This was a super clean motel with friendly staff and a nice diner. The space theme is fun and differentiates it from a thousand other anonymous motels - it is only skin deep. Don't expect the Las Vegas Hilton Star Trek Experience. More

This is a difficult one to write - the staff were great, the room was lovely, the breakfast deal in the adjoining restaurant was terrific. BUT .... we had to cut short our stay after just one night, sadly, as we did not sleep well - the railway line runs along the length of the rear of the motel, shaking... More

We chose to spend the night here on a recent trip through California and Arizona after reading many (but unfortunately not all) reviews on Tripadvisor. Here are the pros and cons as we saw them: Pros: motel room was sufficiently clean and beds were comfortable. Motel and restaurant theme is funky and fun for kids. There were certainly no better...

Seemed kinda strange on the outside, but was very nice inside! Kind of shocked really. Free breakfast in the restaurant after your stay. A great stop in the middle of nothing. More

I stayed here overnight back in 1988. I love the 60's feel and look. I can't believe it's still here! I would love to return but I haven't been to AZ since. More

We were leary about staying here because it is a motel and most of the old motel rooms we've seen are pretty dodgy. We read Trip Advisor and decided to take a chance. This one has been nicely updated, is very clean and comfortable. I do agree that the air conditioner made noise but we found a switch on the... More

We needed a place in Gila Bend because of late night travel. We realized quickly that they take the space age theme serious. The attention to detail is astonishing. Best bed on our cross country trip. We had no train interruption. The breakfast was fresh and hearty. I would stay again because we left very happy and smiling. More

Rooms are very clean and have been recently updated. Flat screen TV, comfortable bed and nice products (soap, shampoo, etc.). Interesting space related artwork in the rooms. The restaurant serves a good breakfast with lots of space decorations to look at on the walls. We've driven by this place many times on the way to San Diego and always thought... More

Rooms are clean but old. If you are a light sleeper good luck, a train passes by around 3-4 am everyday. Internet is decent, but slow compared to hotels closer to Phoenix. The breakfast is pretty good and is included in the rate. The decor is a little bit of the history of the space shuttles. Pictures of Astronauts adorn... More
