Weird Little Hotel
This was, hands-down, the WEIRDEST experience we've ever had with a hotel. We were obviously the ONLY ONES in the BUILDING. The only car in the parking lot, the only room occupied, no front desk, no concierge. You enter a number on a keypad, a number that they text you ahead of time, a little door opens, and there's your key. No contact with a human, if you don't want it. Our first room stunk to high heaven of stale cigarettes. I called the number they furnished, went through the keypad thing again, got a better room, thank you. On and off throughout our stay, lights went on and off in various places but there were no other people but us there. None. Very spooky. Pros of this hotel: it was SPOTLESS, it was quiet, and it was newer. Plenty of hot water. Cons of this hotel: it definitely gave off a REDRUM vibe (if you know, you know), the hot & cold faucets were switched, the bathroom had ZERO grab bars (scary unsafe), there is very little room to unpack a suitcase or brush your teeth, and only hooks are available to hang anything... which won't work at ALL for sweaters, or delicate things. Most concerning of all is the feeling of lack of safety. We were sure there were cameras all over the place in the (creepy) lobby but there is no other HUMAN to deter troublemakers. This is a nice hotel, far from the worst place we've ever stayed but it was a weird experience. If I were a single woman or a woman with small kids, I'm not sure I'd feel safe staying at this hotel.

Overall stay was very good. However had an issue with check in. You are sent a code to get your room key from an automated machine. The code I was given did not work. Had to contact an offsite person via a ring camera. Took a couple of tries before someone answered. Once I could talknto someone, check in went quickly and got my room keys.

Right on Route 66! A few blocks away is an outdoor museum which details the history of the area. Free and very informative. Quaint downtown with 3 huge giant statues and again informative signs. Dollar General next door. Also an auto parts store and 2 gas stations. Also a restaurant across the street that looked busy. This was a quiet section of town next to the motel. Very clean modern motel—everything was new! A motel sized frig with the bigger freezer. Ice down the hall if needed. Check in was a breeze! Would definitely stay again!
