Nicely renovated historic property close to old town. Quiet area that is variable in states of renovation. Tap room small and cozy with live music on weekend. Relatively empty the weekend we were there in January. Small room but very comfortable.

Stayed here for the night and thought it was a very unique and neat stay. Keep in mind that the rooms are older and it shows in a few minor areas. We had some issues with a dirty towel in the bathroom, but we typically travel with our own bedding and some towels (been there/done that in cheaper motels) just in case so we used those instead of asking for new ones as we got there kind of late.

We liked the tap room service and good coffee in the office in the morning. The Costa Rican restaurant right on the circle the tap room guy recommended was amazing!

Beautiful little motel within walking distance of Old Town Albuquerque. Nicely remodeled. Suite was very comfortable & surprisingly quiet even though the motel is on a main road. Fun to stay in a place with some history, a refurbished Route 66 motel.
