Charming motel, glad we got to stay there. If you want the old fashioned feeling of a Route 66 Motel, stay here. Music plays in your room with old commercials. They recommended eating dinner at Dell's (which was amazing) and breakfast at Kix on 66, a super cute diner with great food.

Good for pets, tgats about it.

We stayed here because it was dog friendly. The room and establishment are from the old route 66 era. Despite being advertised as retro, and it was, it was also in poor shape. Our room was very small and had nowhere to put luggage or toiletries. The room had a musty smell that triggered our allergies and the bathroom had no fan so you can guess how thay effected the room after use. I made the mistake of booking 3rd party and ended up paying almost 150 for the night. The owner/manager was nice and helpful and making the best out of an old relic of a hotel but we will stay elsewhere next time through.

Wonderfully restored motel on rt 66, radio playing old commercials, moon pies in your room along with vintage magazines. Office is only open specific hours but you can make arrangements if your arriving after hours. Also, pet friendly. You can purchase pet supplies for your furry friends & the art work on your walls can be purchased. Fun place

What a gem!

Roadrunner Lodge is a total gem! If you’d like to get a true Route 66 motel experience, give Roadrunner a try! Rooms have a vintage radio playing when you walk into your room…a really fun touch! Bed was comfortable, room was clean and the environment was quiet. Could hear a little TV noise next door, but no worse than many stays elsewhere. The host was extremely helpful and friendly. Will definitely return if we get the chance!

Rt 66 motel, immaculately clean, comfortable and 60's themed room. Very nice room, very well kept property. Lots of 60's era folks getting rooms, too! Will stay here again.

This place is phenomenal. I feel like I had a genuine Route 66 experience. The staff are friendly, courteous and make you feel welcomed. The rooms have a 1960s feel to them with mid century modern style furniture and a vintage radio which plays vintage music and jingles from back then. The music ranges from big band to rock music. The jingles between songs are fun to listen to. The only modern appliances in the room are the AC and the television but why watch television when you can listen to the vintage radio programs!!! You don't just get a place to rest when you come to Roadrunner Lodge. You get an experience. The classic cars and the souvenir shop in the lobby are an awesome touch. If you get a chance to visit the Roadrunner Lodge, I highly recommend it. You will be glad you did.
