Everything about this hotel is fantastic, some remodeling happening, but a great place to stay. Also close to a few very good restaurants instead of eating at fast food.

Great Route 66 motel experience

The person who welcomed us at check in was really friendly and offered great recommandations for food around Grants. I really loved the vinyl record player in the room with an album that I have back home. It felt like home. The AC unit was a bit loud, that'd the only down side during our stay.

Retro motel near El Malpais. Location was great. Bed was comfy and room seemed clean, but a little run down. Shower was awful. I’m always a little suspicious when linens and towels are gray because it hides stains. Front desk was pleasant.
