    When the lottery payouts are high I typically purchase advanced draw tickets in each state I…read moretravel. while traveling thru NM I had purchased tickets for which I had a $20 win. I gave my winning ticket (which had a remaining draw) to a clerk at Loves Travel Stop #262. The clerk named Destiny checked the ticket, received the payout stub and the exchange ticket that should have been returned to me. She took several minutes reading the slips that were output. So I am certain she was aware of each ticket's purpose. I asked her if there was confusion about what was output. She very rudely answered "No," she then proceeded to give me my $20 winnings but not the lottery exchange ticket (which for me was most valuable). When I ask where was my exchange ticket, she walked over, grabbed it and slammed it down on the counter with an attitude. SHE DEFINITELY INTENDED TO KEEP IT!

    The thing I will say about Loves is it's more than just gas, It's a convenient store with plenty of…read moreauto trucker type items as well. The gas is high quality. The bathrooms were clean, and the staff were keeping things stocked and clean. They also had some fresh cut fruit, which was a nice change of pace instead of regular junk food. They also usually have some type of hot food available, whether it's a restaurant that's part of it or a hot sandwich cold sandwich area.They have a consistent product. There's plenty of trucker services from showers to qas and parking that were adequate for the truckers and for vehicles.

    Roadrunner Lodge Motel covered all of my expectations and then some during my roadtrip this summer…read more My dog and I stayed over one night back on August 2, 2026. My room cost before taxes was $139.49. Let me tell ya' - that dog was spoiled even more so than usual! The Furry Friend fee was $29. This humble little motel is located on the famous Route 66 Boulevard in Tucumcari, NM. I checked in right at 4PM. Received my old-fashioned room key by an extremely nice receptionist and parked right in front of our room. My canine was so excited by the fresh green grassy area equipped with doggy clean-up bags, watering station, and double gates. Right next to that area was the firepit with a few chairs. They also had a bowl in the room for her, a wash cloth that I could have bought, and a couple of treats. They also left two cans of RC Cola and two Moon Pies for me. Some mid-century style touches that added the vibes to our ground floor premium king bed room: + very comfortable and clean plush bed + two chairs and a small table were just outside the room + well-lit parking lot at night + window shade that was able to block out above-stated lights (I like it pitch dark when I sleep) + retro bathroom details + flamingo print shower curtain + Magic 8 Ball + and my personal favorite: a vintage radio tuned to the motel's own private, short-range radio station. They played commercials from the era and lots of fun tunes throughout the night. In the canteen/courtesy room: + A shared fridge + Microwave + Ice for drinks (bagged ice for sale in the lobby) + Coin-op laundry

    After a long day of business and crossing several state lines, we ended up in Tucumcari New Mexico…read moreand found our way to the Roadrunner Lodge. It came recommended from the blue swallow Motel which was full for that night. It's along Route 66 and with the Centennial celebration coming up soon, it was wonderful to be able to see this motel in its updated glory. The Roadrunner Lodge is considered mid-century modern. The room was nicely decorated and created the feel of going back in time. Very well kept with some nice updates, while staying true to the theme of a bygone era. Tucumcari was once considered a little Las Vegas because of all of its neon signs. A lot of the businesses have kept some of those neon signs alive, which makes it beautiful to drive through at night. The owner of the Roadrunner Lodge has a passion for keeping those neon signs lit and active in his community. There is not a coffee maker in the room, but there is a nice coffee station with breakfast treats in the front office in the morning. This was a fun and pleasant stay and I would recommend this motel, especially for anyone with nostalgia of Route 66.
