The BEST staff you could ask for in a stay
Pros:

I cannot rate the staff highly enough. We were checked in by Snoop and he was an absolute delight. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel so at home. If you come here for anything it’s him. Thank you again for making our Route 66 trip epic!

Pros:

L'hotel è praticamente un museo della route 66! Ci sono all'interno tantissimi cimeli e tutto richiama alla Mother Road. Camera pulita e confortevole. Attiguo c'è un ristorante che serve buon cibo e fa musica country dal vivo.

Cons:

È stato tutto perfetto.

Oldie but goodie - ish!
Pros:

The staff are amazing and so accommodating. The facility itself is super outdated but if you like route 66, old cars and a little bit of adventure this is the perfect spot for you!

Cons:

The rooms could have been cleaner BUT when we reported that to the front desk they immediately came down and tried to make things better. Honestly the staff is awesome!
