Reminds me of the no-frills 1950s ‘motor hotels’ my family stayed at when I was a kid, but modernized. Clean, comfortable room with a ‘50s vibe. Good location close to Old Town, Aquarium, and restaurants. Only caution is the place is on a Main Street (Route 66) so traffic noise. Recommended

Our stay was great! The only issue we had was that the air conditioner in one of our joining rooms was not really working. When we called for assistance, the only options we had were either to move rooms or a box fan. Being that it was already late and we were already settled in, we opted for the box fan and placed it near the joining doorway to pull the cool air from the other room into the other. Fortunately, we were comfortable throughout the night.

Cutest place ever! 50's decor to go along with the Route 66 - 100 year anniversary trip we were on from Michigan, right on neon street! We each got a free token for a free drink from their lobby/bar which I've never seen a place do before 😮🍸🍸 Large room and very comfy king bed. Only .4 miles to walk to the town square. Everything was GREAT!

This place is wonderful! Bartender was awesome and he made the best drinks. Check in and out was easy as well right at lobby bar area. The lounge they have with a kitchen and TV area and patio and free laundry was awesome addition if you need that. In room coffeemaker and charging station on both sides of bed with reading lights were appreciated!!
