Route 66

Traveling cross country and wanted to stay on Route 66. Cute hotel it is older, but clean!! Love the table in our room since we brought dinner back to the room. Has a full bar, but not a restaurant-there are several options close. Laundry and ice are convenient. Mike was very welcoming.

This was an older Route 66 motel, but updated rooms and very clean! We liked that it was on Route 66 and not one of the big hotel groups. It was charming and perfect for our needs. The attached bar area looked so inviting, but we were tired from a long day of driving so didn’t actually sit down for a relaxing drink. Owner was so very pleasant and kind. This will be our new go to place when traveling.

It’s so sad to see all these old hotels going out of business along Route 66 I hope and pray this one makes it because it was very clean and affordable and the owner was very nice and accommodating.

A Diamond in the Rough

This is an extremely clean, basic hotel room Look at the price. The bed seemed brand new . The linens were clean. Tile floors made it even cleaner . Quiet. I felt safe. But, even better was Mike the owner and his friend Alf, who was visiting . There is a full bar on the premises. We sat there and had a couple of drinks and told tales back and forth . This will always be our nighttime destination on Interstate 40 in NM. Off the Interstate , but easy to find. Thank you for your hospitality.

Good place to stay while passing thru

The gentleman that check us in was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean. Price was fair. I loved the desert style. Mattress looked new. There was a mini fridge and a micro wave. I really liked the walk in shower. Plenty of hot water.
