It is an older motel. Everything was ok except the counter top space throughout. No bedside nightstands, I had pull over a chair to place my phone, flashlight, drink and food. There is very little desktop space too. In addition, very little counter space around the sink to place my travel bathroom pouch. It was very uncomfortable.

Catch a Sunrise at Sunset
Very nice lady at the front desk. She fixed my online booking mistake at no extra charge for a room change and had nothing less than a good positive attitude. Also, Had so many cute lil touches like chocolate kisses on the bedside table with a good night kiss note. The best breakfast bag for the morning and nice clean Keurig with Starbucks K cups. This place is so clean and comfortable!! I'll definitely stay again if ever in the area!

We love staying at this gem of a motel
We love staying here. Debbie and her husband are so friendly, kind and helpful. My little dog is always welcome with a nice grass area. They even provide a blanket for her to lay on to keep their bedding free of fur. The take and go breakfast is so good. The best danish, muffin and tangerines.
This is my third stay this year and will continue staying at the Sunset Motel in the future.

From the outside it looks like a route 66 motel from the 60s. I was in room 2. It's updated with everything you expect in a hotel today. I appreciated the Keurig with Starbucks and the breakfast bag. The room was clean and comfortable.

We travel between Abilene, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona frequently. We find motels on the Historic Route 66 to stay at if we need a motel. This motel is top notch.

The check-in person was very sweet. The doggie area was squeaky clean, and the room was good.
The beds are a bit over-firm.
The property is well kept and pleasant. It felt very safe and we will stay there again.
The check in person gave us a goodie bag with fruit and other excellent goodies. Very worth the cost. Thank you!

Bliss on "66"
I love this place! I have stayed numerous times and when possible adjust my schedule to make this a stop. It's so "Route 66" in feel and decor. The folks who run it are very nice and accommodating. Take away breakfast is always yummy. If you're traveling this way, make this your favorite stop!

The Only Route 66 Original in New Mexico!
This was one of the most delightful stays we have had. The place was immaculate! The family who runs it - still - has done an amazing job!
The fridge was a great size. Local food is great! (Chilli Hills - popular with the locals for good reason!)
The room was flawlessly clean. Even extra blankets already staged!
The updated climate control unit really good the job at keeping us warm, or cool, or of taking the humidity out of the room after we showered in the VERY hot shower!
Came onto town for the Balloon Fiesta and got engaged while we were there. And you know what? It was the perfect motel for us to stay in at the end of the day.
Plenty of curious points of interest nearby!
Thank you, so very much, to the staff and to Mike and Debbie for preserving this amazing pocket of Route 66 History!

We do a trip to Arkansas from Nevada one to two times a year. This is our favorite place to stop. The owners are always amazing out first leg is about 19 hours which means we don’t always make it before their office closes. But they always work with us to ensure we can access our room.
