This was a very needed stay, property let me in my room BEFORE check in when they found out I’ve been stranded and needed a place to stay. They had no problem with assisting me my room when I arrived on foot. Easy process & Cheap Stay $

Large, clean, affordable room. While clearly an older facility based on decor and furnishings it did NOT have the tell tale smell of similarly old places. Easy access parking. Would stay again.

This is an older property with older furnishings but I just loved the vibe. Had kind of a retro 1950s throwback feel. Room was very spacious and good value for the money. Really enjoyed my stay.

Without a doubt, if it was not the best, it was definitely close to the best privately & family owned (non-chain motels) that we have stayed.

Great old school motel off the beaten path (even for Route 66 travelers) with good service. Definitely not modern in decor, but has solid amenities (refrigerator in our room, laundry) and pretty easy access to dinner options.

The Carlin Villa was a small, clean, comfortable, and affordable motel that celebrated being on the original Rt. 66 road. It was convenient to town and shopping and restaurants without being IN town. It has a lovely outdoor picnic area. We would stay there again.

A nice, quiet place, a bit off the beaten path. I was looking for a place to stay before the eclipse, and here they were, not too far away, not charging ridiculous prices, and well worth the money!

Old but clean
The people who operate the motel were super nice. They respond quickly. They are more than willing to help. The motel is dated but quiet and comfortable. The problem was with the bathroom. The toilet was right beside the wall. The tub was slippery. My husband fell. Dangerous for us as an older couple. Otherwise a nice stay.
