    We Really Dug This Place

    Remember y’all, if you have a small dog or a big dog, it’s your responsibility to clean up after your pet at these hotels/motels, not theirs. And in this case, this cute little old school motel, is on Route 66, is nothing fancy but for a place to crash with your dog for a night or two, it’s perfect. There’s a green space in the back but it lacks bags and a garbage. But pick up your dogs poop and dispose of it anyway! The rooms are small and have the essentials. The staff was very nice. We’ll stay here again.

    Nice location

    Historic Route 66 motel but has modern updates in room, vinyl floors, and a nice grassy area across the parking lot.

    Great experience!

    We loved the clean rooms.. All on the first floor so that makes an easy in and out with our black lab. Breakfast in the retro fitted lobby was excellent. Great experience, great choice for an overnight during a 2,000 mile trip!

    Good place

    Late night check-in and a good spot to stop for some rest. BringFido made checking availability and check-in easier than most hotels. Clean, quiet, great shower. Reasonable price.

    Wonderful stay

    A must stay here place. Dogs loved it. We did too. Lots of Retro old Route 66 charm in the room as well as around the office area. Floors were wood look laminate so there weren’t a lot of smells from other dogs in the room and green space. Loved the Burma-Shave signs, old gas pumps, old cars. Enjoyed the outdoor hot tub. Was able to order dinner delivered to our room through delivery app. Overall we had a great stay at BW Route 66 Rail Haven

    Not the best

    Room was okay. We booked a family room, but found out when we arrived that pet rooms are only 2 doubles. Ended up having to get another room and was still charged family room rate. Not in the best area in town either, but never felt unsafe. Was fine for what it was.

    Nice place

    Quiet, clean room. Breakfast was better than you normally get, when included in the rate. Green space out back.

    We loved it

    The motel was clean and fresh, and the staff were all friendly. Was there for 5 days for a dog show. Even though it is located on a busy intersection it was quiet and had great safe greenways for my dog. Definitely would stay again!

    Great Location

    Cute retro motel fully accommodated our 2 dogs. Fortunately, a new vet clinic opened across the street who were able to get our pup in and treat a bout of pancreatitis successfully. Safe neighborhood, good free morning breakfast. Very nice staff members.

    Great customer service!

    We were just passing through for the night, but the staff was very friendly and able to accommodate our two large dogs. Room and grounds were very clean.

    My kind of place for my dogs. All ground rooms. Grassy area 30’ away. Very clean room. My boys enjoyed the experience. Easy check in and check out. The breakfast was better then most. Stop here with your dog. The wife will like it too.

    GREAT STAY!!!!

    The guy at the front was nice and the room was impeccably clean! Super cute/cool hotel and we slept great! The pet rooms are on the back side, so you don't hear traffic in the front anyway. The dogs had their own bed and the grassy area back where the pet rooms are is spacious and clean. We will definitely stay here from now on when passing through!

    Second time was just as nice as the first

    Cool place. All ground level rooms. Dog rooms on back side with large grassy area. As far as I know all pet rooms are double bed but comfortable stay for us and our pup

    Great Stay!

    We booked a room online when we were about an hour away. The front desk clerk was so nice. The hotel was great! Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. We really loved the nostalgia of the place. Breakfast was wonderful. Sausage, eggs, biscuits, gravy, cereal, bagels, etc. We would definitely stay again.

    Does not accept dogs over 50 lbs

    Stated policy is incorrect when you call hotel. And rude front desk. Don't book here.
