Large smoke free room, comfortable bed. Located on old Rte 66. Carpet, beds & walls clean. But the motel has seen better days ...in years past. Eastern wing, fully half of the rooms, closed due to fire that destroyed the last 3 units. So parking spaces were plentiful. Still, my full size PU stuck out into the driveway. The room... More

Moved to this motel after a disaster at previous nights stay. Pleasantly surprised by the large comfortable room. Motel is well off freeway but easy access return to I 40 and direct route north to Bullhead City or Laughlin. This motel location is insulated from the noise of trains passing through Needles. Facility is well maintained with plenty of parking.... More

This was a correct motel for one night. The place was a little old, but it was clean, so that was important. The woman at the reception at night was super friendly and the pool area was nice as well. Free coffee in the rooms as well as wi-fi. No complaints, clean and you get what you pay for. I... More

I stayed here on the last night of a cross-country road trip and it was just what I wanted. Very cheap, quiet and the man at the front desk gave me my choice of rooms. I enjoy the no-frills old motel style and this was just what I was looking for. Good AC on a very hot night and room... More

This hotel is OK, but the pool was dirty and it was not even cool, the temp of the pool must be around 90 degrees, not refreshing at all. The bathroom is dirty and I didn't even want to take a shower. The flat screen TV is nice, the room is big the air conditioner works great and the bed... More

Tourists may be scared off by older motels like this, but experienced road warriors will appreciate the history (Built in 1950) and comfort of the large rooms that come with fridge, 27" color cable television, microwave and coffee maker. With only about 25 rooms it's on the small side but that's a bonus in that all the rooms are ground... More

We stayed in this motel as a quick stopover before heading to Palm Springs. Of course Needles itself has nothing extraordinary to offer - just vast scrubland and miles of isolated road. The motel room was a double, decently sized. Cleanliness left a bit to be desired - the bathroom was nothing short of foul....the shower was a mere trickle... More

We chose this motel as it was in our Route 66 guide, it is pet-friendly, and it has a pool. It was 101 degrees at 10 at night so when we walked in our room it was at least 90 degrees and the bathroom was a hot box. But the air conditioner was good enough to cool the room down... More
