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!
