Rooms, amenities, and the breakfast
The forty-two guest rooms are distributed across two exterior-corridor floors in a single L-shaped building, with parking immediately outside each room — a layout that travelers with cars typically prefer for the convenience of unloading luggage. Standard rooms include either two queen beds or one king bed, a small work desk, a flat-screen television with cable, a small refrigerator and microwave, an in-room coffee maker, a hair dryer, and a tile-and-tub private bathroom. The rooms are modestly sized but comfortably arranged.
The bedding is updated and clean — replaced systematically over the past several years of ownership upgrades — and the bathrooms have been refreshed with newer fixtures, fresh tile, and adequate hot water pressure. Wi-Fi is included and works adequately for streaming, email, and standard travel use; it occasionally slows during peak evening hours but is generally reliable. The HVAC systems are individual through-wall units that are noisy but effective, with strong heating and cooling appropriate for the extreme Panhandle climate.
Free continental breakfast is served in the small lobby breakfast room from 6am to 9am — coffee, juice, milk, fruit, cereal, packaged pastries, hard-boiled eggs, and a waffle iron. The offering is basic but adequate, and the breakfast room is open early enough to suit Route 66 travelers wanting an early start. Travelers who prefer a real cooked breakfast often skip the motel offering and walk or drive to Mitchell's Family Restaurant downtown, which is open from 6am daily.
