It is definitely a hole in the wall, kind of out-of-the-way place, but it is eclectic, and definitely captures the essence of the area! I would highly recommend anyone checking this place out when you’re in the area. It’s clean and comfy, and the staff was great!

Great little retro route 66 hotel. Rate was excellent, the manager was very accommodating. Rooms are kind of small, but for just a night's sleep, they work. If you are noise sensitive, bring earplugs, as the railroad sounds like it runs right behind the facility. Basic usual hotel extras, such as shampoo and coffee maker. Did have a small fridge and microwave in the room too.

We booked this place last minute because of an unexpected snowstorm, and it ended up being a great little spot. The power was out when we got there (not their fault—crazy weather), but the room was super clean and had a fun, unique vibe with flamingo decor and a cool Southwest feel. The train was definitely loud, but honestly, it kind of added to the experience in a weirdly charming way. For the price, it was totally worth it. My partner and I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. Would definitely stay again if we’re in the area.

Heading back to NM, our car ended up having issues, but the staff here was very helpful in getting us into a room. The location is convenient nice property! Very respectful staff. The room is cute we had a very comfortable stay. Recommend if ever in Holbrook, AZ. The old western feel made us help feel at home. Thank you to all the courteous staff. We will stay here again!

To me; passing through on a one night stay, this was perfect with good pricing. Room was clean, comfortable bed, walking distance to grocery stores and to restaurants. 2 Downsides, 1) I wanted to take a hot bath. I was chilled to the bone from a long bike ride in very cold temps. The hot water came out,,, almost hot,,, for maybe 3 minutes then quickly went from Luke warm to almost warm. The shower stayed plenty warm the whole time due to less flow for showers. 2) No horizontal surfaces to place things. Had to put everything on the floor. Still loved the place, would certainly stay again.
