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

Such an awesome place. It has kept all of its original Route 66 charm, but has ensured the comfort and cleanliness is of high priority. If you are visiting Albuquerque or driving through and need a place to stop…this is it! 10/10!
