Brad’s Dessert Inn in Holbrook Arizona on Route 66

The exterior and rooms are VERY cutely done with a nice western theme. The rooms were clean and well-maintained and we were provided with a very comfortable king size bed.

It is clear that the grounds were recently refurbished. The floors in the room were uneven and covered with a linoleum so you can feel the unevenness in the floors when you walk. The parking lot is a bit of a mess as the pavement is chewed up. Signs are posted CLEARLY stating that it is a one-way path and there is diagonal parking and it CLEARLY states “NO backing in” for specific safety reasons as the manager emphasized. But just as she was reinforcing what the signs clearly said, some woman decided to turn around and back in to a space, and then immediately pull out of the parking lot in the wrong direction.

One thing that was not mentioned, is that there is a freight train that runs directly past the motel every 20-30 minutes – ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT. So if you are not used to the sound of VERY LOUD TRAIN WHISTLE (Think My Cousin Vinny), then you are in for a rough night.
