Old school room, nice charm. Hotel is by railroad tracks and trains run every 5 minutes. Hard to sleep. Parking was tight. Dated but clean room
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!
Found a new favorite local-owned motel. Perfect for Rt 66 exploration or for Petrified Forest NP. The room was somewhere between cool and quaint. I felt like I had invited myself over for a slumber party. Great stay. Will be back.
Great little motel. Very comfortable and accommodating. Chairs outside of room to sit and listen to the train and relax. They kept the rooms almost 100% original.

Jody was super nice! I enjoyed the white noise machine in the room and the bed was very comfortable.
Excellent hotel! We were in the James Dean room during our Route 66 trip. Area to sit outside. Lovely staff. Room a little dated but clean, we deliberately chose to stay here given its appearance and within Route 66.
This is definitely the place to stay to get that Route 66 feeling. Park right outside your room, and enjoy plenty of entertainment on the tv or fast wifi. Most importantly, enjoy the nicely cleaned room.
The man who checked me in was very nice. He personally brought me to the room and made sure everything worked and that I was
happy with everything.

It's an old Route 66 motel that hasn't been renovated in a while. It was clean but a bit noisy as it's not far from the railway. The bed was confortable.
Rooms decorated with a theme, ours was James Dean. Parking in front of room, ground floor. Train stops blowing whistle at night, but vibrates the room. Advertised 2 beds, all rooms have a king bed only. No ice machine. Comfortable bed. Okay for one night, close to petrified forest national park.
Brads was great. It’s older and small but we were very comfortable. Everything was clean. We stayed in the James Dean room. Trains go by frequently but the owner has ear plugs. She was a delight as well. I would stay there again.
It was an old property but had been updated. I had booked it because it was iconic on Route 66. It was a comfortable night's stay and we got what we paid for. I wasn't looking for luxury, and I stayed there based on the price and the artfutlness of the place.
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!
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.

We are deep sleepers so train noise didn’t bother us but it woke me up in the morning!! It is a great place to spend the night if you are deep sleeper!! Bed is comfortable and clean!! I would prefer floor is cleaner!! Rest is as same as any other hotels!
I liked the look and feel of the property. It had a lot of route 66 themes and such including the ac temp being set at 66 which was a little funny. My only complaint is that they could maybe use some better pillows and some better curtains for blocking sunlight. Other than that it's a good place to sleep than hit the road again early morning
