The only thing that was wrong with the room was a broken bathroom handle, and the door that separated the other room the lock didn’t seem like it was working to keep the rooms, but otherwise it was clean and it was nice. The staff was great. He even told me that he was gonna fix everything but I got there before he could fix it so I thank him for apologizing, but otherwise it was good thank you and God.

Needed a less expensive place to stay for a few days and came upon this place online. Staff was kind and helpful. The room looked like it wasn't completely cleaned. There was no extra or new toilet paper, the beds were uncomfortable and it didn't look like the blankets or sheets were changed out. I'd say if you are just passing through this place would be ok. Not really good for extended stays.

Older motel that has been neglected over time but not the worst for the price. First lady was not very helpful but the man that came next was MUCH better. The room, as well as the building have seen better days but again, for the price, it's not too bad. As of mid June 2026, ignore the ice machine outside. They have a much smaller unit in the office.

The room smelled awful like musty and dirt. It hits you as soon as you walk in. The bed smelled even more musty and had stains. The restroom smelled like urine and was missing a doorknob. The lights did not turn on and i had to use the lamp. The room was also very humid but at least the AC worked. At night, you can hear fast cars and creaking floors/walls.

Check-in was ok. We got to the room and there was a really heavy MOLDY small in the room. I washed my hands, and a huge COCKROACH came out of the drain. After that, the sink would not drain. I went to the front desk, and the guy said he was gonna send \"maintenance.\" The maintenance guy was not dressed appropriately. His shorts and underwear were hanging off his behind, showing everything. He tried to use a small snake to clean it, the smell was getting worse. I went back to the front desk. I told him that the mold smell was getting worse, he said to wait and see if it can get cleaned and that's where the smell was coming from. Plus he stated that there were no more rooms available and he didn't want to cancel anyone. So I went back to the room. The smell was making me feel sick, I had my elderly mother with me and I didn't want her to get sick from the smell. So I again went back to the front desk and told him that, he just got kind of upset and grabbed his computer aggressively and said, OK! I'll move you and just close the room. He put us next door. We moved in and the smell was better. BUT... in the restroom, there was another big roach on the floor. I killed I and tried to flush it, the toilet would NOT flush.. i called the front again on my cellphone, because there was NO phone cord on the house phone. I told him about the toilet, he sighed heavy and brought a plunger. He flushed it and just watched the water overflow onto the floor. He brought 3 small towels.

We have called it an adventure, but not one we want to do again. The property was overall poorly maintained. The plumbing in the shower moved around; the bathroom sink stopper wouldn't open, so we used the sink minimally; the bathroom floor didn't look mopped; the floor seemed gritty; the lighting was grim; the curtains had adhesive labels holding holes closed; the air conditioner/heater was noisy; and we saw a roach 2x during the visit. Ugh.

The decor did match the images online, but the reality was much more run down. Also, next to the interstate, we couldn't believe how many locals don't use mufflers. A lot of highway noise.

Coffee was only available during the \"free breakfast\" 8-10 am and 1 waffle maker and packaged granola bars barely qualifies as a breakfast, especially since there was a long line for waffles. Just enough breakfast to justify saying they offer it on the internet. For about $170/night, I would expect so much better. While Super 8's aren't expected to be luxury; in my experience, they've met the basics. This Super 8 did not.

Two positives: Bobby at the front desk was excellent to interact with, very friendly and helpful. Also, the bed was actually pretty comfortable. These kept it from being a single star.

Since we had paid upfront, we stuck it out - called it an adventure, but we would never stay there again, nor would we recommend it to anyone.

The room was beautiful, however, my socks (and a washcloth that i cleaned up a wet mess with) were terribly dark with road dust. If the floor had been mopped, wet or dry, it would not have been evident. The fact that this property is right on Central should be considered, as it is a main drag, and people drive it all hours of the night. Drivers show off dragsters, and modifications on modern hotrods, and \"bump\" their choice of music very loudly, with no consideration that people might want to be sleeping after dark!! Considering this hotel is right on the Historic Old Route 66, it is charming. There was no continental breakfast, as advertised, but the owner was extremely grateful for my business, and happily got me a 3rd bath towel. I would stay there again, but have earplugs to stop the noise level from awakening me.

Had to ring a bell to get in. Immediately asked what room number he was in. And what his name was. Be cause his first name is different than mine. They told him he couldn't eat. And that breakfast was at 8. We went down at 8 and had to wait to be buzzed in. They once again told my son he couldn't eat. I informed them that I paid for a room with two beds. And that the 2 of us were going to eat. And if they didn't like it they could call the cops. Breakfast was white bread only. Waffles. Only thing for the toast was grape jelly. No juices had Cheerios and frosted flakes. Coffee. No other choices.

Dirty room which was advertised with handicapped and accessible room but there was nit a functional thing that it was. The so-called hand bar at the toilet was broken and fell off when our handicapped daughter fell and I had to grab her preventing a bad fall. I sprained my back and had back pain from it for a week. I complained to management and they said we could leave but it was late night and no place to stay due to no vacancy because of a hit air balloon event that weekend. This place was so bad and the price was elevated like 3-4 times the usual cost. They tried to fix the handle bar and wired and hammered in a support structure but wasn’t any consolation. We got only 10% discount. We will never stay again!!

It's an old, run down facility. The managers are nice enough but they lock the door to the lobby and have to open it for you to come in, and then they lock it again. Is the neighborhood that unsafe? Not much water pressure in the shower, frayed carpets, basically all on the lower end of acceptability. I would not recommend it.

The room and amenities were as you would expect - super basic - no coffee or shampoo in the rooms and twinkies for breakfast, but the AC worked fine and the sheets and towels were clean.

I will advise that carowners secure belongings well because I saw someone walk into the lots from the street late at night and check doors on cars and check for loose change in the dispensing machines, etc.

Good coffee a couple blocks towards downtown that opens at 7 am, but no corner stores, gas stations, or deli options close by.

NOT WORTH THE STAY AT ANY PRICE!

For a female traveling alone, this place was scary! The clerk gave me two options for which room I wanted but said he would not refund my pre-paid reservation if I wanted to go elsewhere. The premises were dirty and old, the room was dirty, the sheets were disgusting - holes, stains - the bathroom sink only dispenses cold water (no warm or hot water to wash my face in the morning.) The bathtub filled up with dirty water when I took my shower, and didn't drain until I turned the water off (I did not take a long shower.) There is NO place to put things in the bathroom unless you balance your stuff around the small sink, or on the toilet - UGH! I took two videos of the things I have described. I do not know how to pull single pics from the videos. The area around the property is insanely noisey all night long with sirens, vehicles, people shouting, etc.. I got almost zero sleep, and got out of Dodge as soon as the sun came up (It didn't feel safe to be loading my car in the dark.) I would NEVER stay at this hotel again, even with a companion!

OK, so considering the area of Albuquerque, this place was actually really nice and exceeded my expectations. My room was clean. Paint was new, and aside from a tile in the shower that needs to be replaced, The beds were great even!. The only thing that was a little annoying was the intersection next to the hotel apparently is a popular spot for people to rev their cars at all hours of the night, but the fan/ air conditioner in the room is capable of blowing all night, which helps provide white noise. The only other thing I would ask them to change is to make breakfast earlier because I did not get to utilize the breakfast services the two days that I was there as I had to do a 3 Hour Drive to Roswell for a funeral Saturday and had to be on an early flight Sunday. otherwise nice people great room well exceeded my expectations for the price.

Worst motel stay in my life!!

This was, by far, the worst motel experience I have ever had. We were delayed by traffic on the 40 and arrived late, on the website it states check in is at ANY TIME (there is no “closing time”) When we arrived there was a sign on the door and the office was locked and dark. I had to bang on the window to wake up the guy at the front desk. He then got angry at me for waking him up and tried to lie about it being past the check in time (website says check in is 24 hrs). He then cussed at me and threatened to cancel my and my children’s reservation. We finally got our key, got to our room and there WERE NO TOWELS IN THE ROOM!! The front office guy would not open the office or answer the phone. I had to call Wyndham’s main customer service line and she then attempted to contact the front desk 4 times before giving up. We had to dry off with tissue paper!! The room smelled musty, was dirty and we saw 2 cockroaches. Wyndham would not transfer our reservation to a near by property so we had no choice but to stay because I had prepaid the room. This motel is only suitable for meth heads apparently. Do yourself a favor and stay anywhere but this horrible motel.
