10/10 Exceptional

Great rooms. Friendly staff and like the quiet area
Darrick, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very accommodating to our needs, which were many this trip due to some car troubles. They truly put the pleasant back into the unpleasant circumstances surrounding our trip. The beds were comfy and it was very convenient to hav an adjoining room for our daughters.
Douglas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was nice and so was the room
Frances, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very simple but cute motel. Some areas of Albuquerque with clusters of motels can be very sketchy with loads of homeless surrounding them (learned that the hard way). Thankfully, this is not in that category. The location and surroundings were good, especially for the price, the room and bed were very comfortable, the staff was very friendly and they have a nice bar with a complimentary drink. I will stay there again on my next visit.
Gretchen, 2-night trip

Good location to Old Town. Adequate accommodation for a one night stay.
Joseph, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very modern, well-appointed facility. Missed having an iron & ironing board, but otherwise comfortable. We also enjoyed having a drink in the lounge onsite.
Martha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean and functional.
Thomas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was clean and comfy. The bed was really nice. The only constructive criticism I could offer is that the shower needs a curtain or door.
Carolyn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would stay again
Dennis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Gillian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean room & bath. Cute place. Bed was very comfortable. WIFI didn’t work till the next morning when we were leaving but that was minor as we weren’t there to surf the internet.
Jamie, 1-night trip

Maddie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place on Rte 66

Cool and funky-in-a-good-way motel on Rte. 66. Nice lounge for checking in or hanging out. Great service, Jessica was especially lovely and helpful! Pool was a nice feature. Large clean rooms with a wonderful shower although I don’t get not having a door on it, water went all over the bathroom floor… I’d stay here again!
Ellen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff, and refurbishment of an old classic motel was very well done which added a nice nights stay on our Route 66 trip.

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.
