Liked: Staff & service
I wish people would be more truthful on these reviews. When people say retro, what they mean is it's old. The staff was fine, but to be rated at a 9.1 is a big stretch. No ice machine exept when the office is open, the breakfast is nothing but a pastry from like a gas station and a piece of fruit. In our room there was a left over cup of soda in the refrigerator. I'm giving it a 3.5 because it was adequate for a one night stay, but nothing to write home about.

I’ve stayed here many times over the years, it’s always been a great choice.it was this time as well with only one exception. The water pressure for a bath or shower was vey poor. Never experienced this before so likely a unusual and one time problem

I’ve stayed at the Sunset Motel twice now and both times have gone great. It’s dog-friendly, close to multiple places to eat, safer than Albuquerque (my opinion), and it has historic charm. The staff is always friendly and the check in & out process is always fast and easy.

Family owned business showed pride in ownership. Staff were very friendly. Room very clean and loved the “little rubber yellow ducks” you saw in office @ check in and in bathroom sitting on tub. I forgot to ask the significance, but a welcoming sight! Would stay here again!

Just 2 issues.

The property was old, however, clean and comfortable. I have 2 issues: no watee pressure in the shower and a non-working coffee maker.
