    This is our 2nd time staying overnight here. I love the live music in the lobby/bar although we didn't get a chance to enjoy it this time. Easy walking distance to old town. This time we drove a bit to La Guelaguetza to try the birria pizza and it didn't disappoint. Can't wait to stay here again!

    Such a cute room! Beautifully decorated, beautiful pool area and close to historic district which was darling!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was clean, located in a safe area, the beds were incredibly comfortable. The room had an updated modern feel. Within walking distance from Old Town Albuquerque. Would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area. There was nothing

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It’s very well maintained and the shower was very nice! We were charged $100 above the price we booked for, and then we were charged again when we checked out! I sure hope that the first amount that was charged to our credit card comes off of our credit card!

    Nice clean rooms and was great for my family of four.

    Great staff, big comfortable room, laundry facility, location, bar Not a user-friendly snack machine

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This property has been updated. It is first rate.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This is a destination-worthy stay. It has been lovingly updated and embodies a kind of desert chic! The cocktail lounge is worth going to all on its own. Our bartender clearly is passionate about his mixology, crafting his own syrups and making use of a smoker to create spectacular drinks. Half of the fun was watching him make them. We also enjoyed live music. Truly this place is an experience!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Our family travels a lot and we generally stay at 3/4 star places and this out did them all!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff were friendly and nice, even if we were a bit late. The room looked really good, nicest motel I’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommend. Nothing, it was great

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nothing we didnt like.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The only problem we had was the limited parking due to an event at their sister property. Everything else was Great, I was so happy to see that some of the Route 66 motels have been restored. They reminded me of the places where my family stayed on vacation when I was a kid.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Comfortable, very clean and new, roomy, QUIET - owners must have invested in room sound proofing. Polite, helpful staff. Icing on this cake would be to have an in-room microwave.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Clean, comfortable, nice design, good pool. The handicap shower in our room was very awkward

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great staff. Love location and fact it is on route 66 Nothing

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Excellent location - within walking distance to Old Town. The room(s) were huge and very nice. Staff was great! My only suggestion is to have better coffee in the morning. What was available was very weak.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The pool was really nice. Our room had a huge balcony which we enjoyed. The hotel is within walking distance to Old Town The air conditioner took all night to cool the room.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Loved this place. Unique, old-school vibe was exactly what we were looking for on Route 66. Highly recommend!
