Such an awesome place. It has kept all of its original Route 66 charm, but has ensured the comfort and cleanliness is of high priority. If you are visiting Albuquerque or driving through and need a place to stop…this is it! 10/10!

Awesome Motor Inn in ABQ

I was my second time staying here. I love to Retro style, lattes in the office and restaurants on site. Was bummed to find out the restaurants are not open on Sunday nights. I guess I'll need to come back again so I can check them out.
