If I was a 22-year-old traveling student again, this place would have been great - as it would fit my low-budget, romantic historic traveling bugg. But I was a 33-year-old lawyer driving on Route 66 from Chicago to L.A. when I stayed here, and it was very mediocre. I'll give two good reasons to stay here: the price, and the... More
