Cute, cute property! There is a small courtyard where we enjoyed breakfast. The rooms were musty but clean. My family booked 3 rooms and it was a great meeting area for us all. We loved the sack "breakfast". We would definitely recommend

Catch a Sunrise at Sunset
Very nice lady at the front desk. She fixed my online booking mistake at no extra charge for a room change and had nothing less than a good positive attitude. Also, Had so many cute lil touches like chocolate kisses on the bedside table with a good night kiss note. The best breakfast bag for the morning and nice clean Keurig with Starbucks K cups. This place is so clean and comfortable!! I'll definitely stay again if ever in the area!

This cute Route 66 motel has been updated but retained all the retro touches. The staff was friendly and provided us with fresh baked pastries for our breakfast. We will be back!!

We love staying at this gem of a motel
We love staying here. Debbie and her husband are so friendly, kind and helpful. My little dog is always welcome with a nice grass area. They even provide a blanket for her to lay on to keep their bedding free of fur. The take and go breakfast is so good. The best danish, muffin and tangerines. This is my third stay this year and will continue staying at the Sunset Motel in the future.

Small hotel with very friendly staff. They don’t have a full breakfast but the pastries they gave us were better than a standard continental breakfast anyways. I’d stay here again.

From the outside it looks like a route 66 motel from the 60s. I was in room 2. It's updated with everything you expect in a hotel today. I appreciated the Keurig with Starbucks and the breakfast bag. The room was clean and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay. Room was comfortable and clean. Toilet a little dated. I guess there is no guest room cleaning service done because ours was not cleaned. We would stay there again. We were only there to sleep.

We travel between Abilene, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona frequently. We find motels on the Historic Route 66 to stay at if we need a motel. This motel is top notch.

This motel was established in 1959 and, despite modernizations and comforts which are appreciated, it maintains the charm of a bygone era. Such a charming motel and lovely staff. They are also very welcoming to pets and offer a lush green grass walking area along with bed covers specifically for the dogs. So thoughtful. Don't pass this place by if you are travelling through.

The check-in person was very sweet. The doggie area was squeaky clean, and the room was good. The beds are a bit over-firm. The property is well kept and pleasant. It felt very safe and we will stay there again. The check in person gave us a goodie bag with fruit and other excellent goodies. Very worth the cost. Thank you!

Bliss on "66"
I love this place! I have stayed numerous times and when possible adjust my schedule to make this a stop. It's so "Route 66" in feel and decor. The folks who run it are very nice and accommodating. Take away breakfast is always yummy. If you're traveling this way, make this your favorite stop!
