Arrived at this cute little motel after 18 hours of planes and airports. It was midnight in a downpour. The room was clean and quiet and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The TV did not work, which wasn't really a problem as I instantly fell asleep anyway. The bathroom was clean, but I do wish there was just a regular shower head instead of the awkward hand-held type. Difficult to manage and nearly flooded the bathroom due to the shower stall design. Overall a neat, funky, little place to stay and the staff was nice and helpful. Great to see these classic old motels refurbished and back in business.

Great smaller newly remodeled micro hotel
We were there for the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and this hotel was the perfect location to base out of for the week.Easy in and out access by car to get to Old Town and local restaurants...walking distance to several great breakfast spots. Newly remodeled with a fabulous lobby bar and outside areas. Staff was friendly and fabulous! Smaller hotel so minimal people noise.

Old town
We unexpectedly arrived very late on Sunday evening. I messaged ahead to the hotel to alert them, but did not hear back. When we got to the hotel, there was no parking to speak of. The only spot available was the handicapped spot. I had difficulty getting the office to answer and we ended up driving around a couple times before we realized where it was, check in person was very pleasant but when we tried to get back to the office to let them know, the parking dilemma I couldn’t get any answer was very nice otherwise and the housekeeping staffed an outstanding job. Very nice lounge available as well.

I liked that our parking spot was right outside our door. I did not like the lack of privacy, The window to our room had only a thin curtain and there was a neon red light on all night that shined into the room
