Owners were super nice but kind of hard to find. The front desk was not always manned. The breakfast had no protein options. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the shower got hot and stayed hot. The room was dirty. My white socks were black on the bottom after walking on the floor. It did get mopped after my second request.

Breakfast is looking like you are in some area with many samples. Everything what you can find for free on gas stations you can find on your breakfast table. But stuff was very nice and welcome. Big star for them.

Received a text from Howard Johnson for pre-check. Completed it including copy of drivers license and credit card information. Hotel doesn’t have access to that information so had to do everything again. One reason I selected this motel was for the bathtub. Ask for a room on 1st floor. Found out room didn’t have tub. They gave us a room on 2nd floor but housekeeping hadn’t finished cleaning it. We had already carried all our luggage up so we waited. Later I went in to take bath and found the tub didn’t have any way to keep the water in so useless for a bath. The hotel and furnishings are very dated.

This motel is a budget motel and as such is great. It was old, but on Rt 66 so that is expected. The rooms were nice though. Large & clean. It had everything we needed. The staff seemed nice as well. My only complaint was the road noise on Route 66 Bring earplugs.

This is a unique renovated Route 66 property. It is very well done and a very friendly staff. The updates may not be consistent with the 50s and 60s., But overall, it is a very well done renovation.

I was very impressed with how nicely renovated all the rooms are. The bed was comfortable and everything was in good shape. I especially appreciated them having two EV chargers. I'm not sure I'd bother doing their advanced online check-in though - they ended up asking me for almost everything when I checked in that I'd already done online so it seemed like a waste of time.

Reasonably comfortable stay at this funky Route 66 motel. Staff friendly and welcoming. Room air conditioner was so close to the bed that both the noise and air made it hard to sleep soundly.

A charming and pleasant visit

The front desk staff were kind, friendly, and professional. They answered questions and were very helpful. This was our first time in Albuquerque and thought the decor and atmosphere of the hotel was charming.
