It’s an older motel, obviously. But our room was very nice, clean and spacious, and best of all, smelled clean and natural—even better than most of the more expensive motels. I was impressed. The surrounding area and railroad tracks close by was a little questionable, but we had zero problems.

Small room but adequate and clean.

The room was smaller than usual but worked for our overnight stay. No chair in the room although there was a small desk type area where one would have been helpful. The exterior door bolt lock didn't work (but the knob lock did) The bathroom door didn't latch because a piece of the jamb was broken off but that didn't matter to us. We didn't use the tub/shower but it seemed fine. It was a good value for the money overall. The room and bathroom were clean.

This property is excellent for the price. Walkable to stores, restaurants, and train station. Checkin was easy and fast. The rooms of this classic motel have all been remodeled and updated. Bathroom is very nice. Property is very clean. I agree with other reviewers that the bedspreads need replacing. I plan to stay here again in a few days. The only problem I had was some random woman knocking at my door asking for a lighter and to use my phone. Keep doors securely locked.

My stay

The lady and man, who I believe are the owners were friendly and helpful. However, the hotel rooms were not clean or properly prepared for guests. My first room had to be changed because it was dirty and smelled fully and my second room was not very clean and was missing some things such as toilet paper/toilet paper hanger, and there was no towel rack. I was also concerned to sleep on the bed because the sheets were full of stains. I will probably not be returning to this place.

Great stay except for one guest

So this is an older hotel near the train tracks and right on historic Route 66. Overall a pleasant stay. The staff/owners were nice and accommodating. Ample parking with one space per room. The room was very clean so you know the owners do take pride in cleanliness. The room had older desk and comforter but still not bad. Restroom/bathroom very well updated. Only downside that I need to add was I believe some of the guests may be long term tenants so they do have their doors open. Sadly the neighbor to us played his music in his room until about 2am and some guy in the parking lot was screaming explatves at 2:30am. Although my wife and son slept through it made me a bit concerned about safety. This really isn’t the hotels fault and possibly to be expected with the diverse guests you have at a budget hotel. Overall a good stay and would be above average, 6-7/10.

Colonial side is ok as far as clean rooms, some rooms dont have mirrors, some tv dont work, its a hit and miss on microwave or fridges. The Ranchito side of rooms are not very clean, sometimes seems sheets are reused. The front desk staff are very kind polite good people

Strangers came into my room 2 in the morning with a key. So, pretty much, I got in a fight with strangers who had stayed there previously who tried to kick me out of the room I paid for.
