The Roadrunner Lodge is a great little spot on old Route 66. Clean rooms, very friendly staff, and a cool mid-century vibe all make for a great stay. They also have dog-friendly rooms available and a nice little dog run area. We stay here on on our travels through New Mexico and always have a great stay. Pop in for a night next time you pass through Tucumcari!

The room was clean and tasteful done in the 50s theme. The only thing missing was in room coffee service but coffee was available at the office. Think this was done in keeping to the retro theme.
