Loved this place, What a great little motel! It was amazing not to mention the most comfortable beds we’ve slept in other than our own home. The extra lockoff bunk room for our family of 6 was a pleasant surprise addition as well!! The staff was also super friendly

Everything about this property is great. It’s a great location. The property is clean and the rooms look like they were just updated. Check in was easy and the manager was so friendly and helpful. We even got a free beer or wine at the bar with our stay. It’s a gem of a hotel.

Unique motel. Much like motels were when route 66 was built. However this motel is completely remodeled. We got moved from the Monterey Motel to El Vado. It was awesome!

One of the reasons we booked this hotel was due to the pool and the whole time the pool was closed due to maintenance. This was disappointing since it was beautiful out both days. The rooms were nice and clean. We didn't like the showers. They had no doors and the water would spray all over the floor.

We loved this cute little retro-motel on Rt 66. Very recently remodeled and in very good taste. They have a super cool lounge serving beer and cocktails.The only thing we didn’t like was they offered no wi-fi which is actually a big deal these days. Also, weird check out experience. When I went to the lounge/office to check out the door was locked. Fortunately we had removed all of our stuff to the area outside the door because the entry card no longer worked. No problem for us, but we saw other travelers who were apparently locked out of their room but not having removed all their luggage.
