I have to say, I was really disappointed with this property. I was trying to go outside of the big hotel chains, and in the photos, Brad's looked really cute. But the exterior is shabby (asphalt falling apart, the whole thing needs to be repainted, overflowing trash cans visible, etc). And the interior looks cute but is not in great shape. (The shower has a major drip that went all night.). The internet was really slow. And there is a major and very busy train line right behind the property, which didn't really bother me but might bother some people. Other reviewers said there was breakfast here with a cute little breakfast room; on my visit, though, no breakfast room, no breakfast. So not sure what was going on with that. I think this place could be really cute, but its not there yet, and as a solo woman traveler, I wasn't super comfortable with it.
I stayed at Brad’s Desert Inn for one night and it was a lovely experience. The property has that classic Route 66 charm but everything felt well cared for and maintained. We didn’t get a chance to meet the staff since it was a no contact check-in, but the instructions we received were easy to follow.
Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The location is great as well, with easy access to restaurants, gas stations and cafes.
I’d happily stay here again!
Brad's is a vintage Route 66 type drive in motor hotel. It has been refurbished with some very nice interior work (I had a rustic wood cabin wall as my headboard). Staff and management were extremely personable and I enjoyed interacting with them as much as I did staying in this old school motel.
The motel is directly attached to a freight train track frequented by screaming train whistle full speed passings many times an hour and through the night. Do not stay here if that is disturbing to you. It sure ruined our stay. The rooms are clean and cute but ridiculously tiny and slipshod. In front is a busy two lane highway frequented by trucks and macho motorcycles too, as if the train wasn’t enough.
Room was very cute and clean. A few umps but management handled quickly. Room had everything we needed. Bed and pillows very comfortable.

Don’t let the shabby exterior fool you - rooms are refurbished with funky designs, clean and comfortable. Easy check in and out, and the mini fridge has a freezer that actually works!
I like that one of the historical properties is being brought back to life. There are trains that go close by but i didn't really mind. I would love to see the old sign restored to mid century style. Very reasonable price.
Found a new favorite local-owned motel. Perfect for Rt 66 exploration or for Petrified Forest NP. The room was somewhere between cool and quaint. I felt like I had invited myself over for a slumber party. Great stay. Will be back.
Rooms decorated with a theme, ours was James Dean. Parking in front of room, ground floor. Train stops blowing whistle at night, but vibrates the room. Advertised 2 beds, all rooms have a king bed only. No ice machine. Comfortable bed. Okay for one night, close to petrified forest national park.

Room was non-smoking, but smelled of smoke. Water damage in the bathroom. Staff and location are great!

There's no laundry on site but a laundromat very close.
Brad's Desert Inn is what I imagine to be the most authentic of the Route 66 motels from the heyday of auto travel. The motel is adorned with old signage and decor which makes for a little added fun. The room was cozy, bed comfortable and the price was affordable. However... if you are a light sleeper, this is NOT the place for you. You are literally a block away from a very active railroad and you can expect to hear horns all hours of the night which didn't bother me but made for a restless night for my wife. Other than than, all good vibes!
Like to visit Route 66 era hotels that have been remodeled or updated. Makes for a special experience when making a road trip. This hotel fit that bill! Would recommend.
If I could give this place a negative rating I would. It is a s—thole. i was under the impression from previous reviews that it was quaint and reminiscent of a vintage Route 66 motel.
It was dilapidated and unsafe. The door has a 1/4 inch gap on the bottom and a 1 inch hole (that would clearly allow rodents to enter the room). It was drafty, cold and the AC/Heat unit cycled on and off all night.
The bed was fairly comfortable. Pillows terrible. The train goes by at least twice an hour and the tracks are 50 feet away.
The hot water from the sink was dark rust in color when first turned on which caused me to question wherther it was sanitary.
