This motel is so cool! We were blessed to get the room on the end so we only had neighbors on one side (that we never heard a peep out of by the way). This motel is dripping with all the Route 66 throwback vibe but with thankfully some modern conveniences such as the microwave and refrigerator that we threw our leftover bbq goodies in to enjoy later. The bed was comfortable and there was a futon/couch to sit on. The rates were reasonable and the room was very clean. It was nice that the upgrades included a completely renovated bathroom with porcelain tub and ceramic tile and updated sink and flooring. The staff were very accomodating and laid back.

Sunrise from La Mesa!

Yelpers are spot on here, once again. Immaculately clean and right on Route 66. Arguably the most comfortable bed on the entire cross country drive! Friendly personal service. 4 stars for all of the above - certainly not luxurious but priced accordingly! La Mesa is Definitely a throwback to a simpler time, in a good way. We are traveling in mid winter and it was extremely cold, so pack warm gear to sleep in as the heat is not reliable. Just a minor point. If you're looking for a clean and simple place to sleep and nothing more (and I do mean nothing) then La Mesa is a good choice!

Office, parking lot

Unfortunately, the lady that manages the place sent me a very hateful text message. At first I asked her if she knew who she was texting. I was so confused and no clue what she was talking about. I think the owners are amazing,clean , honest.. but the lady that manages it seems to be battling with drug addiction.

9 times out of 10 I will always pass these places when traveling but I went with my fellow yelpers and went with their recommendations. I was greeted with some cool neon and a smile from the guy that met me. It is a small place but I had high hopes. I was in 18 & that's right next to the office that was crazy big with a king bed. The bathroom was nice and clean. Reasons why I didn't give a 5 star - there wasn't any hot water this morning. Outside of that I actually enjoyed my stay

Beautiful towel presentation.

Got the last room of the night on a holiday weekend. The room was immaculate upon entry. The room has its own air conditioning unit. It has a small refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker with K-cups. The towels are folded in designs. The king sized bed is very comfortable. WiFi is free. Very friendly front desk. Large TV, large couch, and a chair. Rates were great!

See all

Hampton Inn Santa Rosa - Guest room

We cannot say enough good things about our experience at the Hampton Inn in Santa Rosa, New Mexico…read more What started as a stressful situation--my husband's truck breaking down and a painful foot injury that we feared might be broken--turned into something truly special because of the incredible staff here. From the moment we arrived, the kindness and care we received went far beyond anything we expected. Manager Amy runs an outstanding team and clearly sets the tone for genuine compassion and service. Ray at the front desk was especially wonderful--he went out of his way to help us, even connecting us with his sister Juana, who graciously stepped in to give us rides around town when we needed them. That level of personal care is something you just don't see anymore. Ray himself was also incredibly inspiring and helpful throughout our stay. Susan, who took care of hospitality and the kitchen, made sure we were comfortable and well cared for every day. Andrea kindly gave us a ride to the hospital, Jeremy made sure we got safely back, and Carlos helped with transportation to the mechanic so we could deal with the truck. Each person we encountered showed genuine kindness, generosity, and a willingness to go above and beyond. In a difficult moment, they treated us more like family than guests. If you're ever in Santa Rosa, this is the place to stay. Not just for the rooms--but for the truly exceptional people who work there. Thank you all again for everything--you made a hard situation so much easier, and we will never forget it.

We have been on the road since 11/1 and have stayed every night at either a Hampton Inn or Garden…read moreInn. This is our last night on the road, and our last "Hilton experience". While I don't like to give poor reviews, this Hampton did not meet our expectations and was the lowest quality we experienced. The room was clean, but VERY dated and truly did not feel like a Hilton hotel. As it did have some updates, it just felt old and the shower, while looked clean, just kind of made it feel dirty by being so dated. Also, we could hear constant squeaking on the floor above from the guests walking. The breakfast was good and equal to some of the other hotels, (some others were outstanding) so no complaints for Santa Rosa. The game-room with pool table was a nice surprise, but Hilton, i. My opinion THIS IS NOT HAMPTON INN QUALITY/STANDARDS. I would suggest mandating updates as we were disappointed and will not stay at this hotel again.

Find a different place. This place appears clean, but the entire place has an unpleasant sewer…read moresystem smell. Not sure what it's from, but it got worse in the hallway leading to our room. Later, we noticed they have plug-in air fresheners in the halls near the elevator, as though they are trying to cover it up. Breakfast was okay, but the OJ machine was out of service. Friendly staff (not sure why people say they're rude). Also, it was clean, but not exactly sparkling in the room. As I said, find a different place to stay.

Giving 3 stars only for the parking situation and not having hot water. I just stayed here January…read more2nd now I did get in late and had a flatbed trailer with me but the parking lot was completely full there were cars, trucks and trailers doubled parked to fit everywhere. The front desk worker was super nice and friendly but said I'd have to park across the street where a few others did in another parking lot that didn't belong to them. I didn't feel comfortable with that so I ended up parking along the curb against the building to make my own parking spot. There was plenty of Tesla chargers and parking for there if you had an ev but if you are pulling a trailer I suggest arriving early due to the small parking lot. The hot water situation in the room not sure if it was because everyone was taking a shower at once or if there was another issue but even with the valves turned all the way hot it was still cold. Other than that the room was really clean with a comfortable bed with easy on off access to i40.

Recommend: Yes…read more -Cost conservative. -Spacious rooms. -Continental Breakfast. -Quiet. -Spacious indoor pool. -Wide walkways. Generously sized foyer, breakfast bar and meeting rooms. The property actually has quite a generous footprint and parking is sufficient but close... Tuck in your mirrors! The property is quite aged, brown carpet really requiring some steam cleaning but each room had a sizeable platform, semi modern design and a clean hot shower to get you going. This review teetered between a 3/4 but it GETS a 4 because the price point is RIGHT! It's quiet, indoor entrance platform with ice machines and washing machines on the property really make it a highly recommended price point for under $125.00!!

My choice of this hotel was proximity to a required stop…read more Upon check in I was told that all first floor rooms were taken and I had been put in a second floor room. Normally a non-issue. I travel with a small collapsible wagon to bring things in for a stay. Then I was informed there is no elevator. Not that it was out of order, but the building does not have one. I had no other choice but to stay. Multiple trips were required to bring everything in including a cooler. The stairs closest to the entrance that was recommended to me were just raw metal. It was ironic that there was an accessible button for the door there. It did have an access to the first floor, but if someone checked in that needed accessibility and the first floor was sold out they would be out of luck. I was traveling with my daughter. We went down for breakfast in the morning, made our plates and headed back to our room. Breakfast was ok. My daughter liked that the New Mexico symbol was on her waffle. The staff was nice and there is plenty of parking.
