Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is phenomenal. I feel like I had a genuine Route 66 experience. The staff are friendly, courteous and make you feel welcomed. The rooms have a 1960s feel to them with mid century modern style furniture and a vintage radio which plays vintage music and jingles from back then. The music ranges from big band to rock music. The jingles between songs are fun to listen to. The only modern appliances in the room are the AC and the television but why watch television when you can listen to the vintage radio programs!!! You don't just get a place to rest when you come to Roadrunner Lodge. You get an experience. The classic cars and the souvenir shop in the lobby are an awesome touch. If you get a chance to visit the Roadrunner Lodge, I highly recommend it. You will be glad you did.

On our way South
Was a fun experience overall. The folks next to us stayed up all night talking which was somewhat disturbing, apparently the walls are not insulated. It is as advertised “a 50’s motel along Route 66. Parking was plentiful and convenient as we were pulling a small trailer. Probably will not stay there on future trips.

Excellent atmosphere brillian service
This place was amazing done up like it was the 60s all the furniture inside was mid century modern. Even had a 20 minute loop of old radio from the 60s. Right on route 66 i wish i had an old buick or some land yacht of a convertible to park in the spot out front. Some of the rooms even had an original magic fingers beds ( wife and i opted for a king size bed, magic fingers are queens)

Overall, a very nice stay at the property. The area that the property is in is being gentrified so it is not an a pristine area, but the hotel seems safe and is very clean and updated. The owner greeted us and he was very nice and gave us a history of the property.
