What a lovely motel! The room is exquisite! It is within walking distance to restaurants and Walgreens. The gentleman who checked us in was very friendly and accommodating. It was too cold outside to use the pool, but it looked delightful. We did not go to the bar, but it looked wonderful as well. We’re coming back the next time we’re in Albuquerque!

A very simple but cute motel. Some areas of Albuquerque with clusters of motels can be very sketchy with loads of homeless surrounding them (learned that the hard way). Thankfully, this is not in that category. The location and surroundings were good, especially for the price, the room and bed were very comfortable, the staff was very friendly and they have a nice bar with a complimentary drink. I will stay there again on my next visit.

The staff were very accommodating to our needs, which were many this trip due to some car troubles. They truly put the pleasant back into the unpleasant circumstances surrounding our trip. The beds were comfy and it was very convenient to hav an adjoining room for our daughters.

Having stayed at both properties now El Vado and here, the work and pride they have put into Restoring some Rt 66 Americana is evident. Vintage looks,modern fee. Staff was great and welcoming and location was perfect.
