What guests think

At Flamingo Inn, travelers describe a basic, vintage Route 66 motel that delivers clean, affordable rooms, parking at the door, and generally friendly service, while acknowledging its age, dated decor, and a no-frills experience suited to short stays.

Many also highlight the handy location near roadside food options, generally quiet nights, and fast, dependable Wi-Fi. Downsides include musty smells, dated or worn furnishings, occasional maintenance issues (plumbing, AC noise), sporadically unfriendly check-in, and multiple reports of bed bugs. Best suited to short, practical stays rather than a polished, modern hotel experience.

Our room and bathroom at Flamingo were clean and satisfactory. It’s basic accommodation at a rock bottom price: comfortable bed, big screen TV, refrigerator, microwave, coffee station at the sink, secure WiFi of which the owner claims he’s not had any complaints in the 18 years he’s owned the place. The location is not scenic, but it feels safe enough. Braum’s Ice Cream & Dairy is a local fast food institution and just a short walk away, open till 10:45 pm. Mint chocolate chip ice cream was good according to my wife. Paul Miller Nashville, TN

Some reviews didn’t like that this is an older property so everything is not sparkly and new. The room was clean, had a nice frig, microwave, hair dryer, iron. Newer sink, counter, tub, toilet. I liked the vintage style like I used to stay in with my parents as a kid. The proprietor was nice, friendly, helpful.

This was a great economical spot for a quick nights stay on a road trip. Room was clean, I like the old motor lodges where you can park directly in front of the room. It’s definitely not a resort so don’t expect high end, but it was perfect for my needs. Cool Route 66 and local history museum about a mile up the road and plenty of fast food options. And a grocery store nearby

Absolutely not pet friendly. Charged higher pet fee than hotels.com lists. Told me I had to walk them across 5 lanes of traffic to take them to potty. No outside trash to throw poop bags away. Then when I pulled the covers back there was a big bed bug crawling around. They did not give me a refund even though I left soon after checking in.

When I asked to check in, the staff member handed me an application form and tapped it with a pen. It felt like a police interrogation. The sheets were wrinkled and stained. It looked like the room hadn't been cleaned since the previous guest. There were yellow and black spots scattered all over the sheets. The lighting was very dim. The bathtub was still wet. The armrest of the chair was broken. The clock was unplugged. But the price was definitely low. The low price justifies the poor service. If you want a nice place to stay, you can pay double the price. Only the toilet and refrigerator were very clean.

Not sure why there are 5 star reviews about this place in 2025. I could not give them a 5 except for a couple of things: 1- super fast, excellent internet and TV 2 - bed was comfortable The rest not so much - carpet is ick! Property is run down and needs some updates. Walls in rooms needed painting. Bathroom was semi updated. An unsightly leak occurred in the bathroom previously so the ceiling had wet damaged Sheetrock. Place seemed fairly clean but the old outdated furniture was past use date. There was a nice looking recliner and chair in the room but I am unable to sit in furniture with cloth because how do I know who sat before me. I’m kinda picky like that. Obviously the price was very low so I get what I paid for. If they were able to do some updating I think this would be a fun place to stay.

We were greeted by a surly woman whom we could barely understand. We did make the reservation just a few minutes before arrival but still, the woman seemed very put out that we patronized their hotel. There was not a single thing that justified an 8+ rating on your site. I would have to believe that the ratings were all completed by friends and family and not actual patrons.

Decided on this room due to needing a stay for a baseball tournament reviews were good but think they are made up by ownership. Check in staff was rude saying we didn’t book it right added $10 for kids. When we got to our room there were people outside smoking. The room was over 90 degrees because AC was off. Then people started knocking on door. Kids were scared so we left tried to see if we could get a refund as we never stayed in the room. We were told no and were very rude. Really just stealing money from a family.

Nothing a bottle of air freshener couldn't cure or even plug in air fresheners. Be sure to grab a coffee at the White Buffalo just down the street. Good coffee.
