10/10 Excellent

Best Place so far out of 8 places I have been.
Joe, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely old town experience, clean well kept property with lots of charm. We even extended our stay.
Jeanine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This motel is very unique, comfortable, clean, and inviting. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. We loved the bagel & coffee shop next door! The only drawback is that traffic can be a bit noisey in the later hours on the weekend but we were still able to get a goodnight’s rest. I would definitely consider staying here again!
Silvia, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Ana at the front desk was absolutely amazing
Thelma, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A modernized, historic property with cool design work, nice rooms, great grounds and a brewery on site. Highly recommended.
Eric, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Cute renovated motel within walking distance from Old Town, although I probably wouldn't walk it after dark. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Really enjoyed the courtyard and sitting area and the live band was an added bonus. Only stayed one night as we were passing through, but would have loved to have stayed another night and would definitely visit again.
Christie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great, renovated historic property. About the only issue is that due to how the property has been renovated, you might not be able to park right next to the motel. Loved some of the restaurants on property.
Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I really liked El Vado’s contemporary design. We stayed in the Delahaye (sic) suite which was the perfect size for my family of 4. I also loved the location which is closed to Old Town, Sawmill Market and the NM Museum of Natural History I will definitely stay again the next time I’m in ABQ!
Meiling, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved it. Modern comfy rooms in a 50s vibe
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was great but the property was not easy to park when full. Liked that you have choices for evening dining. Unfortunately the pool was closed for cleaning. The hotel was pretty. Wr would stay again.
Charity, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room we stayed in was perfect. So cute. Just enough room. It was very clean and the bed was wonderful. There was live music and the on site restaurants and shops were very convenient. And, it is literally across the street from the aquarium and botanical gardens. It is a very good location for a “stay” cation.
Emma, 2-night trip

Henry, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Jesica at the front desk, checked us in and made us feel right at home. If not management, she should be, she was that good. The property had a Taproom next to check-in and a pool and lounge area just outside. We enjoyed our stay here.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in the Desoto suite and it had the most comfortable bed. Best nights sleep we’ve had 11 nights into our road trip on Route 66.
Erin, 1-night trip

Very unique motel with nice courtyard area. Spacious room. Would stay here again!

The place to stay in Albuquerque

Beautifully decorated and comfortable bed; the staff was super friendly. There was a delightful sense of the history of the area situated as it is on Route 66. Local eateries were convenient to the site as was the Albuquerque Biological Park.
Barbara, 2-night trip

Christine, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property is very nice and cute, lots of things to do around the area. That being said, the main reason why we chose this place was because of the pool. Came to find out the pool is going to be under maintenance for a week, no notice about the conditions of our stay. The hotel sent us to its sister property which is very close but still had to move out of the hotel to enjoy pool time. I think for the cost guests should be noticed in advance what amenities are available, specially in summertime.
