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.

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

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

The room was nice and clean. I just stayed for one night passing through with my companion dog. It is nicely lit outside, and the television and cable programming were excellent. Alls I want, usually, is a nice shower, bed and TV, and this provided everything. I wish I had more time to stay in the town, as the route 66 museum up the road looks interesting. Many restaurants and stores nearby for most interests. I look forward to staying there again.

See all

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. The lady I spoke to was incredibly rude and gave me an attitude right off the bat, she even walked away as I was talking to her. She was like this for our entire interaction. 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. I would give this hotel 0 stars if I could.

The place is old they say they are making improvements but I don't know. Even the simple task of cleaning, they can't do that. Staff are not friendly at all and into their own thing. Heater has the old style window/wall unit and so old I guess this is what you get when you try to go cheap. So pulled up the sheets and the sheets are dirty!! Go anyplace else but here, this should only be last resort. You tell front desk and he looks at you like deer in the headlights The breakfast is a granola bar. lol. Yeah this place is ghetto!! So I paid the room and there is an extra $5.19 from here billed to my card. When I called they say they for forgot to charge state tax. If you forget tax that is your problem not mine.

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.

I don't like carpet in a room where a lot of people have stayed. Hard floors are much cleaner. Breakfast was a disappointment. We are planning to stop at a McDonald's. If saving money by not having to buy breakfast is important to you, they do have enough items to feed the family. There's several breads, including bagels. There's also yogurt, hard boiled eggs, waffles, and biscuits and gravy. I tried a biscuit and gravy but didn't eat it. The biscuits wasn't warm and appeared to be already prepared. The gravy was ok but couldn't compensate for a cold biscuit. I didn't see any cereal. We were happy they had a hot tub. My husband is having back problems and the hot tub after a long drive was most helpful. That alone will bring us back.

And the manager was conveniently out of town when I called the hotel.
