Clean Comfortable Motel

Wonderful motel off Route 66. Room was large, nicely decorated, and the bed was so comfortable. Free parking. There is a bar in the lobby that is super cute with a fun vibe and great cocktails. Shout out to Olivia and Jessica for their hospitality and friendliness during check in and check out. Would happily stay here again.

Wanted to stay at a vintage Route 66 hotel on our trip to Albuquerque - this hotel fit the bill. The room was well appointed and comfortable - the bed might be the most comfortable one I have ever slept on in a hotel.

Clean, friendly, and attentive staff. However, someone opened my door in the middle of the night while I was sleeping and woke me up. I yelled at them and they left quickly. The front desk helped me quickly. They did offer to move me, but it was the middle of the night. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep well. The showers are odd, there is no door, only a piece of glass on one side. Water went everywhere on the bathroom floor. There is no place to put your shower stuff either.
