Great old school route 66 motel. No frills but very comfortable and clean. Welcoming to pets ( just let them know) and the owner (Ron) is very nice and helpful. Not as many amenities but you are staying in a bit of history on Route 66 in Grants NM. Would definately stop there again!

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.
