We've stayed here 3 or 4 times now. The woman at the front desk is very friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Love the midcentury modern lamps and light fixtures. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the little courtyard while watching the hummingbirds and the sunrise.

Fab Route 66 motel. Perfect if you are hauling trailers behind. Lots of parking. We checked in super late—after hours. I called to let them know late in the evening and they were still hospitable and organized a self check in. Goodie bag of fruit and pastries awaited. Plus we filled our cooler with complementary ice. Lovely people. And the rooms are super clean and have maintained their 50s-60s vibe

This is a lovely place to stay, very clean, very friendly, with added touches that show the owners care for travelers to have a good experience. There's a fine pet walk area and even pet blankets supplied. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the Moriarty area.

This is a little gem. From our greeting to the moment we left it was almost perfect. The breakfast bag was much appreciated and the room was lovely with thoughtful little touches like the Hershey kisses and the tiny bath duck. I’m sorry we don’t bring our eye masks as the blind was not very good. But apart from that it was excellent. I would highly recommend.
