We liked the tap room service and good coffee in the office in the morning. The Costa Rican restaurant right on the circle the tap room guy recommended was amazing!

Historical motel on Route 66 Nice rooms nothing extraordinary. They did a great job remodeling. No real restaurant on site or close but can walk to old town which is about .6 miles away. Simple but clean rooms. No refrigerator

I specifically requested that the front desk charge one card for my stay and a separate for the incidentals, and went back a second time because it appeared they charged both to one card and was assured by the front desk lady that it was fixed. Lo and behold, they charged everything to one card. This is HIGHLY inconvenient as I am dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. The stay was just okay, it was a bed to sleep in.

Really cool property with excellent, comfortable furnishings. It was convenient to Old Town and we were able to get there, park and walk to a nice restaurant within minutes. The food pods at the property were closed as it was a Monday. Having coffee in the morning in the courtyard was really enjoyable! We would definitely stay again.

We loved the pool area and very large courtyard. The room was not huge but looked like it had been recently renovated and it had a very comfortable bed and a great walk-in shower. The motel was close enough to walk to the old town with many shops and restaurants. Best of all, the rate per night was very reasonable. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Would like better parking options. However, what is available is adequate understanding the history and location. We always have had a great experience staying here. Live music and on location dining options are a plus. We will be returning to stay next time we aee in Albuquerque.

I love staying at properties with character, and El Vado is such a property. The design of the property is great and it's attached to interesting stores and great places to eat. The rooms are nice and the pool is inviting. The common spaces are very pleasant as well. The staff was friendly and accomodating. I would stay here again if I'm in Albuquerque and I would recommend El Vado for those looking for a fun place to stay.

I loved this cute little renovated Route 66 motel. They have a variety of cute eateries on site. The mattress was the most comfortable hotel mattress I’ve experienced. My only complaint is that the parking lot is small and shared with businesses and an apartment, so we had difficulty finding spot earlier in the day.
