Unbeatable for the price!
Unbeatable for the price. No frills. Simple room, but it does have a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Clean blowing heater. Tight shower, but excellent shower head. I'd stay here again.

Okay for One Night
Room was cute, decorated in 50’s Route 66 decor. But water pressure was very low. Motel was close to Carthage, which is an adorable town with amazing Holiday displays.

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.

Route 66 Gem
Room was comfortable and clean. Owners were amazingly nice. Along old Route 66, motel is of the era and gives the vibe. If you want a clean, quiet room for a good price this is the place. Kellogg Lake across the road, walking trail and park.

This retro motel on route 66 is a fabulous property beside a lake in historic Carthage. The proprietor''s care about preserving the traditions of mid 20th century motels for trans continental travelers. We especially appreciated the laundry and the wholehearted welcome. The decor of the rooms was another unique touch. A great value.
