This is a unique renovated Route 66 property. It is very well done and a very friendly staff. The updates may not be consistent with the 50s and 60s., But overall, it is a very well done renovation.

I was very impressed with how nicely renovated all the rooms are. The bed was comfortable and everything was in good shape. I especially appreciated them having two EV chargers.
I'm not sure I'd bother doing their advanced online check-in though - they ended up asking me for almost everything when I checked in that I'd already done online so it seemed like a waste of time.

The staff were awesome. Our check in went very smoothly. Our room was comfortable and the decor was on theme for Route 66 nostalgia. The offered breakfast was basic with coffee, juice, toast, cereal and self-made waffles. Property felt safe with well lit area and cameras.

We were just passing through so were not concerned about most of the questions, such as shopping, dining options or transportation. We did really enjoy the couple who checked us in, as they were very friendly and helpful with information. We would stay here again.
