Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Updated rooms and friendly owners / staff. Location could be better – lots of folks roaming the sidewalks – but the owners have gone to great lengths to make sure that the property itself feels safe, with multiple security cameras and a well-lit parking lot. Rooms are well-insulated from road noise, A/C is fantastic, and make-your-own waffles for breakfast were a nice touch.

The staff were awesome. Our check in went very smoothly. Our room was comfortable and the decor was on theme for Route 66 nostalgia. The offered breakfast was basic with coffee, juice, toast, cereal and self-made waffles. Property felt safe with well lit area and cameras.

The room was spacious and clean. It’s right off Route 66, so there’s a bit of road noise and some rough looking people about although no one bothered us. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The property itself is nice, rooms are good and staff is great.. only reasons i didnt max the review out is hecause I got tne room partially for access to indoor pool that nobody mentioned was down and drained...yet we still pay "motel with pool prices" The only other complaint i have is the gas station across the way seems a haven for addicts after hours

While the people running the place were very kind, and the hotel wasn’t horrible, this area of Albuquerque is sketch. Other customers hanging outside their rooms talking loud as hell and a very large man walking back and forth above us all night made for a miserable stay.

It was a slightly older property with slightly older furnishings but very spacious, clean and comfortable. Plenty of outlets. The staff was great. Really enjoyed my stay. Only downsides were some street noise during the night and the pressure in the accessible shower was quite low.
