Bad element in the parking lot
I really like this hotel and stay here frequently (once or twice a month) when traveling for work. On my most recent stay, I was harrassed by a man in the parking lot. He was irrationally screaming at me. I don't think he was staying at the hotel and seemed to be having an issue with being turned away. He and his friends hanging in the parking lot and near the door to the check-in area made me very uncomfortable. Also, the floor needs to be vacuumed more thoroughly.

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.
