The Sunset Motel has been the highlight of our cross-country road trip. The owner, Mike, the son of the of man who built and started it in 1959. Mike and his wife are 2 of the kindest souls we have met on our trip. They have lovingly restored the property. It is a pet friendly property. We have made new friends and we will always be stopping by in our future travels, be sure to chat with them bit. read more

Highly recommend!! Throwback gem! Even KEYS with plastic tags! Charming décor inside and out. Very comfortable. If we weren't travelling on a time frame, would've stayed another night. Plenty of parking for trucks. Chairs right outside the room for smoking. Patio with gas and charcoal grills. True down home hospitality. If we ever have the opportunity we will stay again! read more

I will definitely come her again if passing through. This is the nicest "roadside" motel I have ever been to. They were very nice, very accommodating, the room was very clean and tidy. They have a great little patio section with chairs, plants and a bbq for people who want to spend time out of the room and for smokers like myself. All of the bedding is white and you can see that is very clean. The rooms have coffee pots with complimentary coffee and tea. They give you an actual welcome letter with motel information and restaurant referrals for the local area. They serve complimentary breakfast in the office and it is real cute the way they have it set up. It was totally affordable for just myself and again, if I am ever that area again I will definitely stay there. read more

This place is like stepping back in time. I couldn't have loved the Sunset Motel more. Super retro, original, stylish, and clean. Adorable! (This would be a great place for photo and film shoots too.) read more

Conveniently located off freeway, we felt safe. The rooms were huge and so clean with great amenities for the price! It has a vintage mid century feel. I appreciated the furniture too. The woman at the front desk was so kind and helpful. Also, there was coffee, bagels, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, and more available in the morning. Highly recommended! Fun fact: it's the last original motel on historic Route 66 in all of New Mexico! read more

Sunset Motel - Cool vintage vibes. - Hotels Near Me - Moriarty, New Mexico

Simple cinder block rooms with mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Nothing fancy, but clean and well maintained. I would say rooms are just a tad overpriced, but service was good and I'm always willing to pay a couple extra bucks to support local businesses over chains. Would stay again. read more

Super Clean, affordable, friendly. I don't need much more than that. It's nothing fancy but they definitely take pride in their business and I appreciate that. This will be our designated stop every summer when we road trip to Utah. read more

Great place friendly large rooms I love the Decour Nice pillows and linens Two sinks so two people can get ready at the same time You feel like you get settled right in as soon as you walk to the door read more

By far the best little gem we've found on our way between Tulsa, Oklahoma and Santa Barbara, CA. Awesome, awesome, motel to stay in on historic Route 66. Absolutely the cleanest rooms ever. (There wasn't even a speck of dust on top of the light cover in the bathroom. Actually there wasn't even a speck of dust ANYWHERE!) Clean, clean,clean! The rooms had fun retro furniture and comfy beds. Super pet friendly. Incredibly sweet owners. Free little breakfast. Refrigerator and microwaves in every room. We will definitely make it a point to stay at the Sunset Motel next time we pass through New Mexico. read more

What a wonderful gem! Super clean rooms, great price, good WiFi, taking Covid precautions very seriously. No morning breakfast so the owner gave me local muffins when I checked in at night. I felt safe and had a lovely evening. read more

Very nice; clean, friendly, well kept-just right. I would absolutely stay here again if traveling thru the area.

Very disappointed we made an online reservation the website and the hotel website said it was dog friendly drove there the lady said they are not allowing pets anymore. I would not recommend this hotel to anybody she refuse to give us our money back so now we have to go through the credit card company read more

This is a great place to relax and see all the sites. Deborah is a great host and Libby (the resident cat) is a character. My room was clean and neat and quiet....just how I like it. I was out to visit friends and see the sites...this was the perfect base to do all that from. Had a great 5 days there. read more

This is one of those super clean, old fashioned American owned mom & pop motels! Comfortable beds & pillows, & best of all - they use the newer style of white washable duvet covers instead of those nasty floral bedspreads that who knows what..... read more

Its an older motel with a little bit of road-side charm. The mattress was uncomfortable but we did enjoy the 2 bedroom 1 bath for extra space. read more

Great little motel about 30 minutes or so east of Albuquerque off of Route 66. Very clean, comfortable, great no frills place. Pet friendly also! Staff was very accommodating and friendly. read more

Stayed one night and enjoyed the patio while sipping my complimentary coffee on the pretty patio. The bed was comfy, the water hot and the place was clean. The people were very helpful and friendly as well. read more

Some welcome I GOT! I am a truck driver who is stuck in Moriarty for the day. I run hard, a lot of miles every day for weeks at a time and feel very cooped up in this goddamn truck. I am tired and on my last nerve, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to have a real room with a real bed for the night. I parked the truck, and as I walked through the cute courtyard to the office, all I could think about was how nice it would be to have a real room with a real bed, where I don't have to walk all the way across a chilly, piss-soaked truck stop parking lot just to get to a bathroom because it's right inside the room, what a nice change. Wondered if they had a tub, how much better that would be than a shower. I even noticed the sticker in the window of high ratings from booking.com Nope. The door to the office was locked. Just then, some cranky, morbidly obese woman spotted me trying to get in and grunted from a distance "Use the OTHER door!" And pointed in a general direction. Apparently I turned incorrectly "no! The OTHER way!" No, that was wrong, too. Now she's sighing of clear impatience, throwing up her hands and ROLLING HER EYES AT ME. Ok, I'm done. I turned and walked back to the truck. Now she's trying to get me to stop "excuse me! Excuse me! Ma'am, I can help you." Gee, you don't say lol. I replied "I can sleep in the truck for free." as I walked back to the truck. And I was so angry, I had my co-driver turn the truck around and drive off. They must have had their friends & family shill them up some fake reviews OR I showed up on a bad day/time. As we were exiting the lot, some guy appeared to wave at us to stop, but no sale. I am not spending my hard earned money just to be condescended to. Would YOU have turned around? Down the road I go :.( read more

I was skeptical at first but once the comfort inn referred me over to them because their system was down. I was extremely impressed! I have never written a review before but I will just because of how welcoming the woman Debbie was. She is the owner here. It's not a Marriott but I felt safe and comfortable. Nice room and nice beds! Oh yeah and FREE wifi. Another one! They welcome pets! read more

Great place! Older, yes, but you could also call it a classic. Reminded me of motel stays as a kid. Good linens. Bed okay. Great amenities, and very helpful staff. read more

I love this place! The owners are very nice. They even gave us a larger room for no extra charge. We stayed for 4 nights. The housekeeper was amazing! She was so accommodating to our needs and very friendly. This is our 2nd time staying there and would stay again. We like the small town atmosphere rather than the big city of Albuquerque. Very clean and they offer cereal and bagels, etc. for breakfast. Great rates! read more

Very cool classic motel from the '60s run by a local family, that I stopped by on a chance, because it looked well-taken care of. Room was cozy and comfortable, classic, and quiet. More of a B&B homey feeling. Nice coffee in the morning, but I went down the road to Lisa's truck stop for a hearty breakfast (recommended by motel owner as best place around-- and it was!). The owners are well-traveled and accomplished people happy to chat over morning coffee, a pleasant surprise, and confirmed my decision to stay in as many small retro places as possible. Only glitch was a weak a/c, but though over 100 during the day, it cooled down into the 60s at night-- just opened the windows and was fine. After doing 600 miles on x-country trip that day, it was a very welcome place, and a fine model for anyone contemplating reviving a classic family-run motel. read more

This place is is a gem!!! Old school drive up to your door motel right on Route 66 off 40 just about 30 miles east of Albuquerque. Pet friendly. Our room was CLEAN and i mean CLEAN!! I am very picky. I looked everywhere, in every crack and it was spotless! Beds were great, pillows were great, towels were great! I looked at the tile in the shower and all the grout and the corners, spotless! I usually take in clorox wipes to wipe everything down in places i stay. I honestly didnt even feel the need to. It felt so good to stay in a place you could take a nice shower and relax wIthout feeling dirty or like you had to keep your shoes on! For the price you will not find better! read more

A clean motel right off of I-41. The couple that owns that place were very accommodating, giving us recommendations for things to do in Santa Fe. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms have a quaint 1960s vibe. A microwave and refrigerator were in the room and there was complimentary coffee and pastries in the morning. A fun find! read more

When driving from Texas to the Grand Canyon, the hotel options are limited and the budget is tight. We were lucky to find this gym of a local hotel along the way just after 10pm on a Wednesday night. Management was super friendly and helpful and got us into a comfy/clean room right away. I would definitely stop her again on my next cross-country roadtrip! read more

Love finding great motels and this one fit right in. Clean, quiet and perfect for motorcycle riders like us. Pull right up to our door, safe for the bikes. Mary was so kind and put some cleaning rags in our room for our motorcycles. It's those little things that make it worth it. It's a older motel, but super clean! read more

I decided to stay the night here based on yelp reviews and was not disappointed! The room is quaint and clean, at a reasonable price. The owner was very nice and the hotel's story is neat (see their website). I recommend staying here:) read more

Great place to stay if you are passing through town. The owners are extremely friendly and personable along with their cat! The rooms are immaculate. Bathrooms are very nice for an older motel. Outside is kept very clean and tidy with nice landscaping. You can tell the owners take great pride in the place and take care of it. read more

The property is well maintained and the rooms clean. My stay was super quiet given the close proximity to route 66 and fully occupied with guests. The proprietor of this establishment was attentive and friendly and I would gladly return. Comfy bed and pillows!! read more

This place is awesome! We had to stop and stay the night because of fog. We were so impressed by the price, friendliness of owner, cleanliness, wifi... Everything. You should definitely stay here. read more

This little motel is by far one of the best places to stay if you are traveling down I-40. The prices are more than reasonable. The rooms are CLEAN and comfortable. It is located on route 66 towards the east end of Moriarty away from the noise of "downtown". Keep in mind it's a small town so everything is close by. Staff at the Sunset Motel are friendly, helpful and inviting. This is an older motel that has been completely renovated. In our room, and I'm guessing all the rooms, we had a frig and micro. There was a flat screen tv that got all the channels you could want and wifi if you need that sort of thing. Outside some of the rooms are chairs for sitting in the cool desert air and watching the sun set or actually talking to other travelers. This quaint place is reminiscent of the old motor lodges people would stay at when "road tripping". Honestly it will add to the enjoyment of your whole trip. We stayed in Sep and will definitely stay again. If you are traveling east and planning on stopping in Albuquerque drive a little further, or going West, stop a little sooner, and skip the high prices and crime in ABQ. Great place...just watch out for the watch kitty....you'll see. read more

It's a nice quiet older motel. It's very clean and I definitely will stay there again my next time through.

Wonderful place to stay for those traveling along I-40. The rooms are cozy and well-decorated, and the heater is super quiet (certainly not a given in motels). There is free breakfast in the morning, plus a cat in the office who sometimes pops in to say hello. read more

What a great throwback to the days of Rt. 66 and travel by car to the far reaches of the country. We stopped for a stay to just remember the good old days, what a surprise, other than dated the place is great. The rooms are clean, new comfy beds, new efficient air conditioner and a memory jogger if I ever seen one. The owner was the nicest guy who explained some of the history of the place as well as surrounding buildings and town. We enjoyed our stay so much we stayed in the same room three weeks later on our return trip home. Way to go guys, best of luck and thank you. read more

We decided to take a chance and try this out. It was like going back in time but with modern conveniences. Great experience! Very clean! Great pillows and linens. Pet friendly. Owners were very nice and helpful. Air conditioner worked well. Parking lot was well lighted at night. I felt very safe. I was most impressed with the cleanliness. We travel a lot and the chain hotels have been very disappointing for one reason or the other. We were impressed with this place. We will definitely stay here again. read more

This is the second time we have stayed here and it just keeps getting better. Very friendly owners and truly concerned that your needs are met. Very clean rooms with updates. I would recommend this place and will return when in the area. Ate at Shorty's down the street and great BBQ dinner. Stayed in room 16, which is two room suite with 3 beds so great for families or others that want some privacy. read more

Great experience. Clean rooms. No smells. Cheerful and polite front desk clerk. AC works well. Nice hospitality. We asked for extra blankets and the clerk brought them right away. Cozy beds. Better than staying in Albuquerque for sure. I've traveled a lot and slept in my fair share of hotels and I would definitely recommend this one. read more

We stayed at this hotel over Memorial Day weekend. We came to New Mexico to attend the high school graduation in Edgewood. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. They allow up to two pets, which is hard to find a hotel that is pet friendly. They have chairs outside the rooms to sit and enjoy the evening or mornings. An area to walk your dogs. A nice outdoor patio with grill. In room refrigerator and microwave. It's a no frills place that is reasonably priced. We were very happy with our room. They even allowed us to check in a little early (I called ahead to see if we could since we were arriving in town earlier than expected). Very accommodating!!! read more

Very clean! Whoever takes care of this place does a great job. You can tell they care. Everything is a bit dated but is in excellent shape. There aren't many plug ins but there are a couple of USB plugs to charge stuff. The beds are a bit hard for my liking but they do the job. There was no smell when we walked in which made me happy. I hate places that try to cover up nasty carpet or cigarette smoke with perfume. Our room had the typical coffee maker, microwave, fridge and a small flat screen that actually lets you connect a PS4. The internet worked fine for writing this review but it had some lag according to my son. It is around 25 degrees and falling as I write and the gas fired heater has no problem keeping you toasty. All in all, it's a super throw back place I can recommend with confidence. I would give 5 stars but breakfast is continental and for the price, other places provide the usual fake eggs, sausage and waffles. I'm glad we stayed here instead of a chain hotel. I'm glad to help mom and pop businesses whenever I can and this one is worth it. read more

Clean, comfortable, reasonably priced. Owner Debbie was very personable and accommodating. Off the beaten path but lots of restaurants nearby. read more
