Once was enough

First night we were locked out of room due to broken lock, we couldn’t get back into room until midnight. They comped us a whole $50 for the inconvenience. We spent time at the pool every day for a week. They only emptied the garbage at the pool once and washed and replaced towels once. It’s a very loud motel because it’s on Route 66 and there’s a lot of street racing.

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.

I've stayed here 3 or 4 times, and it's now my go-to in Abq. Great value, great staff, great mattresses, quiet for the location, cute rooms. Albuquerque is an awesome city and this place has all the best Burque vibes.

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.
