The hotel was very nice, and the room was large with a comfortable bed. Initially the Wi-Fi was not working, but the front office reset the router and all was fine afterwards. The main issue is the neighborhood was a little sketchy and I would not walk around there at night. In the daytime it was fine; it is about a 15 minute walk to the Old Town Plaza.

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.
