Great place to stay if you want some original Route 66 experience. Still owned by the same family that built it. The rooms are spotless and comfortable. They have a feel of the 60’s but yet feel updated. This is definitely a must stay if I come through Moriarty, NM again.

What a nice find! From check in to check out the entire stay was lovely. The host is exceptionally friendly and helpful. I loved the upgrades in the room esp. the mini-split heat pumps. The breakfast treat to go was a nice bonus.

A throwback motel with a Route 66 heritage, it was perfect for my stay! It isn’t on I-40 like the other chain hotels in Moriarity so it was really quiet and comfortable. Slept great! The staff were really nice, the rooms clean. Nothing fancy and nothing needed like that for me anyway! The muffins and the bear claw awesome from the front desk for breakfast! Will definitely stay again

Retro vibe. Spacious room. Can park right in front of your room door. The parking lot is plenty big if pulling a trailer. Grassy dog area with bags and receptacles. Quick check in and out. Very close to I-40

Passing thru

The room was small but clean and adequate for a night's sleep. Front desk clerk was very nice. The bed was not comfy for my husband and I. The biggest drawback is that our bathroom had no heat at all. It was too cold to shower in there.
