My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, though a bit old and dark, were surprisingly large and clean, located at the rear of the property which helped with traffic noise. The service was welcoming and professional, preserving the quaintness of the place with a touch of tradition. The location was excellent, just a 5-minute walk to Old Town Albuquerque, but roadworks nearby made navigation tricky. The dining was satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.

My room, although on the older side and a bit dimly lit with a small bed, turned out to be spacious and spotlessly clean, providing a comfortable stay. The value for money was reasonable considering the size and cleanliness.

The hotel's location was truly a highlight, being within walking distance of Old Town Albuquerque and main driving routes. Despite the ongoing roadworks in the area, the proximity to attractions was convenient. The presence of individuals videotaping my vehicle was concerning, though not reflecting the hotel's fault.

Staying at this motel was a unique experience. The rooms, although a bit old, had a charming vibe with spacious interiors. However, they struggled to stay cool at times, and the noise level could be a bit bothersome. The service from the staff was exceptional, offering helpful suggestions for dining in Old Town, although some facilities were directed to a nearby hotel. The location was convenient for exploring Old Town Albuquerque but lacked proximity to the city's nightlife. The dining options were decent, and the motel's vintage Route 66 charm added to its appeal.

My stay at the motel was like stepping into a freshly decorated room from the 70s, which had its charm, with a very comfortable bed and impeccably clean surroundings. The personalized service added a nice touch, though some facilities were not directly on-site. The location was excellent for exploring Old Town Albuquerque, just a short walk away, despite some roadwork challenges in the area. The dining experience, while adequate, didn't stand out. Overall, a comfortable and nostalgic stay with minor inconveniences.

The hotel has a charmingly kitsch decor, and although the room was a bit crowded, it was still comfortable. It seemed like it had all the original elements but could use a refreshing update. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating, they really wanted us to feel at home. The location is perfect, just a short walk from Old Town with great dining options nearby. The dining experience was good, especially with seasonal local products. Overall, a cozy stay with a few areas that could use some improvement.
