“Exactly what we hoped for. Exterior doors, quiet area, superb owner. Keypad entry to rooms. No cards. We booked 3 days. Easy access to everything we planned to do in town. The beds are magnificent. Memory foam. I haven't slept like that since I was a child. I've never owned a mattress of the quality provided on our stay. #goals the room.”

“We stayed at this hotel on a Route 66 motorcycle trip, it is classic Americana! The staff was great, the rooms were clean and it was close to Bricktown and automobile alley. I would highly recommend it.”

“Room was really cute, didn’t smell the best though and the house keeping wasn’t great, like a few other reviews have said there was a box of leftover food in the fridge in our room as well. It’s not bad for the price and the vibe is super cute inside and out (note that the outside is not kept up well). As someone who was born and raised in OKC, the location isn’t the best so be cautious if you’re traveling alone maybe :). They also don’t use trash bags in your rooms at an attempt to be eco friendly but it just made me worry it was a bit unsanitary especially for the bathroom. short drive to some fun places though, plaza district, 23rd st, paseo, etc! on a positive note, we were able to check in almost 3 hours early and the front desk girl was really helpful! they also offer a no contact check in!”

“I liked this place! Self service check-in at a lightly renovated 60s motor-lodge type place.Got those googie vibes! And someone either forgot to sign out of their Apple+ account, or it's the owners account, but I got to watch 5 episodes of Pluribus! Don't think I saw another person on the property while I was there. The area is kind of industrial and you will see the occasional homeless person walk by, but they didnt bother me. I felt perfectly safe sitting in the seating area having a smoke. (Don't tell. You're not supposed to smoke on the property, but literally no one else was there and I police my butts.) If you like out-of-the-ordinary places with a vibe or Route 66 places this is for you.”

Located near main roads and local amenities, it provides guests with clean, functional rooms equipped with standard features such as free Wi‑Fi, flat‑screen TVs, and basic toiletries — ideal for travelers needing a simple place to rest and recharge without paying premium prices. Many guests note that the beds and linens are generally comfortable and that the housekeeping keeps rooms tidy,”

“This was the first stop on our anniversary road trip via Route 66. It is the cutest retro inn with the best vibes! Communication and check-in were on point and very easy. This is a no-frills, full vintage vibe property. Our room was a standard sized room for the era (cozy), but everything was clean and in working order. The decor and furnishings were perfect for the setting. A small fridge, microwave, and electric kettle were provided. Unfortunately, I didn't realize they had not refilled the regular coffee before we woke in the morning, only decaf was available. The shower has satisfactory hot water and pressure, soap and conditioning shampoo were provided. The mini-split did its job well and we enjoyed a wonderful night's sleep. The property sits alongside a busy arterial, so there was a bit of traffic noise, but nothing excessive or that disturbed our sleep. It is located near the Plaza District with great places to shop and dine. We enjoyed dinner at The Mule. We would highly recommend staying to anyone with an appreciation of MCM architecture and vibes. Just manage your expectations that you are not booking a 4-star resort, they aren't trying for that. They achieve their goal of a clean, fun, pleasant, and affordable place to stay the night.”
