The room we stayed in had what looked like coffee spilled on the bathroom door and bathroom counter and never cleaned up, and the chair provided to us in the room was filthy and stained beyond repair. Room also had a musty smell to it.
Staff were amazing and super helpful!
Our room was SO CLEAN. Loved the facility. Very old school and such a neat place to stay on Route 66. The hot tub was absolutely DIVINE!!! We will be returning.
Nice staff. Enjoyed the band and the locals dancing in the bar.

We chose this hotel based on reviews and the whole route 66 experience. Although the decor thruout the lobby and interior was route 66, the room was not route 66 themed. The room we received was very basic. The ceilings in the main room and bathroom were dirty, there were a couple of broken items, holes in the wall. However, the bed was clean and comfortable so if you are just looking for a place to lay your head then may be ok. As indicated by others the pool was not open. We did book thru Expedia and it seems the room pictures, description and amenities may be misleading because we definitely did not get the room we selected and the staff indicated there were no rooms that matched the description, even though we paid for an upgrade, but we will address this with Expedia. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this place as there are nicer hotels for the same money. We did not eat at the restaurant so cannot comment on that, but were informed they no longer serve breakfast.

The building is just tired. Everything works, it was clean, and the staff was very friendly. the problem is the building itself. They lean in on the "Route 66" theme, but that doesn't mean the room should look like they haven't been redone since the glory days of the Mother Road. I still gave it three stars because, again, people were nice, and the place was clean, but definitely not a high-level stay.
Great place to stay! Very pet friendly! Great staff!!

To be honest, this hotel has some character to it, which was nice. The staff was nice and courteous, and tolerant of a traveler who was very tired, and just wanted things to be easy. When I arrive at 10:00 PM, there was literally no restaurants open except for Domino’s Pizza, who wanted to charge me $40 for a large pizza, and deliver it two hours later. In a room that had a jet tub, there were only two towels… The entire room was tile, and there was no TV in the bedroom. I liked the hotel, and the motif of route 66, and if I was in a better mood, I would’ve had a good time there. So part of this problem with me, and part of the problem with the actual property. I would actually stay there again!
I love the first night with the lady that checked us in she was very nice to me and not only me but my kids but the young big guy working was very rude and nasty to us. Not just the night after check n we added a day to our stay we live in town on our central air went out ...well. We needed one more day I went through Expedia with my card and he tried to get me to pay again . When I confirmed he never even apologized. Then that night lady came back old guy and his wife was complaining at 9;30 it started when I was giving all my kids a bath that they was too loud well they knew I had 3 bby under three one on a gtube and required oxygen to breath . On top that we had to move rooms she said normally her boss kicks people out but she gave us another room I appreciate that but there was no soap worms in sink toilet n shower I had to clean to let bbys use . Then the bed sheets had bugs on them . I went spoke to her she said we would be fine we can leave at 12 and if we ran few min behind that it's ok well then the big guy came again yelling at us saying ur being to loud well our key was no good I asked him to just renew long enough to get my oxygen tanks out n the bbys stuff cause I cleaned the room . To the women that helped us you are so appreciated but to that man u should be ashamed to have treated a disabled baby that's only three the way u guys did people have kids u can't place a muzzle on them specially making us move at 12 am didn't get done tell 1:30 am had to leave at12
Having the diner and drinks open later. Security on site with the weirdos in and out

We stayed one night at Route 66 Hotel. It wasn't the Four Seasons by any means, but for less than $80 on Valentine's Day, it was really good. Our room was clean, but did smell sort of like curry, but my wife and I love curry, so there's that.
We ate at the restaurant onsite, and was pretty good. They were understaffed, so we had a wait. But it was worth waiting for.
Overall, decent hotel for the money. We would stay there again.
