“Train noise, lumpy bed, nice spa but cold pool”
The knobs on the A/C spun all the way around, and I didn't know if I was turning on the heat or the A/C. I was very tired from some 14 hours of traveling, and didn't want to try to figure it out. So, it was somewhat cool outside, so I opened the windows. However, the close proximaty of the train tracks was annoying, and about every 15-20 minutes, a train went by. I was feeling a little ill already, but I had a horrible nights' sleep nonetheless.
This seems to be the trend at a lot of hotels/motels: only 1 pack of condiments for the coffee. There is enough coffee for 2-3 cups, but why only 1 sugar and 1 creamer for the entire pot of coffee? I asked and was able to get more from the front desk. This motel is on the historic Route 66, and I'm sure that this motel has been here for quite some time. However, the caulking job around the bathtub looked like it was done by a novice. The water kept changing temperatures during my shower.
There is a restaurant attached to the motel, which was convenient. Prices were reasonable and the food was pretty good. The spa was in the back, generally secluded from the highway traffic, and was comfortable. It was connected to the pool by a dividing wall, so you could go from the spa to the pool without completely getting out of the water. The pool water was rather cold-I did not go in the pool. (This was early September.)
The staff was very polite and courteous. All in all, it wasn't worth what we paid. I think it's worth about half of that.
