Vintage boutique on route 65

Really cool vintage boutique hotel on Route 66. Great service. We were gonna be late and the staff worked with us to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a dog and they set aside treats and a water bowl prior to our arrival. Just make sure you bring bug spray!!! Overall a good experience.

This motel was a throwback to the 60s on Route 66. The property was well maintained and the 60s theme extended from the lobby to the radio in the room playing music and even cigarette ads as though you were back in time. I didn’t feel the need to light up though.

Stay here! You know you want to!

We were traveling with our dog and they welcomed her as a guest. We arrived after the lobby had closed so they called us and made arrangements so we could get into our room. We walked in and found treats and gifts addressed to our pooch. The room was perfect retro 60's mod. Loved it and will always stay here!

A blast from the past

This was a delightful Motel! The decor was great and it transported me back to my childhood in my parents living room! They did a great job of renovating the place and making that whole 1960's vibe complete. We had our dog with us and they provide a little area for your dog's Comfort necessities. They also have canine treats for your dog. The shower was great! The coffee was great! The bed was comfortable. The towels were a great size. There were even moon pies in the room. I would definitely stay here again.

Clean, comfortable room. Cool Rte 66 decor. Although I stayed in a pet friendly room, you would never know that dogs had been in the room before. Good nostalgic stop on the Mother Road!

Cleanest room ever! Lovely retro decor and friendly staff. Adorable details and sweet little lobby/gift shop. Pet rooms are separate from non-pet rooms so no allergies! Excellent place to stay.

Great restoration of a classic Sixties motor lodge, and our quartet of Boomers was old enough to vouch for its authenticity! Rooms are small by today's standards, but the beds were comfortable, and the details - classic radio, magazines, snacks - made it even more fun.

We stayed in a pet friendly room and it was super cute. There was a small dog play area which was very welcome after a long day in the car. There were too many shag rugs for a pet friendly room and previous guests had soiled them. I kept my pup in his crate most of the time as I’m sure he would’ve peed on top of them!

This is an old motel, and they lean into that with the vibe and decor. Very quaint! Don't expect a 4-star full-service hotel and it's fine. Staff are friendly. Coffee/tea available in the morning. Pet friendly with a dog run area full fenced in. Tucumcari has seen better days. Dining is VERY limited, especially on Sunday when we were there. There is a full grocery store in town.
