    Love the ambiance!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    This is a quaint hotel located in walking distance form historic downtown Albuquerque. The rooms have been updated, are clean and comfortable. There is a small pool in the courtyard, a tap room next to the hotel lobby, and several small restaurants to eat at on the property. It was perfect for a road trip along Route 66 for a few nights. Not all rooms have a refridgerator (FYI).

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    It’s a one-stop shop with everything you need right on site like food, beer, live entertainment, and a pool. Rooms are nicely decorated and very comfortable. Parking can be challenging.

    Very clean and beautifully renovated. Good food on site, and they even had music the night we were there! Great location - we walked over to the old plaza and to the Rattlesnake Museum.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Super nice modernized route 66 motel with a great pool, bar and food options on site!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Great pool area. Having a variety of meal options (mini restaurants) right next to the pool was really a cool option, plus craft beers on draft that I could bring to the pool is also nice. Adorable, well-kept grounds. The rooms had everything I needed and was comfortable. The parking/check-in was a little confusing upon arrival.

    The property was beautiful, clean and wonderful location. There was nothing we didn’t like

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Very nice hotel but not kid friendly. There is a dispensary basically on the premises and marijuana is everywhere. If that bothers you, this place is probably not for you.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The property was so cute. Plenty of outdoor areas to enjoy. Loved the tap room and surrounding small restaurants. Only complaint was that none were open for light breakfast Most visitors were probably on road trip. A small refrigerator in room would be nice
