Clean quiet room, very comfortable and a good night's sleep. The only drawback was the parking, which is a public parking lot for a shopping center. and somewhat confusting to locate if you have not been there before. Aside from that, really liked the property and the ambience.

We stayed for just one night while passing through. The property was so cute and clean! Our room was nice and cozy and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was welcoming and helpful. We took a little swim in the pool and it was mostly just families and people seeking something a little more interesting on road trips. we ate at the Costa Rican restaurant and the food was amazing. It was very convenient because you can walk the little shops and restaurants.

El Vado Motel is a really cute eclectic motel. They’ve obviously taken a lot of care and time to make it a great experience. We loved staying here. The rooms are comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and the pool is perfect for hot weather.

The one note I would give is for anybody traveling that needs high speed internet (work or for streaming etc), the internet was extremely slow and it made working difficult for me. Normally I’d use my cell phone as a hotspot as a backup but cell service was spotty and speeds were slow there too. As a backup I went to the Sawmill market down the street and found a quiet corner to take calls form and use their internet (and eat some tasty food!).

But that one lowlight for me does not diminish what a great motel and experience the El Vado is and would recommend it for solo travelers, couples or small families.

And I didn’t realize there would be so many nice food options and shops right there. And the plaza that was shared with hotel, restaurants, and tap room was so nice and welcoming.

I would definitely recommend staying here.

This is a nice, vintage motel. It is well kept, our room was up to date and the property is quaint. Check in and out staff were friendly, the bartender was friendly and we appreciated the small food businesses in the courtyard. For being a downtown place next to a busy road, our room was very quiet. It was a little difficult to find electrical plugs for all the items we had, but its understandable considering the age of the place.

We are doing Rte 66, so a retro motel sounded like fun. This place went above fun and brought it up to relaxing and comfortable. Nice courtyard with fountain, seating, outdoor dining and a seasonal pool. The thought and planning than went into the renovation shows as bright as the neon light of its namesake. Very affordable for what we got. It is located on a busy corner but it does quiet down by bedtime. We live in the country and don’t like city noise, but this didn’t bother us. This will be our go to place whenever we come back into Albuquerque.

This place was great for our one day in Albuquerque before flying out after visiting Santa Fe. The property is fun; the rooms are styled well and very clean. We enjoyed the complimentary beer from The Tap Room at one of the many outdoor tables. The outside spaces are a nice feature of this property. The room was clean and the bedding comfy. My only wish is that the pool was open. It was one of the key features that made me select The El Vado over other options and having the pool not open yet was a bit of a disappointment.

Staff was great, the rooms were in excellent shape and very comfortable. The tokens for free beer at their bar was a nice touch. I love the way the hotel was set up with the beautiful courtyard and restaurants, shops surrounding them. My only complaint? I had to circle several times to figure out where to park. If you’re facing the hotel, it’s on the left side. If you check in at night, park at the “retail parking only “. If it’s earlier, the area that says “parking permits only”. You think you can’t at either, but it’s the only place you can park. Besides that minor blip, it will be my go to in Albuquerque from now on.

Lovely hotel. Rooms beautifully renovated. Clean and comfortable. Outside areas clean and attractive. Lovely seating areas. Pool looked nicenut not heated and too cold to use this time of year. There are nearby eating options but we stayed on a Sunday night so they were limited. Rooms are a bit pricey, especially as there is no breakfast provided, not even a few snacks. You do get a free drink in the bar.There was coffee in the lobby, but that wasn't great. It is situated on a very busy, noisy road but our room was far enough away that we got a good night's sleep.

Place is an old hotel that was updated. Everything seemed OK but the room had a funny smell, but the longer we stayed seemed like the worst that old moldy musky smell became. Was like as if you were living in a basement that was once flooded. We left early the last night and let the staff know they did call and apologize, which was nice. But for the price it cost to stay I don’t think we’ll be back at this hotel ever.

The room was very small. You couldn’t turn the shower on without getting cold water on you first. You had to step out of the shower to get to the shampoo and soap as it was at the other end of the shower. The coffee maker cord wasn’t long enough to plug it in without moving it to another area. There weren’t enough outlets for our devices, including a plug next to the bed for a c-pac machine. It was a cute hotel and the courtyard was lovely, but we were cramped and couldn’t leave the property to the parking lot because we had left the key in the room and couldn’t get back in. Because of the balloon festival, it was $350 and wasn’t worth that expense.
