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.

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.

Having stayed at both properties now El Vado and here, the work and pride they have put into Restoring some Rt 66 Americana is evident. Vintage looks,modern fee. Staff was great and welcoming and location was perfect.

Room was fine, the room was cold for my wife. And we had assistance front the front desk clerk. He tried to get the room temperature up. But, didn't work. We may need to find another motel or hotel.
