This is an old motel, and they lean into that with the vibe and decor. Very quaint! Don't expect a 4-star full-service hotel and it's fine. Staff are friendly. Coffee/tea available in the morning. Pet friendly with a dog run area full fenced in.
Tucumcari has seen better days. Dining is VERY limited, especially on Sunday when we were there. There is a full grocery store in town.
This place is a diamond in the rough. Super friendly staff, love the overall decor of the place - it is truly like stepping back in time! This was our second time here - hope to return !! Excellent place to stay!!!
Adorable on the inside and cute out. Nostalgia brings you joy as you listen to the old radio. Super cute decor. My room had an old Betty Crocker cookbook. Moon pies and RC Colas for the 2 in the room. Love this place

The hotel itself is a dated 50s style hotel. The rooms are very dated with
TV trays for sink space in the bathroom. They are clean and cute with a radio from the 50s.

This RoadRunner motel was true to its 1950 intended vibe. Thus: no refrigerator or microwave. Safe, though I might look elsewhere next time. I did not see others more promising.
This was our second stay at the Roadrunner Lodge. LOVE THIS PLACE! We brought our four legged baby with this time and I cannot recommend this motel highly enough for a pet friendly stay! The place is spotless and we love the retro design. Highly, highly recommend!
This is an amazing property. It has been restored beautifully in Art Dec style. No detail was missed. The property managers were so helpful. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to others.
