Hotel was in a great location close to Old Town. The rooms are decent and was good enough for one night stay.
Johanna G, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is a bit shabby. The bathroom door was so swollen. I didn’t close. Breakfast was disappointing. However the staff was very friendly. And we were in Albuquerque during the balloon festival so finding lodging was quite difficult.
Regina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good solid clean place to stay. Nice people running it.
Phillip, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Needs a Bit of Work.

Nice overall but has some issues. The hot/cold on the sink was reversed and the shower curtain was tub-length even though it was a step in shower so water on the floor. Breakfast was meager. Next to a fairly busy street, so some street noise. The owner/manager was super friendly and accommodating.

Do not stay here.

The road noise is very loud (the rooms are too close to the road). Small, roach-like bugs in the bathroom. The Air Conditioning unit was very loud in my room. Do not stay here.
Damon, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This motel is a budget motel and as such is great. It was old, but on Rt 66 so that is expected. The rooms were nice though. Large & clean. It had everything we needed. The staff seemed nice as well. My only complaint was the road noise on Route 66 Bring earplugs.
Rae Lynn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have been trying to find a place to stay consistently. This motel was wonderful. Staff, room, amenities. Beds were so comfortable.
Shari, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I am truly baffled at how this hotel has an average rating of 8.2/Very Good. The pictures are definitely deceiving. Rather than looking retro, it looks rundown. Our linens were literally threadbare - holes in the blankets and sheets. The bathrooms have exposed wiring and missing drain grates, and the smoke detectors are half hanging off. Additionally, there’s major design flaws. The bed frames are metal, and if you accidentally hit them with your feet, they clang loudly. The showers are walk in, but the ledges aren’t tall enough and/or the curtains aren’t long enough, so every shower floods the bathroom. It’s a good thing we were only staying one night mid-road trip, because I don’t know that we could’ve put up with it otherwise.
Genna, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Air was very loud. Outside looks really nice but construction and cleaning was poor in the room. No fan in the bathroom and then steam trigged the fire alarm. Hole in the ceiling. They charged my card when I checked in and then charged it again. Took over a week to reverse the charges as they had gone through. A hold is never usually charged. Only time I've ever took a video of my room before checking out.
Julie, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A charming and pleasant visit

The front desk staff were kind, friendly, and professional. They answered questions and were very helpful. This was our first time in Albuquerque and thought the decor and atmosphere of the hotel was charming.
Diana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a unique renovated Route 66 property. It is very well done and a very friendly staff. The updates may not be consistent with the 50s and 60s., But overall, it is a very well done renovation.
Joseph, 1-night trip

The room and price were okay but no gym, cold pool, very limited breakfast

Perfect spot for our stop during a cross country trip. Cute courtyard style motel, no frills, but clean and cute.

Reasonably comfortable stay at this funky Route 66 motel. Staff friendly and welcoming. Room air conditioner was so close to the bed that both the noise and air made it hard to sleep soundly.
