Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and had a comfortable queen-size bed with good water pressure and hot water, although the TV worked fine. However, I felt that some areas needed improvement, like the dining options. The service was decent but could be more consistent. The location was convenient, close to the airport and fast food eateries, but lacked some charm and character.
The hotel is ideally located by the Statue of Liberty holding the Route 66 logo, in the desert area, offering proximity to restaurants and a great local restaurant. The rooms feature a queen-size bed where the TV worked fine, with good water pressure and hot water. The service, particularly the night shift staff, along with housekeeping and laundry assistance, was exceptional. The dining experience included tasty sandwiches and 'scrambled' eggs. The facilities are well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay. While the price reflects good value for money, there are slight downsides in terms of additional fees for certain amenities.
