Very clean. Lots of amenities (gives Airbnb vibes, we stayed in the King Suite.) note: The sofa is a futon style, and does fold down, however, extremely uncomfortable. Great service, Chantelle took excellent care of us. She made us the best coffee while checking out. Downside: no luggage table, no shower caps, no robes, and very dim lighting (these were minor hiccups, we still had a comfortable stay.) Parking is limited (and free), however, we were still able to park our vehicle on-site, the walls are rather thin and we could hear the occupants TV into the morning hours. This hotel isn't in the most upscale part of town, however, great access to the freeway and walking distance to downtown, and not too far from Old Town. We would stay probably stay here again (if we were to return to the area), if they are able to maintain the same level of cleanliness and service.

This was a nicely renovated property, upscale but a throwback to the classic Route 66 feel. It was nearby downtown ABQ enough that I could walk there so it was a perfect stop along the main drag.

Great place, but book directly with motel!

This was so nicely renovated a right on Route 66 (Central Avenue). The staff was great, even Amanda, a cleaner there took lots of time to tell us info about Albuquerque! There are 3 restaurants on the property. The Venezuelan food was delicious! DON’T book through hotels.com! They charged me $28 above what the hotel said went through as a charge.

Nice place to stay

The hotel was great and the room felt so inviting and comfortable I was disappointed that the hotel bar was closed on a Friday evening and I had to go elsewhere to have a drink. If your bar is going to be closed especially on a Friday night, you may want to let your customers know upon check in

An honest review- room was very clean. Check in and out was easy. There are a few restaurants within walking distance. Nice bed (soft mattress) and pillows. Quite a bit of traffic noise all night long, something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper, but overall a very nice stay

Fantastic!

This motel was fantastic. I’m always leary of “motels” and usually bypass them, but this one was very clean, well lit, and the staff was amazing. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
