Perfect stop on a road trip! Old school RT66 motel where you drive right to your room. Greeted by proprietors Debby and Mike, who set you up with everything you need. Very safe, quiet, clean, and comfortable. The room was upgraded, while still keeping that old school charm. Loved it!

The staff was so nice. Even had blankets to cover the bed but we don’t allow our dogs on furniture so didn’t need them. The room was so quaint and just like the 1950’s with the decors. Clean and comfortable

Parking was easy; right outside your door. The retro vibe was cute and I felt safe. When I got a real room key, I wasnt so sure it was secure, but the heavy duty dead bolt was a few steps above anywhere I've ever stayed. Affordable and clean. The only downside was lack of outlets. I have a CPAP so i bring along an extention cord. Problem solved!

Late check in called before 10:30 made arrangements for payment and key access at key box. Clean room, nice bedding, bed could be softer but was adequate for a nights rest. Definitely will stay again when traveling through.

We found this hotel when we were unable to stay in Albuquerque, it's a great out of the way place, really retro but super clean, super quiet, the owners were amazing we even came in a bit late after a concert and they turned on the outside lights on until we got into our room. We will definitely stay there again, we will probably even stay there instead of staying in Albuquerque. Can't say enough good things about this place!
