This wasn't our first stay here, but because of the location a good memories here we returned. The rooms were exceptionally clean and relatively quiet. Close proximity to many food choices is a major plus.take the 6 minute drive to My Mom's for breakfast, you won't be disappointed. The staff (everyone) are awesome people, friendly,helpful, and knowledgeable. Thx Imperial!

Cool restored boutique motel on the old Route 66. Clean and comfy rooms. A little noisy on Central at night but A/C units will drown out the noise. Eateries and bar next to the pool. Would stay there again.

Our room was very clean and really cute. Staff was great too for check in and out. The only downside was there was no elevator for all our heavy luggage so be sure to ask if you can get a room downstairs if needed.

First priority in a motel -- cleanliness -- and my room was spotless. Convenient location, kind staff, cool decor, and good value made this a great stay. Would definitely return. FYI, the location is right off of a busy street, so those who are very sensitive to outside noise should take that into account.
