No worries with management or cleanliness, but something about this place just did not fit.... Perhaps we were spoilt with Route66 lovers, this has litlle to do with it, except that it happens to be on it. Went elsewhere for another nite in Tulsa. More

My wife and I stayed here as part of our Route 66 honeymoon trip. The neon sign is great. Unfortunately not much else was. The service was poor. The owners were not friendly and did not appear to have any interest in Route 66. The sink in our room leaked all over the floor. I would recommend taking a picture... More

Myself and a friend are staying here tonight. Yes I am writing this inside the room ! Our room is very dirty and disgusting. The bath is extremely dirty & the furniture in the room is dusty. The feeling is not nice. I would recommend not staying here at all. You get what you pay for ! The owners of... More

Me and my brother were doing route 66, and though this hotel/motel was $50 US per night it certainly felt that or less. The sheets had stains, the curtains cigarette holes burnt in them. The aircon wan't on when we arrived which was a shock been one of Tulsa's hottest days on record 112F when we arrived at 6pm. I... More

Rooms were big and good for a step back in time. I love mom & pop motels, and this one is in great shape. The area is kinda sketchy, but overall a good stay! Could be a little cleaner, but for what I paid I won't complain! More

I really enjoyed staying in this motel. Stayed here on my 66 trip and this motel is a classic. Great neon, clean room and free internet. Price was very good as well. Would stay here again. More

This historic gem along old Route 66 provides clean affordable kitsch comfort. The rooms were immaculate, and the owner and family are super nice. We were lucky to get the last available room because of a cancellation. We slept well on the comfortable king-size bed. This is an older-style hotel which is part of its charm. It has been featured... More

"Historic Route 66 Motel", but it's very run down and in need of serious repairs. Looks ok from the outside, and the Neon sign works, but don't stay there. I was worried all night long, and it was a very long, noisy night. More

Desert Hills Motel is along historic route 66 and located 4.5 miles from downtown Tulsa. The motel is operated by an Indian family. The neon desert sign, some paintings, and the structure of the building bring memories from the 60's. But that's all. The rooms although clean, they are old and with zero noise insulation. You can hear everything and... More

This motel was okay, no frills, just your basic rest your head motel. It was clean, and smelled good. I was a little worried about the area knowing that 11th street is known for its suspicious activity, but the only thing I saw was at midnight the night we arrived and that was up the road a bit. Other than... More
