Everything about this hotel is fantastic, some remodeling happening, but a great place to stay. Also close to a few very good restaurants instead of eating at fast food.

A really nice hotel room along route 66. Friendly staff and a quaint dog friendly stay next to the national park. We really enjoyed this place and would gladly stay if we make a return trip to El malpais.

Bed was a bit uncomfortable. There should have been hooks on the wall to hang items from (towels, purses, toiletries, etc. AC needs a major update.

Great Route 66 motel experience

The person who welcomed us at check in was really friendly and offered great recommandations for food around Grants. I really loved the vinyl record player in the room with an album that I have back home. It felt like home. The AC unit was a bit loud, that'd the only down side during our stay.

Retro motel near El Malpais. Location was great. Bed was comfy and room seemed clean, but a little run down. Shower was awful. I’m always a little suspicious when linens and towels are gray because it hides stains. Front desk was pleasant.
