    3.5 Bones

    Friendly hotel, decent accommodations, nice breakfast. Kind of outdated but can’t beat the price and couldn’t ask for more. One night stay was fine. Glad we chose that over the $162 other options across the street.

    Easy access from freeway

    Easy access off I-40, friendly check-in staff. Clean rooms.

    Pleasant Convenient Location

    Clean facilities, spotless room, quiet surroundings. Excellent value! Completely booked by early evening. Small artificial turf potty place but fields beyond suitable for walking. Easy on/off 40 with the usual quick food places close by.

    Small room but enough for me and small dog

    A/C was kinda loud. Bathroom floor was slippery. Bed was comfortable. And I was put close to the exit as requested.

    Great Value

    I probably give this hotel three bones but for the fact that it is a great value. It’s about $100 less than the nearby La Quinta and Holiday Inn. Staff was helpful and friendly, a few quibbles here and there, but I gladly stay there again.

    Not the best

    But not the worst. 1st floor room. Small pee pad for pups with poop bags and a gravel area where no one cleaned up their dog’s mess (what else is new). Comfortable bed, minimal breakfast. Fridge and microwave plugged into rigged powerbar. Adequate for a night stay with your pup and cheap dog fee.

    Nice place to stay

    We had originally planned to stay at the Super 8 but found the room disgustingly dirty. Luckily they refunded our payment and BringFido helped in a new search. We were tired and it was late so didn't have time to do any research but our Fido agent, Joye, was so kind and helpful to read reviews for us so we could find an acceptable place. It was much cleaner and had a nice little dog-dedicated space outside the back door. There was also a vacant lot across the street where we could go walking.

    Better choices nearby

    We thought we’d try a different motel this trip, but we’re disappointed. No soap, no place to unpack since there were NO drawers, cracked window, loose railing and a “don’t bother” breakfast. Seemed clean enough though.

    Good for Value

    Nothing fancy. I think they are in the middle of renovating as things had unpainted spots. The beds were comfy and for only a $10 pet fee it worked great as a stopover for us.

    Adequate but disappointing

    This hotel/motel fell short of expectations. For instance, the pet area was extremely small, the poop disposal full and out of bags. When I wiped a little water off the floor I was surprised by the amount of dirt that showed on my paper towel—,just examples of mediocre maintenance.

    Great location!

    We had a very comfortable night. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely stay here again!

    Highly Recommended!

    Located right on historic Rte 66, this hotel was a great find. The staff were super friendly, knew my dogs' names, and were very welcoming. The hotel itself was on par with a Hampton Inn, including a full breakfast, and also had an indoor pool and hot tub. Will definitely stay here again when passing through this area!

    Cozy

    Locally owned HISTORIC hotel and not a huge corporation. Room was smaller than average, but just fine. Yes, there's an extension cord. I didn't care. It was VERY clean and that's what mattered. Staff was professional and friendly.

    Easy place to stay

    Check in was quick and easy with a very friendly front desk. The room was a bit outdated but it was clean and comfortable.

    Nice hotel!

    Super nice place with a nice little breakfast and a beautiful pool I wish I’d had time to swim in. Got in exhausted and late. Very clean and welcoming.

    Just about OK for the price

    This was a low-cost option also near the Tesla Supercharger. It was fine. Two things I would note were first, that the proximity to trucks at the large gas station was bothersome as they idled, especially as the window did not seal properly. Second, as was noted on the review on another site, the electrics are not to any code I am familiar with: everything, including a fridge and TV old enough that it will have a reasonable power draw, is run of extension cables and adapters, and while I had no problems, this is not a great sign. But, the place was fine and dog-friendly places on a road trip are good in themselves, and I found the staff friendly and professional enough that I give this a solid three star: you will see why you are paying less, but they did what they said they would, and you can't fault that.

    Sketchy

    Front staff was very nice. The inside was outdated and creepy. The microwave and refrigerator were hooked up to extension cords nailed to the wall. Came across other guest outside screaming and cussing. I was ready to get out of there and didn’t sleep at all.

    Great Hotel!!

    This was one of the best hotels we have stayed in, in a long time! The beds were very comfortable. The room was clean and smelled clean for having been a pet room. The staff was really friendly and very accommodating for the fact that I was traveling with my mother that has a hard time walking around. And they had a door painted to look like the Tardis (Whovian nerd win!).

    Good Pet Friendly Hotel

    Second time staying here - Traveling from Fort Worth, TX to Flagstaff, AZ with two dogs, I did lots of research on good places to travel with the dogs and this hotel seemed to hit all the must haves I was looking for and had attractive rates.

    This hotel is older but it is clear the staff takes very good care of the facility. It's not 5-star hotel, but it is clean, quiet, and pet-friendly.

    The building is landscaped with rock and there is only a very small square of astro-turf for pet bio breaks.

    There are only two floors, but it should be noted there is no elevator. If you are carrying a suitcase and managing your leashed pet, the floors are somewhat challenging but not a deal breaker. The rooms were clean, the bed was comfy.
