When returning home from a Route 66 tour, Chicago to Santa Monica, we located the Home Town Inn on line the previous evening while laying the route into our GPS computer program. The appearance of the motel, in the online picture is true to life. It appears clean and well kept, which it is. The motel was a welcome respite after being on the road for some ten hours. The motel staff were kind and helpful, check in was quick and easy. Best of all, the room rates are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the motel. The room we were assigned was close to the office, had an inner hallway entrance as well as and an outside door. This made getting our bags really easy. Our room was large comfortable and well furnished. We were in need of laundry facilities and a washer and dryer are available to the residents of the motel. When asked about a place to get a good supper, they recommended 3 restaurants. The restaurant we went to was friendly, with awesome food, as the motel staff told us. Breakfast is provided, including Belgian Waffles, which the owner's wife fixed for us. The coffee was hot, fresh and tasted like coffee. Cereal, toast fresh fruit were also provided. All-in-all, if you are traveling, and Texahoma, OK is on your route, or just want a get-away-spot. The staff is friendly, the rooms are large and well furnished, and breakfast is provided. Should you visit, enjoy your...
Read moreWe stopped at Home Town Inn after a long drive moving our daughter to Nevada. The inn looked inviting, so we decided to stop for the night. The lobby was charming so we thought we made a great decision. We were checked in by an older guy who continued to go on and on about the rules of the room, we had to turn off all the lights, the heater, etc and repeated this instruction to emphasize the importance. We assured him we would. He went on to explain that his “associate” was the chief of police and that there was absolutely no smoking in the room, and we assured him that there would be no smoking, this information was delivered in a passive aggressive posture bordering on a threat. Upon entering the room, we found the TV didn’t work even after checking switch and the plugs but decided not to disturb the desk. Also upon entering the room our room phone was ringing, it was the desk attendant telling us that our uhaul could not be parked in front of the room, and to park across the parking lot. For all the rules, the condition of the room did not warrant all the extra behavior from the front desk. The carpet was worn with holes near the bathroom, missing trim, unrepaired water damage in the bathroom, broken furniture and old mattresses with outdated bedding. We would probably never stay again. It...
Read moreDebated driving further but thought I'd check it out first & Wayne at the front desk was nice enough to show me a room. I never saw any sign of roaches or bedbugs like some of the older reviewers posted & believe me, I turned back the bed, turned the lights off & on, etc. because that's DEFINITELY a deal-breaker for me !!! That said, you'll easily spend 2-3x more for a nicer hotel & undoubtedly have finer accommodations with more amenities, but if you're just passing through, it'll do. Yes, it's a little rough around the edges ~ "clean" but not spotless, dated furnishings, bathroom & vanity could use fresh hardware, etc. Here & there it needed a little spackle & drywall repair. But, it wasn't gross & the toilet looked brand new. Drive right up to your own exterior door which I much prefer. Fridge/micro. Free wifi w/decent signal. It was over 100 degrees & although the air wasn't already on, the room did cool down within an hour. Train tracks across the street so be prepared for that but I travel w/earbuds so I was able to sleep fairly well. I wouldn't call it a destination stop, but certainly OK for a weary traveler. Ask to see your room first to make sure it'll...
