Traveling on route 66 across the country with two dogs can be a challenge. The rooms where clean surprisingly nice, especially for the price. There is an amazingly awesome antique store right next to the hotel! And on the other side is a fireworks store! How Flippin cool is that! We walked our dogs around the water tower and over to browse the lot of the antique store. It was a great stay in burbon.

This was a cool place to stay at. We walked in and got a room for less than $60. The rooms are themed and ours had a Hollywood theme. The room was clean and had a microwave and fridge. The staff was very nice and set off some fireworks for the 4th of July in the parking lot.

I stumbled upon this little Route 66 motel after doing some night photography nearby on the route. It was dark and cold, and I needed a place to stay for the night. The lobby was nice and warm, which felt great! I like staying at older mom and pop motels especially along Route 66, and this business fit the description well. I thought it was a bit odd paying a $20.00 cash deposit but I'm sure they had their reasons. The first room, the doorknob was janky and the heater wasn't working, and they switched me right away and said they'd fix the other room before renting again. This room was clean and comfortable. Everything worked. I appreciated that they thought of having USB chargers which was helpful with laptop and camera batteries, etc. I'd stay again.

We had great service, clean room and clean and comfortable bed. We slept so good! Great motel for a small town.

Was it perfect? That depends on your definition. Pretty beat up, ripped walls, holes, no themed rooms anymore, but the bed is the best I’ve ever slept on! No bugs, no funny smells, heat took a minute to work but stayed comfortable all night, and the water pressure and temp was great. Would stay here again while traveling through.

Very clean rooms and very reasonable prices with modern amenities, super comfortable beds and you can even get 50's themed rooms at no extra charge. There is a cafe next door and a convenience store across the road.
