows needed to be thrown away and replaced by new ones, they had an old odor to them.There was no dresser for clothes,a shelf or two and a few hooks would have worked, if there had been any. The towels were a bit stiff.I would not stay here again.

Place was great. Kitschy. Very Route 66 vibe. Cool spot, good food nearby. Bed was impressively comfortable. High end. My only complaint was the train. Thing was loud and close. But I slept through most of it.

If the train wasn't there blaring all night I'd give Brad's a 9/10 easily.

Turns out downtown Holbrook pretty run down and just
an unsafe feeling, especially with no staff on duty.

A great little property with a few things to work on to get to the next level - but a comfortable sleep in a clean room at a very reasonable price and with very helpful staff.

Greeted by two cockroaches; coffee pot didn't work, 2 plugs for \"a suite\" to accommodate a hair dryer, charging devices, the neighborhood not kept up, the bathtub may have been clean but looked gross, upper lock didn't work.

Had Roku but you had to enter in your own passwords. Make sure they are erased.

It was a good place to stop for one night on my way to Scottsdale but it was very much a motel.
The bedding and pillows were some sort of memory foam and not the most comfortable.
There was a weird 2-inch step between the room and the bathroom.
I was offered earplugs at check in because of the trains that run behind the motel. I didn't need to use them because the air conditioner is so loud that I didn't even hear the trains until I was getting ready to check out.

Liked that it was an old motel. However, it is right by the train tracks with trains going by at all hours. The shower ceiling had mold.

Okay

An okay stop for a one night stay. Room was comfortable but the bathroom was dated and the toilet wasn’t screwed in properly so moved every time it was sat on. The hotel is also right next to the train tracks and the trains run fairly frequently through the night, which had I realised this I’d have booked somewhere else as it woke us up quite a few times.

Seen better days

Basic motor lodge has seen better days. Service was impeccable and the place was spotless. Trains were very loud. Holbrook itself is very tired but the Safeway is nice!

Disappointing

Made reservation for a King room. Was told room was not available due to a broke window. Got a Queen instead but not given any discount on lesser room. Room had several missing light bulbs and was in overall poor condition. Then there's the trains that ran all night making it impossible to sleep. Not sure how place gets any positive reviews. It's at best a 4 or 5 out off 10 place.

Great little place of history

This room was very clean...loved the shower....I do not normally like memory foam mattresses because they make me too hot...did not have that issue...the pillows were also memory foam and I had a great night sleep...they did not have decaf coffee but did offer me some green tea...The parking is very tight...if you have an oversized vehicle you might have issues

We always stop at Brad's Desert Inn in Holbrook. Yes we know about the train noise but choose to stay there in spite of it. Get tired of all the cookie cutter chain motels. Only problem was not enough sugar and creamer for the coffee machine.

The train was a hot mess. But not the properties fault. If you have trouble sleeping take some ear plugs.

The stay was nice, affordable and safe.
Staff was exceptional and made us feel welcomed.

Good service, but serious issues.

First the good part: The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful. Now the bad news: Although the motel looks OK from the outside there are some series deficiencies in the rooms. There is a small step leading from the main room into the bathroom that I stubbed my toes on several times. Also, there was no way to open the bathroom window. Finally, this motel is very close to a set of busy train tracks. Be prepared to hear loud train whistles several times a night.

Perfect on the road stop

Very simple, clean motel. Lovely staff, very helpful and friendly. Convenient for the Painted Desert. The railway tracks are right behind the hotel and lots of freight comes through overnight, but I love SW trains so wasn’t bothered being woken by them.

Charming old-style route 66 motel. Staff is refreshingly friendly and helpful, no comparison to your typical corporate hotel. Highly recommended. I've stayed twice and loved it both times!
