Super cute little place. Older mom & pop style motel. They kept the vintage charm and added some really cute upgrades and touches. Everything was incredibly clean! Amazing pillows. I do wish I would've asked for an extra blanket before going to bed, since I woke up a little chilly, but that's my fault. There's a gas station across the road, but other food options are a couple miles away. That was a fair tradeoff for a reasonably priced, clean, quiet, and safe room. Great job, owners and staff!!

This is an amazing place to stay on the Route 66 trip. An older hotel that has managed to keep the uniqueness and be incredibly clean at the same time. Other hotels should look here for tips on how to run a motel right! So good we overslept and got a late start the next morning. Totally worth it.

Adorable retro motel
This Budget Inn is most definitely on our stay list. We would give 1000 stars if we could. Tasha checked us in and was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable. The pool area is beautiful and the sun setting over the lake across the street was stunning. If you are in the area its a must stay. My teenage grandaughter was thrilled with the retro decor. It was also very quiet and one of the best nights sleep I've had in awhile. MUCH nicer than the big vhain hotel the next night.

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.

Truly, the BEST Budget Inn. The owners are SO kind, welcoming, helpful, and I LOVE how they have preserved the 60s-70s theme. It’s VERY cool. This is all about providing a great customer experience so people can spread the word, let the world know, and have them come back again. And they EXCEEDED in every area.

Step into the Past on Route 66
I loved this place!! I didn’t know it was a Route 66 location and had been updated and modernized so I was delightfully surprised to find myself enjoying the past with the present conveniences. It is located beside a beautiful small lake and they decorated the outside to enhance that view.

Cute little motel
The owner did some upgrading to give it a vintage feel. It’s older but clean and not “smelly.” Checking in was quick and a friendly experience.
