Staff was nice and so was the room

Simply a great place to stay, staff, cleanliness, location, everything!
Martin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was clean and comfy. The bed was really nice. The only constructive criticism I could offer is that the shower needs a curtain or door.
Carolyn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean room & bath. Cute place. Bed was very comfortable. WIFI didn’t work till the next morning when we were leaving but that was minor as we weren’t there to surf the internet.

Great place on Rte 66

Cool and funky-in-a-good-way motel on Rte. 66. Nice lounge for checking in or hanging out. Great service, Jessica was especially lovely and helpful! Pool was a nice feature. Large clean rooms with a wonderful shower although I don’t get not having a door on it, water went all over the bathroom floor… I’d stay here again!
Ellen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We always love staying at this hotel when traveling with our grand kids because they LOVE the bunk beds. The only downfall to our recent visit was that there was absolutely no parking so we had to park at a neighboring hotel. I was told there was a wedding party celebration or something at their lounge so they were taking some of the parking spaces. It would make more sense to ensure that the hotel guests who paid over

Wanted to stay at a vintage Route 66 hotel on our trip to Albuquerque - this hotel fit the bill. The room was well appointed and comfortable - the bed might be the most comfortable one I have ever slept on in a hotel.

The staff were so pleasant. The rooms were clean and beautiful decorated. The bed has a memory foam mattress. It even has a mini fridge.
Montserrat, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Last minute booking during a roadtrip and very happy I did. The gentleman who handled check-in at the time was super helpful and accommodating (note for anyone with cooler, my fridge did NOT have a freezer section at top, like many of the small ones have. Unsure if all rooms are same when it comes to that, just mentioning.) The room was very comfy and clean and had a modern flair, while also staying cozy. Great space.
