Consistently Excellent
Smart, friendly staff & management.
An awesome authentic midcentury facility that is spotlessly clean. The rooms are true MC but the mattresses are comfortable.
Ive now stayed here 6-7 times and its consistently excellent. One of my favorite Route 66 motels.

Great value, great people
This is an excellent and charming little hotel, and a great value. Tucked away on the historic Route 66, has a lot of history. Very comfortable, nice folks at the front desk.

Nostalgic pet friendly motel on Route 66!
This is a nice older motel on Route 66, the staff is excellent and the rooms are very clean. There is a great pet area outdoors for your fur babies. I would recommend this Sunset Motel to anyone looking for a place to stay.

Small hotel with very friendly staff. They don’t have a full breakfast but the pastries they gave us were better than a standard continental breakfast anyways. I’d stay here again.

Cute, cute property! There is a small courtyard where we enjoyed breakfast. The rooms were musty but clean. My family booked 3 rooms and it was a great meeting area for us all. We loved the sack "breakfast". We would definitely recommend

This is a motel. Expedia's 9.6 rating is ridiculous. If you want to stay in a motel on Old Route 66, go for it.
Otherwise spend same $$ at Baymont or your favorite 3-4 star hotel.
