Cactus Inn

For genuine motel experience whilst travelling Route 66 the Cactus Inn in McLean was as authentic as it gets. Very basic but was clean and provided a good nights rest. Not much in the way of cafes or food establishments (at least on a Sunday night) however room is equipped with fridge, microwave and coffee machine which is adequate for self provision - local convenience store only two minute drive away. WIFI not the greatest however as pointed out on the many wee notes and bits of info left in the room they don’t actually advertise it. Comfortable stay in one of Route 66’s founding towns, which also hosts the renowned Devils Rope Museum - not something you experience everyday and worth the visit 👍

Our room was the best we've had on the entire time on Route 66. It was a lovely kitchenette with very nice art prints on the wall, by Renoir, deGas and Picasso. We sat outside on the chairs that every room had and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

1950's kitchy classic We're snowbirds that like staying at unique hotels as we drive from Phoenix to Maryland - especially ones with a 1950's Rt 66 vibe. This is a fun one. Important facts - its also clean and the staff were really friendly. Had a fridge and little cafe table in the "suite" that only cost us $10 more than the standard room. Worth it! Only one convenience store in town so get your meals to go and bring them with you.

The best hotel I stayed at on my cross country trip. Every room was themed as a different state in Route 66 and the staff was amazing and kind.

My go-to in McLean Very nice place to stay, I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Super cute hotel. Our room was “New Mexico” for Route 66. Would stay again if In the area. Two ladies who run the hotel are very nice and helpful.
