One of the Worst Stays on Route 66 – A Historic Letdown
We were so excited to stay at this historic hotel, especially as vintage lovers traveling Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, this ended up being the most expensive hotel of our entire trip—and by far the worst.
We arrived tired but happy after traveling on motorcycles, just wanting to rest. Instead, we were bombarded with extremely loud music from a surprise “queer party” that no one had warned us about.
The thumping bass went on and on, making rest completely impossible.
It wasn’t just the lobby that was off-limits for a quiet moment—we couldn’t enjoy the bar either, and even outside the hotel, the music was blaring. There was nowhere to escape it. For a place with such rich history and atmosphere, this felt like a disrespect to its legacy.
It didn’t stop there. My travel companion got food poisoning from a pork sandwich at the food truck on site—beware. In the room, my curtain literally fell on me, and the coffee machine didn’t work at all. Basic maintenance seems to be an afterthought.
We had high expectations for this historic property, but it’s clear it’s not being run with the care it deserves. The charm and vintage appeal were completely overshadowed by poor service, lack of communication, and bad management.
Truly disappointed. Route 66 travelers and history buffs: spend your money elsewhere until this place gets its act together.
