Very convenient for walking at BioPark and to Old Town. Loved finding the excellent restaurant Buen Provecho just up the street a bit. Kind helpful hosts. Very comfortable bed and very quiet for sleeping. Nice size of room. Only suggestion is one more chair with a back.

This was the most darling little motel. It was so cozy and comfortable and only a short walk to old town. There is laundry available along with a nice pool. We have nothing but nice things to say about the hotel. The neighborhood is a mixed area with nice renovated motels and old town shopping and restaurants but also some run down shady stuff. We walked everywhere and never felt unsafe though.

Check in was good at the desk/bar but I ended up being charged for the complimentary first drink! Hotel was clean but the lights are confusing since the tiny on off switch is black on a black background. The shower didn't heat up well and was difficult to use since the shower head was hard to use since you had to hold it in your hand since it wouldn't stay in the right position attached to the wall.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was very nice, and the room was large with a comfortable bed. Initially the Wi-Fi was not working, but the front office reset the router and all was fine afterwards. The main issue is the neighborhood was a little sketchy and I would not walk around there at night. In the daytime it was fine; it is about a 15 minute walk to the Old Town Plaza.

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.
