Very clean! Neat little bar area with friendly locals The owner is also the bartender so you might find him there at checkin. Very friendly and accommodating. Furniture and fixtures are dated in room but was quiet and no road noise off old 66. Would definitely stay again.

I wouldn’t stay here again.

The owner was rude and told me that my dog should not be a service dog. He told me he didn’t care it was a service dog and was going to charge me extra for the dog. He lectured me for like 15 minutes about my dog not being a service dog and didn’t even give me the chance to defend my self on why he was a service dog.

Good place

It is a motel. For 70ish dollars. It was pretty decent. It was clean and comfortable. We had a pickup truck with stuff in the back, and we were told nothing happens here, and true to his word, nothing happened. It's a good place to sleep and shower.

The property is a bit dated but everything was clean. Felt safe. There were not a lot guests. Did not check out the pool or laundry facilities. The guy that runs the place and the bar is really great. Bar is pretty awesome, especially if you like bourbon! I would probably stay here again if passing through.

Property was creepy. Rooms were musty. Carpet was dirty.Not enough plugs. Lots of flies inside office and room. Parking is rough and needs to be repaired. High rating posted for this hotel are exaggerated. Would never recommend it. I feel property needs to be remodeled or condemned.
