I recommend for a fun night or two.
Nice restored c. 1965 Route 66 motel in the center of Albuquerque. The rooms are small but comfortable, and the place has been fixed up in a hip, cheerful way. The hosts are friendly & the bar is a nice place to hang out. I recommend for a fun night or two while in Albuquerque.

The motel is about 10 min. walk to the main downtown (around Broadway) and 20 min. walk to the campus. Impeccably clean room, with high-quality construction of the room. I don't understand others' complaints about road noise; my room was one of the closer ones to the main road and I heard no noise at all. It's recently renovated in a transitioning neighborhood. I was very glad to stay here and give a boost to a locally owned business that has done a really great job. The only disappointment was that the pool was closed the two days I was there. I was looking forward to a swim in the evenings. I don't know why it was closed, because it looked perfectly inviting as in the photos.

I was so disappointed to have traveled for hours ready to shower to arrive to a hotel that had dirty towels with blood on them. Also the beds are extremely soft so I ended up with back pain. Also pool was not working and my kids came with me just to enjoy the pool. I mean it is cute but my experience was disappointing after a 8hr drive.

The property has been BEAUTIFULLY updated, with lovely and unexpected touches in the rooms: bottles of water, modern decor, an adorable vintage-looking fridge, and even a clothing steamer in the closet space! My room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and very comfortable. My ONLY critique is that there were no power outlets or charging ports on either side of the bed (which seemed strange, given how much thought obviously went into all other aspects of the space)! Other than that, it was fantastic, and an excellent value for the price!

Do not pay attention to the reviews that say you can’t hear the traffic. The owners must have posted those. You can hear everything! Neighbors and traffic. The front office is never open. There is a little restaurant area and a bar which I appreciate however the fryer oil permeates the whole bar making it hard to breath and you end up smelling like oil

As a woman traveling alone this was a really bad experience. There should be warnings that these are outside room entries. No elevators And maybe it was bad timing but there was a pretty rough crowd on the street outside at two in the afternoon. I ended up not staying. It was too scary for me.
