5 star
Older motel, but very clean. Owner very nice and eager to please. The bed was firm but not hard, perfectly comfortable. No stupid hot memory foam. Cotton sheets, not the synthetic junk a lot of places are using now. The room was dark and quiet. We travel between Kansas City and Phoenix a couple times a year. I think this will become our go-to halfway stop from now on.

Despite choosing the option to pay in advance when booking, the hotel charged me upon arrival and added a pet fee that was not in the hotel description. The room was not ready to have guests. All appliances were unplugged and the room was easily 85 degrees. it took 4 hours for the tiny AC unit to bring the temperature into the 70's and never got cooler than about 75. Pillows smelled like vomit. Window on the first floor did not lock.

Place seemed deserted, no secondary door lock on room that opens to parking lot. Booked because it was rated 8+ but it was not an 8+ at all. No breakfast, no bathroom amenities, no pool. There was free parking

It was a bit hard to find since the address listed in the booking was incorrect. We called and were given directions. It is old but very well maintained from the outside. Inside was clean but extensive upgrades.

Like most of Tucumcari this place has seen more properous time. It is large, maybe 100 rooms but when we pulled up we didn't see any other cars. My wife wondered what we were getting into! Which was strange since when we booked it said only 2 rooms left. However, the property and the room was clean. The person that checked us in was very friendly. By 10 pm there were 5 other cars there. Was a good choice for the price.

The room was very clean. The outside of the building/property looks rundown like most motels in Tucumcari, but the room was very clean. I would stay there again for my annual trip between Arizona and Minnesota.

My husband and I had a pretty bad experience in New Mexico on our road trip honeymoon, but this historic motel redeemed it a bit. Check in ended at 10pm and we almost didn’t make it, but our host was pretty friendly. The room was large and relatively clean. Additionally, the old Route 66 strip is pretty quiet now but cool to drive down and you can definitely find a diner or two to eat at among the neon lights.
