Such an awesome place. It has kept all of its original Route 66 charm, but has ensured the comfort and cleanliness is of high priority. If you are visiting Albuquerque or driving through and need a place to stop…this is it! 10/10!

Awesome Motor Inn in ABQ
I was my second time staying here. I love to Retro style, lattes in the office and restaurants on site. Was bummed to find out the restaurants are not open on Sunday nights. I guess I'll need to come back again so I can check them out.

Awesome boutique hotel!
Wonderful boutique hotel! Remodeled and modern with a flashback to the 50’s twist. Comfortable foam mattress, nice bathroom, well use of space, large flat screen TV with DirectTV. Great location, free WiFi and parking, with restaurants, gym, and laundry on property. We’ll be back!!!

The Heat was on at the Imperial
We were on are way back home and decided to stay over one night in Albuquerque New Mexico.The Imperial had excellent reviews we booked a king room there because of the reviews, location and retro vibe. It's a vintage mid century motel that has been completely renovated.The room was well maintained and clean. I liked the reading lamps on the sides of the bed.They made it possible for one person to sleep white other could read in the bed without disturbing each other, nice touch.The king bed didn't have electrical outlets on both sides of the bed , our medical devices couldn't be plugged in.The room reminded me of a lower budget HGTV renovation The wall HVAC was under the front window, it was set at 71 degrees and ran on and off all night long.It was extremely noisy, blew hot and cold air on the bed was rather unpleasant.. We arrived around 8:30 in the evening after 10 hours of driving. Another group of guests arrived after us and were placed in the room next to ours.They left their car's motor running for hours.I complained to the front desk about the running vehicle. They wouldn't do anything about it I felt unsafe staying there.Security was lacking, management wasn't available to handle the situation.The front desk person wasn't helpful or kind.My experience at the Imperial wasn't enjoyable or positive.I have no desire to return.
