This is a beautiful restoration of an old Route 66 motel, listed on a register of historic places. Comfortable, elegant and simple all at once, with great craft beers in the lobby bar and detailed story of the evolution of the place from a drive-in motel to a chic overnight stay.

Nicely renovated historic property close to old town. Quiet area that is variable in states of renovation. Tap room small and cozy with live music on weekend. Relatively empty the weekend we were there in January. Small room but very comfortable.

This place is so cute and exactly the old school Route 66 vibe we were hoping for. Comfy rooms that have recently been redecorated, and the whole property is well maintained and retains a wonderful vintage appeal. We loved the on-site bar and neighboring dining options and it was so conveniently located to everywhere we were going in Albuquerque. Staff was super sweet and the whole stay was a breeze. Will definitely stay here again!
