“Perfect stop on a cross-country roadtrip!”

Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

Was driving from the east coast out to California and this was one of our favorite stops. Awesome owners (who were very understanding of our late arrival), beautifully restored rooms, and altogether a very enjoyable experience! Everyone who was staying there gathered outside in the evenings for drinks and conversations, which we assume happens frequently. Make this one of your... More

“Best motel I've stayed in”

After a staying in a number of Motels in my life, I approached this one with some reservations. What a pleasant surprise. It was clean, comfortable, everyone was exceptionally friendly. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

“Nancy & Kevin have got it so right !”

Authentic, spotless, friendly and with THE best welcome. Being from the UK, one thing I had been missing was a good cup of tea - until we arrived at The Blue Swallow. Nancy knows how to satisfy the English taste for tea. Sadly we could only stay one night but we were so glad we had booked well in advance,... More

“I felt like family!”

Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

I went out of my way to try this motel and I was not disappointed. It was meticulously restored to the Route 66 of the past. It was a great experience....I would love to go back with the rest of my family. The owners were friendly and welcoming! The room was very clean and had a very comfy bed.

This place deserves all the positive accolades it gets. The rooms are superior. The beds are most comfortable. Can you imagine a car port to keep your treasured ride safe for the night?

“We'll be back..”

As soon as we saw it, we knew we wanted to spend a night there, so this year we made plans to drive Route 66 back to Kansas again and we booked a room. So glad we did. The motel was charming and...
