Second time of staying here. A great place to grab a night of sleep when passing through. Also, it seems very pet friendly if you have one.

This motel is great. Classic Route 66 motel. Close to Albuquerque but out in the country. Comfy and nice but not fancy. Owners were good communicators. Only tiny issues are 1) lack of plug ins, including no bedside electric; and 2) wifi was spotty the night we stayed. We'd stay here again if ever in the area.

This was an unexpected gem! The owners were so welcoming. The special touches in the breakfast bag and also the room brought such joy to these weary travelers doing Route 66 in the 1966 Mustang. Will make this a destination stop in the future!

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.
