Cross country trip.

Loved this cute historic route 66 motel.. Renovations are modern, room was spacious with a living area and the most comfortable bed. A couple of observations, the bathroom floor sounding like cracking when walking on it. May be due to water damage under the flooring. Loved the walk in shower but water does get on floor. The area is walkable to Old Town Alburquerque and the River park. The complimentory glass of wine at check in was unexpected, and appreciated. Olivia was very knowledgeable of the area.Wish we had more time to explore Alburquerque. Will stay here again

The room was charming, modern and spotless with all the amenities included. What we did not like was that the only restaurant near the motel was closed at 5pm on a Saturday night. There was a festival going on and so many cars it was impossible to get out to find anything to eat. Luckily we turned a corner to go back to the motel and we spotted a Wendy's . we normally would go to a proper sit down but that was not going to happen. My husband and I both agree not to stop in Albuquerque again ever when traveling.

Bad element in the parking lot

I really like this hotel and stay here frequently (once or twice a month) when traveling for work. On my most recent stay, I was harrassed by a man in the parking lot. He was irrationally screaming at me. I don't think he was staying at the hotel and seemed to be having an issue with being turned away. He and his friends hanging in the parking lot and near the door to the check-in area made me very uncomfortable. Also, the floor needs to be vacuumed more thoroughly.
