We enjoyed the retro feel of this historic Route 66 Hotel. Only complaint is maybe more bar staff on holidays as with only one bar tender he was unable to handle the influx of people there. Also, if the pool is not available a discount should be offered as that was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel.
