Fun and comfy route 66 themed motel
Pros:

The room was creatively decorated with a route 66 theme. Very cool. It was reasonably spacious. Rather than a closet, there was an equivalent setup for hanging clothes and stashing folded items.

Cons:

Being a motel with vehicles parked right outside the door, it is not particularly quiet, especially on the first floor. But the charm of the place is pretty compelling.

Very nice stay. Comfortable.
Pros:

Very retro and comfortable. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Parking could be tight. I imagine if the hotel was full you might not get a spot but we didn’t have any problems.

Pros:

Very clean, cute rooms! Loved the room design and decor!

Cons:

The parking was a bit "tight". I drive an Expedition and there were a couple of times that parking was a pretty tight squeeze.

Отличный вариант для ночёвки в Альбукерке
Pros:

По сути это - классический мотель, но высокого качества! Реально красивый дизайн, все новое и чистое, очень уютно. Кондиционер тихий, горячая вода с хорошим напором, сильный wifi. Хорошее освещение в номере. Утром есть бесплатный кофе на ресепшене (по качеству средний) и вкусный капуччино за дополнительную плату. Расположен недалеко от аэропорта.

Cons:

Все хорошо

A much needed rest
Pros:

Newly remodeled, lots of thought for use not just looks. The staff were friendly, lots of amenities for guests.

Cons:

The neighborhood is a little sketchy but not as bad as 2 miles down the road. Albuquerque in general was littered with homeless drug addicts. Only complaint about the hotel itself would be the parking spaces are very tight and there doesn’t seem to be enough of them.
