Front desk lady was helpful and responsive. Bathroom floor and plumbing was in need of maintenance, but the beds were clean and comfortable. The noise of trains passing nearby didn’t bother me, but guests should be aware of this if they are light sleepers. The motel sits right on Route 66, so request a room further away from the road if traffic noise bothers you.

This Motel was built in the 50's when Route 66 was a booming road. We enjoyed staying here for the nastalgia. The room was quaint but nice & clean. The bed was very comfortable. We got a great night sleep .

Looks can be deceiving! I did not think I was going to sleep very well as the bed was more firm than I am used to but surprisingly we all slept the best here out of all our stays so far on our journey! The train didn’t bother us at all, the low rumble occasionally was actually relaxing! Ron was very helpful and kind! Would stay again!

Great old school route 66 motel. No frills but very comfortable and clean. Welcoming to pets ( just let them know) and the owner (Ron) is very nice and helpful. Not as many amenities but you are staying in a bit of history on Route 66 in Grants NM. Would definately stop there again!
