    Loved this little family run hotel on our cross country trip. They have a Tesla charger!!!!!

    Great location, friendly staff. The bagged breakfast to go was really good! My husband loved the bear claw pastry and muffin. The shower / sink could use a little refresh/refurbishment. The heat is strange. There is a radiator and an AC, I think the AC fan comes on and is supposed to blow the radiator heated air into the room. It was a little chilly but warm if you stood directly next to the radiator. I was glad there was a fridge and coffee maker and the room was large. The bed was fine. The parking was good. I would stay here again, but I think it's a little more worn than you are led to believe. Overall, a good stop over for our road trip.

    Good restoration.

    Fun old, yet well restored and safe, Route 66 motel. We were met quickly by the very friendly owner, who gave us the keys and told us to go to our rooms to get out of the heat while he did our paperwork. Rooms were restored, 1950's style, and fun. For some reason, our two rooms were not adjoining, despite having a reservation a month in advance. I took lots of photos, and imagined driving my 1963 Falcon down Route 66 to stay there at some point in the future. Breakfast was nothing but some muffins, and a promise for some green chili omelets which never happened -- disappointing. My kids were told not to "frolic" in the parking lot -- they were just throwing a frisbee back and forth, nowhere near the cars or anything else that could possibly be damaged -- disappointing. Price was on the high side, and based on the two above disappointing issues, we will stay elsewhere next time.

    I'd give this for stars but there were a few issues with my room. The bad - my room didn't seem fully clean. It smelled of dog and there was no fan on when I walked in, making the smell strong. There was also food and fur on the bench by the front door. I did not eat on the bench nor did I bring a pet. I think it might benefit from good deep clean of the carpet. It could also use something more on the window to block out the light and people who look in a they could see the beds. The okay - there is an outside seating area, but it smelled strongly of gas which made me wonder about the old looking propane tank in the barbecue. The good - the bed was comfortable, there was a cat in the lobby, and there were fresh baked pastries for breakfast, along with two clementines. It is a cute motel, and the bathroom was nice. Also the soap in the bathroom smelled great.

    What a fun experience!! My son and I stayed here on the way to a baseball tourney. I booked it based on all of the awesome reviews, and they were not wrong!! I was looking for a motel off of Route 66 and this was perfect...The room was charming, vintage and so clean! The owner met us at check-in and suggested a dinner option, gave us our keys and a bag of yummy muffins. When we walked into the room it was like walking back in time! So fun! Definitely stop here if you're traveling through!

    Very low tech wind up clock.

    After reading reviews on this motel, we booked it for the night. We were pleasantly surprised by the warm and welcoming reception from the owner. The motel looked clean and well maintained from the outside. We were informed they no longer offered continental breakfast, but provided us with homemade muffins and oranges. Perfect for us. We received the key, an actual key, and pulled the car directly in front of the door. Upon entry we saw it was a small room but very clean and welcoming. There was a rubber duck and chocolate kisses to help us enjoy the room. The bed was clean and comfortable, tv worked great with many channels from which to choose. Coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave provided. Bathroom was clean and towels were soft and absorbent. I strongly suggest stopping here if your driving on the I-40. So glad we stayed out of the bigger city and away from the chain hotels. You will not be disappointed.

    Cute attention to detail.

    When traveling the 40, we often stop for the night in Moriarity and on this particular roadtrip, we…read morestopped at this hotel on our way out and again our way back. Sydney at the front desk recognized me when I came back and she was able to get us a room that minimized the amount of walking to/from as one family member is currently have mobility issues. The rooms are clean, the hotel is quiet, the parking lot is safe, and the breakfast is good. They offer both corn or flower tortillas with breakfast. The indoor pool and jacuzzi are nice to wind down after a long day driving. It is a small town and there aren't a lot of places to eat, but we've all been happy with both Nachos and La Hacienda which are both located near the hotel. The hotel also has some frozen meals available that are very inexpensive if you just want to microwave something quick to eat before heading to sleep. We have stayed here many times over the years and have never had any problems. I think this is the second time I've reviewed them, but we've been stopping here every year or two for what I think is about twenty years now.

    Overall Rating: 3.5/5 - Honest Review from a Traveler, Not......an Influencer…read more I was traveling through this area on vacation and chose this hotel based on reviews -- it had a 4.9 rating, the highest in the area. That said, I'm not sure how it earned that score. I suspect a few influencers may have artificially boosted the rating without even staying here. I'm not saying this is a bad place to stay, but it's definitely not a 4.9 -- not even close. I just want to give an honest account so others can make an informed decision. PROS: Security/Parking: Felt like a safe area. Our vehicle was untouched overnight, and parking was well-lit. Interior Design: The hotel is older, but it's been updated -- mostly with fresh paint and new furniture. Room Appearance: Generally clean. Rooms have hardwood floors instead of carpet, which helped with cleanliness. Breakfast: The breakfast was fresh and tasty -- no complaints here. Bed Quality: Beds were comfortable enough. The pull-out sofa wasn't great, but that's not unusual for pull-outs. Entertainment: Large TV with a good variety of channels -- definitely a plus. Pool: Pool and pool area were well-maintained and inviting. CONS: Customer Service: Check-in experience was poor. The front desk clerk was on her phone when we walked in. She seemed rushed and disinterested when helping us, like she had to get back to her conversation. Amenities: Only two washcloths provided in a suite with two queen beds and a pull-out -- not ideal. Towels and washcloths were rough and felt cheap. Also, bring your own body wash and shampoo -- the ones provided didn't lather or rinse well, according to several in our group. Housekeeping/Condition: There was a damp, musty odor in the room -- likely due to the age of the building. The overall cleanliness was acceptable, but the smell lingered. Food Options Nearby: Not much to choose from in the immediate area, so plan to eat before you arrive or drive a bit to find something decent. Final Thoughts: If you're just looking for a place to crash for the night, this hotel may work. But go in with realistic expectations -- this is more of a 3-3.5 at most star experience, not a luxury stay. I'm not trying to discourage you, just sharing an honest take so you're not misled by glowing 5-star reviews.

We were drenched and frozen when we arrived. The hotel is older and kind of run down, but we had a delightful stay. The beds were ok, the bathroom was clean with a good hot shower with awesome pressure. What made this stay so memorable was the guy working the front desk. He was super kind, unlocking and allowing the 4 of us to take our delivered pizza into the breakfast area. He was picking up extra hours because someone had quit the day before. Very nice guy. The breakfast was amazing, above and beyond what we were expecting, based on the reviews. I don't think we will ever be traveling through this town again, but if we were to find ourselves there, we'd definitely stay here again.

    Stay somewhere else…read more Tl;dr fraudulent credit card charges; yelling clerks. Read on for full details. I prepaid my stay which included all fees and taxes. There was a problem at check-in, I showed them my receipt, which included :$124.56 for the room and 13.62 for taxes and fees. The clerk said that taxes weren't paid and listed a different amount, 11.59, owed in taxes. The clerk couldn't check me in because the system wouldn't let her because the system said the taxes weren't paid, even though I pre-paid. This ordeal took a long time and I had to go out to my car and get my phone to show her my receipt and that I paid everything. I wanted to check-in and get food as everything around here closes at 8 pm. The clerk called her manger. It was clearly a glitch in the system. I waited. The manager took care of it and I was eventually checked-in. When I went to check out early in the morning to get on the road, I had to shout to find someone to help as there was no bell or buzzer to ring and no one around. A young couple with a baby had been waiting to check out too. They said no one was there. Eventually a woman showed up, checked me out. Fine. Said nothing about the earlier glitch with the taxes. Went to my car and got an alert from my credit card. They had fraudulently charged me the 11.59 in taxes I did not owe. I needed to get on the road, but went back inside to resolve this right away. There was a man at the counter this time. i explained the situation, that this was a glitch in the system and they needed to fix it. He said it wasn't a glitch and I owed the taxes and that's why I was charged and he could not reverse the erroneous charge, etc. He was argumentative and unhelpful. I made it clear that i was very busy and this was turning into a huge hassle for me and that if I left the premises without this issue being resolved, despite having stayed here many times over the past two years, I'd never stay here again. The clerk then yelled at me!!! "I don't care if you never stay here again." I now have to call my credit card compan--this is a travel card--and have them reverse this fraudulent charge. And deal with all of this hassle over a period of several days. Don't stay here unless you want to be fraudulently charged and yelled at.

    After driving through the nightmare of Albuquerque , New Mexico at night I made it to Edgewood…read more This is the only hotel in town , but it looked better and had better reviews than the next town , Moriarty. I booked using Priceline to save a couple bucks and it was still $152 with taxes and fees. Some of the reviews of the Moriarty places stated about their cars being broken into , so I paid the extra to stay here because my SUV was loaded with my stuff and I had a hitch box on my rear bumper because I was moving from Las Vegas to Oklahoma. The employee that checked me in was very nice and he told me to park by the charging area under the solar panels with the RVs to be the safest area and well lit. There was one RV parked there , but in the morning there was 2 more , one with a boat. I had free breakfast in the morning with a few others and they had an older lady attendant that was making sure everything was stocked up and clean. Nice lady. It was funny the guys behind me mentioned how the eggs tasted like from the Army and me being a Veteran told them I agreed , they tasted like the reconstituted ones we had during maneuvers. The sausage patty was pretty plain so I put some pancake syrup on it , orange juice was watered down , biscuit was pretty good but gravy had some sausage bits but not very flavorful so lots of pepper I had to put on it. They had cereal and yogurt too and a waffle maker. There is also a coffee machine in the lobby 24 hours a day and also have hot tea. There was 2 or 3 computers for guests to use. I used that night for about 15 minutes for something I really couldn't do on my phone which was convenient. The parking lot was clean and well lit and appeared to be in a safe area. I went to the Subway just next door for a sandwich that night and they give you a discount for staying at the hotel , but it was the worst stale Subway sandwich I've ever had ! Now the room , first thing when I walked in the floor was sticky. It looked clean , but they must have mopped over a spilled soda or something. Other than that the beds were clean and made nice and the room looked like a Comfort Inn room with 2 queen beds , mini refrigerator , microwave , coffee pot with coffee and accessories. I got a regular room not a Suite so no couch or living room , but there was a chair. The next morning I took a shower and on the wall in 2 different places was a long black hair , way longer than mine and mine are unfortunately gray , but at 58 I still got more hair than guys I work with that are in there 30's ha ha. The rest of the bathroom was clean and came with some amenities. On the wall of the shower they have mounted body wash , shampoo , and conditioner that were a mint smell. Not bad , but not what I would pick , but hey I'm just traveling. I was on the 2nd floor and the elevator worked , but was a little shaky. All in all it's a pretty decent hotel , but I don't think it's worth $150.00 to stay here. I would say it should be around half the price , $75.00 a night. As I said the only reason I paid this was because I didn't feel safe staying in Moriarty with my vehicle loaded. They also have an indoor pool which I didn't use. I only stayed the one night and then back on the road.
