"Charming Retro Hotel on Route 66!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
What a charming place to stay. We were warmly greeted by a welcoming staff. I was also given a beautiful single rose upon check in. There had been a mixup for our pet friendly rooms, but the gracious desk staff resolved it and had us in our rooms with not much fuss. The room was comfortable, retro fun with a 50's turquoise wall, original tiled bath with a pedestal sink and deep soaker tub. Good, hot breakfast in the morning! I would recommend it and I would stay again.
