Dated property, but very, very clean, which is our biggest concern wherever we stay. It was quiet, owner was very nice. Full bar on premises, which was nice after a long day on the road. Would recommend.

Shannon

Liked: Staff & service
Front desk guy was extremely friendly. Gave some suggestion for restaurants. The building is very dated. Had a hard time finding outlets to be able to plug in my electronics. Obviously work is being done so there's a lot of construction materials in the parking lot. There were only a couple of guests there. The town of Tumucari itself is pretty run down. Most businesses are boarded up. It took me a bit to find a place for the pup to be able to run that wasn't full of mud or in an iffy area.

Everything was as advertised; clean, comfortable bed, nice hot water with pressure. We were one of two cars in the parking lot, so we had the run of the place! The owner was super nice and I enjoyed talking with him.

The hotel is quaint, loved the 80's music playing in the bar. The bed was extra firm which is not my favorite, but the room was clean and had decent amenities. Would definitely stay there again anytime.

Interesting motel - fronting the (1/2 of roadside buildings old and shuttered) route 66. You check in at the bar. ( Free standing not attached)- nice person( owner)) checks you in quickly. Motel only had about 4/5 cars staying on a Mon in mid April. That can be a warning. My room was great, very large lots of bag etc storage and definitely clean. Very quiet on my stay. No breakfast, only a coffee maker in the room. Room did include a fridge and microwave. If your ok with an older, under used motel on a typical route 66 road in Tucumcari - this is your place.
