My father and I are completing the Route 66 from Illinois to California. We’ve stayed at 8 hotels on this trip; some great and some horrible. This hotel was a pleasant surprise! At first my dad was worried about booking, but the positive reviews and low price made us take a gamble. It was an enjoyable stay and I would return! The beds were comfortable, the pool was clean and refreshing, the staff was kind and accommodating. I don’t have any complaints.

This hotel served as well as a pitstop on our road trip back from Arizona. The check-in was easy, and the staff was friendly, also the beds were comfortable, clean, and the air conditioning worked very well in the room, which was very important since it was very hot outside. The biggest downside is that the bathtub was kind of dirty, and it didn’t look like it had been thoroughly properly cleaned around the drain in a while. Also, there was no hand soap in the hotel. My friends in their room next to us didn’t have any body wash. I think it would just be nice if their staff insured that the necessary amenities were refilled each time they cleaned.

Stopped our road trip early that day to use what looked like a nice pool. It was dirty and we didn’t go in. The bathtub was stained and cracking, with hair and webs on the bathroom wall. The bed was nice, but we found a couple pieces of hair in the sheets. Overall it was pretty dirty and disappointing.

Older property but clean and comfortable. Very friendly staff and easy checkin. Very comfortable beds. Will definitely stay here again. Our only (minor) issue is the lack of coffee in the room. I have read the management's rsponse to other's comments, and I agree that most motel room coffee is pretty terrible. However we have stayed in other motels in this price range that provided mini-Keurig pots in the rooms.

The hotel is convenient for a one night stop while traveling and the price is good. However, hotel is old, walls are thin. I would suggest staying in a room on the top floor. We stayed in a ground floor room and could hear everything above us. The shower sounded like it was in our room...very loud at 4:00 am. Front desk personnel were friendly.

On arrival the room was very hot. The AC was off. The ice bucket was missing the plastic liner. Went down to the office and was told they have no access to the supplies. Also no response to the room being hot. I booked the room well in advance and prepaid. It got into the 90's and the room faces the late afternoon sun. Took 3 hours for it to become bearable. Probably my last stay here.

Very comfortable, pleasant. You should know that the many trains which go through Needles can be seen from here, and you might feel their vibrations, but they don’t blow their horns or such. I like the trains! We got room 230 on purpose so we could see trains.
