“Great motel -- retro 1960s style”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

Go past the large corporation hotels right off the highway and see an old world when Route 66 was a popular destination route. Coming from Texas, it's 1 1/2 hour past Amarillo, but you gain an hour entering New Mexico, and the uniqueness of the hotel and cheap price is worth the drive. The hotel is extremely cheap, but the... More

“Great exterior, well worn interior”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2013

This place was "recommended". It was highly touted in TripAdvisor and they took dogs, but it was a bit overrated. Great mid century modern exterior, but the rooms could really use some rehabbing. It's good to be retro, but this was just old. Beds were good and comfortable and the linens were nice. The rooms were paneled I that dark... More

“A Historic Mod Retro Motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2013

My friend and I were arriving ridiculously late after the office would be closed and Kathy, one of the owners, made arrangements for us so that we could still check in. Very accommodating and helpful, thank you! The exceptional customer service, the espresso bar and the mod retro look makes this Route 66 Motel a must see & stay.

“A Real Gem !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2013

This motel is a real sleeper - pun intended! Room was clean and comfortable. Owner was very friendly. They have an excellent coffee shop on the premises where you can get coffee that is far better than the dishwater served in so many US restaurants. Their prices are far too low for what they offer

“Best Rest in the West.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2013

My wife and I, and our dogs, have stayed here three times and have never been sorry for our decision. The owners have always been helpful. And the rooms have always been nice. Loved it when they added the espresso cafe. I have been telling everyone to stop here if at all possible. Later this summer I'll be driving the... More

“Fun Stay in a CLEAN Retro Mod Motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2013

Our family of five stopped off here on our way from AZ to TX winding down our Spring Break trip and wanting a little bit of the Route 66 vibe. We booked a King for my husband and me, a single Queen for my son and the corner double beds for our daughters, and everyone was very happy with their... More

“Aging, but clean.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2013

Stopped here for one night in January. Check in was smooth, except for the pet paperwork, which was a little intimidating. Our room was clean, and the beds comfortable The only drawback, as mentioned in other reviews, was the very noisy wall mounted heater/ac unit. If you are a light sleeper, either bring earplugs, or stay elsewhere. Also, the front... More

“This is my "go to" Motel in NM”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2013

I love this place. I love the people. Considering that I am only able to get to this motel once or twice a year in the summer on our drives, I think it is awesome that they remember who we are. I love motels where we meet the owners, and can have a friendly conversation. The rooms are some of... More
