Staff was very helpful, iconic Route 66 hotel, clean but dated!
The manager was great, responsive to special requests and tips for travelers.
Clean and comfortable room, good location to stop and recharge. There’s a Walmart close by, good for travel supplies.
I had a really pleasant stay at this southwest motel. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made check‑in and the overall experience feel easy and relaxed. Everything was very clean and quiet, so it was easy to unwind at the end of the day. The beds were comfortable and I slept well. One of my favorite parts was the classic neon sign out front—it has a fun retro feel that really adds to the character of the place. I loved my stay and would gladly come back.
A really nice hotel room along route 66. Friendly staff and a quaint dog friendly stay next to the national park. We really enjoyed this place and would gladly stay if we make a return trip to El malpais.
The man on staff upon arrival was kind, friendly, and made sure we got settled in! He had tons of local food recommendations, and a few very cute cats in the office. A truly pet-friendly motel- and exceptionally clean to boot! We'll definitely be staying here in the future.
