I loved how this remodel was done and the front desk were so kind. I do really appreciate having a quiet room as I slept well. I have stayed at other remodeled Rt 66 hotels but this is actually nice and not just lipstick on a pig. It has beautiful architectural details. The sheets are crisp and they give you a real coffee mug for your in-room coffee. The mini split air conditioning is super cold and very quiet. The garden area around the pool is beautiful and fragrant. I just love how they make use of drought resistant plants in their garden.

The El Vado is a little gem! Everyone is super friendly, and the dining options on-site are excellent! Also, there’s a sweet little patio with misters to keep you cool while you’re eating outside. The standard rooms are a bit small, so I recommend getting a bigger room or suite if you can afford it. Nice place!

My bed was more comfortable than many hotels. Hostess Ana made the stay 10x better than it already was with her amazing service. Rooms are beautiful, great vibe, everything offered at the motel from drinks, food and live entertainment daily. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

This is a great property, conveniently located on route 66. Although on route 66, our room was very quiet. We loved the vibe of this place. There’s a lot happening to participate if you wish to we appreciate the on-site taproom, the choice On site restaurants that delivered To our table, the happy hour for hotel guests that went on all evening, and the pool for guests. Our room looked recently renovated and was quite contemporary. Although Small, the room had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again.

It was windy and there was something loose on the roof that caused a loud banging in our room. Could not find any staff at the desk to help. Finally walked around the back of the room and found a circuit box door was open and banging in the wind. I fixed it but then it started up again. Finally found a staff member that tied it up. 2 hours after hearing the banging.

Amazing restoration on a 1937 property. There is a bar that serves a good selection of beer. There is also some food/coffee outlets on property. Pool was interesting but had a lot of “floaters” in it. Room could use a fridge and microwave. Outdoor furniture could be replaced. Cushions had sun damage

We loved our stay at this completely remodeled, historic motel. If you are someone who tries to avoid the run-of-the-mill basic hotel with average ‘free’ breakfast, then you will enjoy this place. The front desk attendant is nice and helpful and our king suite was quiet and comfortable.
