I stayed at Brad’s Desert Inn for one night and it was a lovely experience. The property has that classic Route 66 charm but everything felt well cared for and maintained. We didn’t get a chance to meet the staff since it was a no contact check-in, but the instructions we received were easy to follow. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The location is great as well, with easy access to restaurants, gas stations and cafes. I’d happily stay here again!

Found a new favorite local-owned motel. Perfect for Rt 66 exploration or for Petrified Forest NP. The room was somewhere between cool and quaint. I felt like I had invited myself over for a slumber party. Great stay. Will be back.

Little gem of Holbrook

Great little motel. Very comfortable and accommodating. Chairs outside of room to sit and listen to the train and relax. They kept the rooms almost 100% original.

Excellent hotel! We were in the James Dean room during our Route 66 trip. Area to sit outside. Lovely staff. Room a little dated but clean, we deliberately chose to stay here given its appearance and within Route 66.

Authentic Route 66 experience

This is definitely the place to stay to get that Route 66 feeling. Park right outside your room, and enjoy plenty of entertainment on the tv or fast wifi. Most importantly, enjoy the nicely cleaned room.

Rooms decorated with a theme, ours was James Dean. Parking in front of room, ground floor. Train stops blowing whistle at night, but vibrates the room. Advertised 2 beds, all rooms have a king bed only. No ice machine. Comfortable bed. Okay for one night, close to petrified forest national park.

It's an old Route 66 motel that hasn't been renovated in a while. It was clean but a bit noisy as it's not far from the railway. The bed was confortable.

Route 66 plus A LOT of Trains

Brad's Desert Inn is what I imagine to be the most authentic of the Route 66 motels from the heyday of auto travel. The motel is adorned with old signage and decor which makes for a little added fun. The room was cozy, bed comfortable and the price was affordable. However... if you are a light sleeper, this is NOT the place for you. You are literally a block away from a very active railroad and you can expect to hear horns all hours of the night which didn't bother me but made for a restless night for my wife. Other than than, all good vibes!

Awesome!

Brads was great. It’s older and small but we were very comfortable. Everything was clean. We stayed in the James Dean room. Trains go by frequently but the owner has ear plugs. She was a delight as well. I would stay there again.

It was an old property but had been updated. I had booked it because it was iconic on Route 66. It was a comfortable night's stay and we got what we paid for. I wasn't looking for luxury, and I stayed there based on the price and the artfutlness of the place.

We are deep sleepers so train noise didn’t bother us but it woke me up in the morning!! It is a great place to spend the night if you are deep sleeper!! Bed is comfortable and clean!! I would prefer floor is cleaner!! Rest is as same as any other hotels!

I liked the look and feel of the property. It had a lot of route 66 themes and such including the ac temp being set at 66 which was a little funny. My only complaint is that they could maybe use some better pillows and some better curtains for blocking sunlight. Other than that it's a good place to sleep than hit the road again early morning

Place was great. Kitschy. Very Route 66 vibe. Cool spot, good food nearby. Bed was impressively comfortable. High end. My only complaint was the train. Thing was loud and close. But I slept through most of it. If the train wasn't there blaring all night I'd give Brad's a 9/10 easily.
