This is a true remnant of the Route 66 days. You drive right up to your door. The rooms have been upgraded but still retain the old 60's style decor. There was no vent fan in the bathroom but you could actually open your bathroom window! There was a sink both inside and outside the bathroom. The staff was very... More

Traveling on I-40 west needed a place that was low price and this motel is privately owned and operated and it is a good deal for the money. Free mini breakfast in the morning, rooms and motel are old but in good condition. Owner is very nice.

We just finished our second stay at the Sunset Motel. It has exceeded our expectation both times. We were on the road and called ahead that we would be late. The owner was waiting on us when we arrived with key in hand. The rooms are simple but extermely clean and the beds and pillows are very comfortable. The bathroom... More

The owner managers are rehabbing this great old hotel. Very comfortable bed and extremely clean bathroom! Looks like the old original Route 66 motels. Beautiful black and white cat guarding the lobby.

This was my first stay. It is an older style motel. Very quiet, clean, dated, but upgraded. Parking right in front of your unit. Staff efficient and friendly. Forget the continental breakfast. I bring my own anyway, so it wasn't important to me. Good internet, very small frig. I would stay here again. In my opinion much better than the... More

An old fashion motel on Route 66 - just like when I was a kid, but better! The owners are restoring this classic motel and their care is showing. In addition to great rates and large, comfortable rooms, this motel is very dog friendly. It rained the night before our arrival and extra towels and mats for the dogs were... More

Hotel room was nothing fancy but had a wonderful stay. The front desk people were very friendly and helpful. Gave us a quiet room which was spotlessly clean. No problem with having our small dog. The room we were in had two queen beds ours was comfortable. The breakfast was better than expected too bad we couldnt have dinner there... More

Thank you so much for your kind words. My Father, Mother, Brother and I built our small motel in the 60's. My wife, Debbie, and I still own and operate the motel today. To our knowledge, we are the only motel left on Route 66 that is still owned and operated by the original owners. The 60's represented a time... More

We arrived here after cycling 80 miles, two of us tired, hungry and looking for a good nights sleep. Sunrise offered this and much more, the owners were beyond good to us. Rooms were clean and had a homemade touch which was excellent. We have cycled from NY To CA and not received such kind and courteous service! Would stay... More
