The cactus Inn was a wonderful experience for my wife and I. It was a 39th anniversary and it took us back to the days of our youth. Excellent staff and pleasant location.
Property was so Route 66! Loved it. Room was spacious and clean. Beds very comfortable. Staff was friendly. Property is dog friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly.
No frills motel, but very clean and comfortable. Perfect stop on a long road trip, when all that's really important is a clean comfortable bed and a good shower. The Cactus Inn fit that need for us perfectly.
Clean room, great staff, easiest check in I've ever had.
Great place to stop for over night when you are on a road trip.
Comfy bed and pillows( a must for my husband).
The room was clean and very large. Which was great as I was traveling route 66 with a 7 and 16 year old! It's one of our new favorite stops, We will be back
Cactus Inn is an enjoyable stopover in the Route 66 journey. It’s a very quiet and homey place, feeling safe and decorated with lots of fun historical photos, memorabilia, unique art of the west. My room was clean and equipped with an apartment sized fridge/freezer and customary microwave etc. Staff was quick to respond with help as needed. And there are even a few Adirondack chairs to sit and chat or enjoy the sunset. I’ll stop over again
Property was decently clean and the bed was comfortable. However, all the wood surfaces were sticky, not to the touch, but if you sat anything on them, it stuck. All rooms were full and the parking spaces are very narrow, which was an iffy situation with all the big trucks in the area.
I am more than halfway through driving the route 66 from California to Illinois. This was a gem of a place. I arrived late in the evening called the number posted on the door and a very nice person. Gave me instructions about getting in my room. I booked through Expedia, but was dealing with a small roadside motel. It was so nice to have the individual interaction. The room was clean and everything was great on my drive. I will stay here again if I’m going through the area.
Last minute, as we were driving home from vacation we just needed a place to stay the night. Booked it about 5 hours out. We arrived after midnight. This is an old motel-office door was locked, but our room key was in the key drop (yes a key!) the room was decorated with a vintage vibe, or maybe that was the original furniture? Either way it was cute! Everything was clean and tidy. Finding breakfast in McLean proved to be more difficult, but our night at the Cactus Inn was good.
