My husband and I loved the retro room. It was clean, quiet and you have parking spot designated for your room which makes it super easy to carry your bags in to your room as it's right in front of it. The owner is so very kind and even made things right as my husband I messed up on the check in day when we booked ( it was for the next day ) and she took care of it and even gave me a pair of ear plus as I forgot to pack mine. Can't say enough about this motel from 1959... Cute rooms, cute landscape along with a bag with fruit and danish upon check in... A to go breakfast or after dinner snack.... We will be back... Many more times.

Cool little Rt 66 remnant in Moriarty NM. Pricing much better than Santa Fe, vintage building and grounds in decent shape, not fancy. Free baked goods and fruit for breakfast. I would stay here again cause it fits my style.

Nostalgic blast from the past

Like a blast from the past, 70's feel motel The beds was comfortable. Bathroom small, guess it was smaller back then. The vintage chairs needs new cushions, unknown it they where ever replaced The blinds are easily knocked off so be careful but they are easily put back on We had a muffin, bear claw and 2 oranges in our welcome bag. Just leave tbe key on the dresser and head on your way

"old" style motel with real keys. Very easy to find. No breakfast room, but you are handed a gift bag with breakfast to eat at your pleasure!! Bed was comfy, room was sparkling clean and well-furnished. Easy to recommend to those tired of cookie-cutter commercial motel chains!
