The Carlin Villa was a small, clean, comfortable, and affordable motel that celebrated being on the original Rt. 66 road. It was convenient to town and shopping and restaurants without being IN town. It has a lovely outdoor picnic area. We would stay there again.

Great old school motel off the beaten path (even for Route 66 travelers) with good service. Definitely not modern in decor, but has solid amenities (refrigerator in our room, laundry) and pretty easy access to dinner options.

We stayed her for an event and it was close to town just what we needed. The property is older and could use some updating, but it was clean the bed was comfortable and the rooms a very large. I didn't hear the neighbors or doors closing all night like most chain hotels. We parked right in front of our window and had no issues with anything.

We were very skeptical when booking for one wedding night. Honestly, it was way less sketchy than we'd anticipated. The gal at the front desk was INCREDIBLE and I immediately felt like we'd made a good choice. We had a king room in the back of the far west building and it was very quiet, overlooking a pond. The building and rooms are very outdated and in need of remodeling, HOWEVER: our room and the building were very clean, homey, and perfect! I truly would stay here again if ever in the area. I definitely give it an overall score of 5/5.

Old but clean

The people who operate the motel were super nice. They respond quickly. They are more than willing to help. The motel is dated but quiet and comfortable. The problem was with the bathroom. The toilet was right beside the wall. The tub was slippery. My husband fell. Dangerous for us as an older couple. Otherwise a nice stay.

Troy

Disliked: Amenities
The place felt safe, well lit, everything worked as it should. Staff were pleasant but did speak to them that much. AC was very loud, kept kicking off and on a lot, like it could not keep up. Room looked like it was from the 70 with just a little Route 66 decor. Had a rocking chair, I liked. Had a stuff chair with bright red cover over it. Bathtub faucet pipe was sticking out away from the wall 4 inches, like you could see four inches of pipe. No usb ports in room and if you hit the lights the outlets around the bed shut off so you can use them for charges. Had an ice machine and coffe in the lobby which I liked. The entire property needs updated. But with all that said, not a bad place to stay for low cost. It might have been out of date, dog scratches on the door, but it was clean.
