Straightforward process, nice rooms with personal care. Good rates. I'll only stay there when i travel through. Not a chain hotel and money well spent

We stayed in the "Kansas" room. It was decorated so darling! The room was clean and spacious. Check in/out was seamless. The price of the room is more than fair. The location is fabulous if you are eating at the scrumptious Red River Steakhouse next door and attending the dance at the McLean Dance Hall, like we were! :)

The best hotel I stayed at on my cross country trip. Every room was themed as a different state in Route 66 and the staff was amazing and kind.

This is an older motel that doesn't look like much from the outside, but my room was nice and clean, it was decorated quaintly, everything worked like it was supposed to, and I slept well. I'd highly recommend staying here if you're looking for an inexpensive place to spend the night while driving across the Panhandle.

We booked this around 11pm because of bad weather. The staff was welcoming, accommodating and very friendly. Although old, this family owned inn was a nice place to stay

This is just such a great place to stay. If you're traveling with pets, they're always so courteous and their rooms are always so tidy. It's very convenient on our way out to Southern Colorado

It was Tuesday and steak house was opened. Enjoyable meal
Was very skeptical about the place when booking, but honestly turned out way better than anticipated! Place was clean, amenities were great and the staff was nice. Check in was easy and the room, two bedroom, was very spacious! It had a western theme to it, which we loved and overall was totally worth it. Would definitely recommend staying here if you need to stop somewhere through the tip of texas!

Love this town
This is my second time there! I love this particular inn because of its location to McClean, Tx. I can see both museums. The New Taphouse and Red River Restaurant.
All of these locations are amazing and very friendly.
