This was a nicely renovated property, upscale but a throwback to the classic Route 66 feel. It was nearby downtown ABQ enough that I could walk there so it was a perfect stop along the main drag.

An honest review- room was very clean. Check in and out was easy. There are a few restaurants within walking distance. Nice bed (soft mattress) and pillows. Quite a bit of traffic noise all night long, something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper, but overall a very nice stay
