Old 60's style motel. Clean, quiet, nostalgic with good amenities.
Dennis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An overnight stay on the way west. This is the only motel in 2400 miles of historic Route 66 that is still run by the family who built it. Their commitment to your comfort is as good as you'll find. A good alternative to staying in Albuquerque if that is not your ultimate destination.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cool little Rt 66 remnant in Moriarty NM. Pricing much better than Santa Fe, vintage building and grounds in decent shape, not fancy. Free baked goods and fruit for breakfast. I would stay here again cause it fits my style.
