    Huge room
    Minh S.

    We love hotels on Route 66 because we can park our car right in front of our room beside imaginary of how glorious it was in the old days. This one is a gem. Big room in a safe quiet place with lights on everywhere. Bed is very comfortable. Room are cleaned. Whatever we need they have provided already in the room for us. We will definitely come back whenever we drive across the country again. By the way, I will trade in staying at Flamingo Inn with any big chain hotels without a second thoughts.

    Decent room at a very fair price. Nothing fancy, just a decent place to sleep and clean up for traveling. I'd recommend this Flamingo Inn to anybody who travels without being a perfectionist, definitely not 4 Star, but good for what we needed. Saving a few bucks never hurt anyone either. Would stay here again anytime.

    Stayed in room 106 on 11-22-2021.  Front desk was fast and friendly and offered me water. Room was good, with a fridge, microwave and coffee. The property had ice.  Shower was hot, but the pressure wasn't great, and the tub ran slow.  The bed and pillows were delicious, and the bed had an actual blanket on it.  Yeah!  I'd like to see the property put a "watch your step" sign on the door ... I caught myself from a fall off the step. The night cost $50.31. Grade:  B Would stay again?  Yes

    Well, the old bird may not be the glorious gem she was in her heyday when she was known as the most modern motel in Elk City, but she is comfortable, clean, and a joy to stay at. The gentleman who greeted me on arrival was pleasant and helpful. The room was clean, and the heat worked well and quietly. Got a great night's sleep and woke up just blocks away from the Route 66 museum where I started the day before getting back on the road.

    What a gem!! While passing through Elk City, Oklahoma on our trip from AZ to Ohio we decided to follow the reviews and stay at the Flamingo Inn. It was a step back in time and brought back childhood memories. We were a late book and a late night arrival, but the the night desk person didn't seem to mind (he was quick and to the point). The room was clean and the bed was comfortable! The price was great too! There is a cool transportation museum within walking distance from the hotel. It was closed while we were there but we enjoyed the Rt. 66 photo op.

    Please turn on the air conditioning before we arrive. We called ahead and made a reservation. If they know you are coming they should turn on the air conditioning in the room on a day that is nearly 100 degrees. It takes hours to cool off. Other than that this was a really quiet hotel and the owners were really nice people. Everything was clean and the price is reasonable.

    Came in last night after driving through Amarillo. Checked in at 1:30 am no problem, the room was fantastic, super comfy bed and I was able to fall right to sleep. Huge tv and all the typical amenities. Great water pressure in the shower in the morning to go along with the coffee inside. Almost didn't want to leave and booked another night but I have to continue my trip! These are the hidden gems you search for when searching for places to stay. Great and friendly staff on top of all that. Will stay again when I'm in the area!

    We stayed here on our way from Phoenix to Illinois as it was the perfect hotel basically smack dab in the middle. We couldn't have been more happy with our experience. We arrived around 8-9pm, just before the Mexican restaurant next door closed. We were able to grab dinner and a beer before settling in to our stay for the night which was convenient! Our room was clean and the beds were pretty comfy!! The showers were hot which was awesome too, perfect after driving for 12 hours! The couple at the front desk were awesome but be prepared to eat before coming here cause they were making Indian food that smelled soo good that it made you wish you could have some. We loved this spot so much that we stayed on our return trip too! The town was super cute too! We ended up grabbing some coffee and ago toast at a cute coffee shop in town called Major Bean - also recommended. There was also a Route 66 museum down the street that we would have checked out if we had more time! Would stay again for sure! ** oh and you can't beat that price either!

    Love this swing!!

    If you are driving through Elk City on the 40 and need to overnight I highly recommend this motel. Spotless, new tv, microwave, refrigerator coffee pot. New shower curtain and furniture all appears new. The price is great, they are dog friendly, a huge plus for me. There is great streets to walk your pet behind the hotel. There is a Mexican restaurant that makes great food and awesome quick to go service. Plus the ice cream place makes this a no brained to stay here. The owners were very friendly, concerned and helpful. They have lovely plants all around and a cute little outdoor swing. Ps- I saw an earlier review complaining about lack of plugs and computer outlets. Well that is not an issue anymore!!

    Such a great find on the 66! Rooms were cheaper than most places in town. The owners are super nice and friendly, the rooms are clean and quiet, and the best part? They have rooms with 3 beds!!! Three guys traveling right now and we figured we'd have to get 2 rooms out figure out creative sleeping options (I like to sprawl out at night, so sue me). Also there's some commerce nearby. really the only thing I didn't like was that they put their toilet paper rolls on backwards

    Nice stay

    See all

    I had such a wonderful experience at Holiday Inn Express! From the moment I arrived, I was truly…read moreimpressed by the level of service. Every single employee went above and beyond, especially Juanita, Erica, and Ralph. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests. One moment that really stood out: I called the front desk but my room phone wasn't working. Instead of ignoring it, Ralph actually came to my door to see how he could help and noticed the phone issue himself. That level of attentiveness and follow-through is rare and greatly appreciated. The hotel is extremely clean, and the breakfast was amazing, it was fresh, well-stocked, and far better than expected. I'm a Hilton Diamond member and have stayed in some of the best hotels around the world, and honestly, the level of service and cleanliness here has been outstanding. They are currently doing renovations, but it has not been disruptive at all. If anything, it shows they're investing in making the property even better. I will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

We made a reservation…read moreover the phone and informed them that we would be traveling with my husbands service animal. We show up and check in and are informed that we have to sign a service dog loss of revenue form. Which is legal. I let the lady at the desk I believe her name was Juanita know that this is not legal. My husband wanted me to make a complaint so I called customer service. The gentleman i spoke to confirmed that I should not have had to sign a loss of revenue form and that the general manager at that location would reach out to me. We waited and never heard from anybody. The next morning we are getting ready to check out and the general manager is still not there so we wait a few more hours. Finally at around 9am I go to the desk again and ask for the manager. She comes out and says shes been busy and apologizes for all the issues and says she will give us "points" we had already canceled out reservation for our return trip the following week because of how embarrassed my husband was. I was informed by the gentleman when I had called customer service to call back if the manager hadn't rectified, but when I called customer service again I was told that they decided to side with the general manager even though she was not even at the hotel the entire time we were there. We will definitely not be staying with holiday inn again since we had such a bad experience. Its horrible that IHG would allow a manager to discriminate towards service dogs that are medical needed.

They didn't send me an email as to why, nor did they give me a reason why in person or offer to let me make a new reservation.

She didn't offer a refund, and when I asked for one, said she couldn't issue it. I contacted the third party app to resolve the issue for me, and they told me the hotel was now refusing to speak to them as well to avoid having to refund me. Worst experience I've had with a hotel, wouldn't waste my time with this business. They're unprofessional, rude dishonest, and thieves, trying at all costs to avoid giving me my money back.

In addition to that, the lovely woman who checked me in at the front was very sweet, great customer service and accommodated me by remedying the issue. I had come for a one night stay and when I was heading towards my room, there was paint peeling off the wall and what it looked like was water damage on the tiles above, located on the ceiling. That was worrisome but when I went into this particular room, the light switches were damaged (I neglected to photo them), the door was not secure in the frame, the hinge that helped hold the door in place had screws coming out and the lock had missing screws while being loose. Honestly, it looked like someone tried to break into the room. I am shocked that they would rent it out to someone without repairing all of those things, let alone fix the hallway. I took photos to show the front desk lady and I mentioned that I did not feel safe. She immediately changed my room without an issue. I am not sure I would stay the night there again to be honest. Again, the front desk gal was super kind but the rooms, I wasn't too thrilled with.
