It was more like an at home feel, rather than just a room at a hotel chain.
Nice decor. Real coffee mugs.

We were traveling back home to Kentucky from a week long stay in Oklahoma. We decided to spend the night here on Route 66 at this Awesome retro vibe, back in time hotel. The lady at the check in office was very friendly & nice offering us a Great place to eat breakfast at the next morning. The room was very clean & peacefully quiet. We really enjoyed our stay!

Quaint little hotel that has an old school style to it. The rooms are decorated as if they were from the 1970's. I loved it. The beds were quite comfortable as well. They are right next to a lake and a river. I need to bring my fishing pole next time.

Unbeatable for the price. No frills. Simple room, but it does have a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Clean blowing heater. Tight shower, but excellent shower head. I'd stay here again.

This was a nice hotel, it was obviously an older facility but was well maintained and the furnishings was amazing, they appeared to be of the 50's decor that presented a nostalgic feeling that to me made it more comfortable.

Room was cute, decorated in 50’s Route 66 decor. But water pressure was very low. Motel was close to Carthage, which is an adorable town with amazing Holiday displays.
