"A fantastic stop on our drive from Las Vegas to Palm Springs! Incredibly friendly and helpful service, brilliant Route 66 souvenirs, a good selection of drinks and a few snacks. It was fun to see the old motel with its mid-century architecture too!"

"Great historical spot to do some sightseeing on historic route 66. Would advise not getting gas here as it’s quite expensive, but they have a cute gift shop and staff is friendly. Outside Porta potties for use. Be sure to check out Amboy crater down the road."

"A lot of history and an iconic stop my wife and I were excited about even though it's in the middle of nowhere. Now that Mr Okura is gone, it may struggle to stay afloat. It seems like there could be a lot of potential with the café for hungry travelers, but getting water appears to be a challenge so it's hard to say if it will ever open its doors. The motel portion will take a lot of time and money to be viable, but it would be an interesting place to stay. We hope they find a new owner with the passion and resources to bring it back to it's full potential. It appears to be a great place for car shows still."
