My husband and I have stayed at the El Vado Motel a number of times over the past 4 years. We love the retro feel of the motel, location and the rooms are very comfortable. It’s nice to have the taproom, shops and restaurants on site. This time though was slightly disappointing.The front desk staff was not nearly as welcoming. Our room had definite signs of wear and tear; dirty walls, paint chipped, broken headboard and stained towels. Not a huge deal overall but worth mentioning. We will most likely stay here again and recommend it if you are visiting Albuquerque.

Great stop along Historic Route 66 and close to ABQ BioPark and Old Town. Property was well-maintained and updated. WiFi was a consistent problem, but we learned upon checkout that a hot air balloon (from the International Balloon Fiesta) had apparently hit a WiFi tower. Only other complaint was that there was no shower curtain on the zero-barrier access to the shower (ADA room), leaving water to go everywhere. We did enjoy a beer at the bar one evening but didn't take full advantage of the restaurant, patio, or pool (chilly evenings). Overall great stay and would recommend it.

Beautiful little motel within walking distance of Old Town Albuquerque. Nicely remodeled. Suite was very comfortable & surprisingly quiet even though the motel is on a main road. Fun to stay in a place with some history, a refurbished Route 66 motel.

Beautifully renovated, spotlessly clean, retro style hotel. The El Vado is a few blocks from Old Town Albuquerque. It has a lovely pool area that the rooms look onto, but the pool perhaps needs to be cleaned more regularly. The patio area was very inviting.

The room was comfortable enough, however the finishes were showing quite a bit of wear. The property was nice overall, retro chic, and the price was good so I think it was a good value for what you got. Unfortunately it seems as though the room could already use a bit of revamping.

Cute hotel! I didn’t sleep… heard the toilet running about every 30 minutes and the air conditioner made a knocking noise once in awhile. Also prefer a comforter/blanket that has a little weight. Loved that it was walking distance to nice shops and old town, and on okd route 66.

Clean facility and comfortable bed. Navigation lead us to the address behind the motel. Took a while to figure out where the office was. Also, the motel parking spots are marked compact, and we have a larger vehicle. Although some big vehicles were parked there. Otherwise, had to share parking lot with commercial property as well as apartments. The room was very small and for two people only had one chair but had room for another. It could have a small fridge and microwave if they didn’t have so many storage cabinets like a 4drawer dresser. Although the facility is reminiscent of a route 66 motel, the theme evidently is more for parties as the common area between the row of cabins is filled with a pavilion, swimming pool, etc. For the price paid, too many other choices in the area With much better accommodations even for an overnight stay for two people. Very disappointed.

The El Vado is a little gem! Everyone is super friendly, and the dining options on-site are excellent! Also, there’s a sweet little patio with misters to keep you cool while you’re eating outside. The standard rooms are a bit small, so I recommend getting a bigger room or suite if you can afford it. Nice place!

My bed was more comfortable than many hotels. Hostess Ana made the stay 10x better than it already was with her amazing service. Rooms are beautiful, great vibe, everything offered at the motel from drinks, food and live entertainment daily. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

This is a great property, conveniently located on route 66. Although on route 66, our room was very quiet. We loved the vibe of this place. There’s a lot happening to participate if you wish to we appreciate the on-site taproom, the choice On site restaurants that delivered To our table, the happy hour for hotel guests that went on all evening, and the pool for guests. Our room looked recently renovated and was quite contemporary. Although Small, the room had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again.

It was windy and there was something loose on the roof that caused a loud banging in our room. Could not find any staff at the desk to help. Finally walked around the back of the room and found a circuit box door was open and banging in the wind. I fixed it but then it started up again. Finally found a staff member that tied it up. 2 hours after hearing the banging.

Amazing restoration on a 1937 property. There is a bar that serves a good selection of beer. There is also some food/coffee outlets on property. Pool was interesting but had a lot of “floaters” in it. Room could use a fridge and microwave. Outdoor furniture could be replaced. Cushions had sun damage

We loved our stay at this completely remodeled, historic motel. If you are someone who tries to avoid the run-of-the-mill basic hotel with average ‘free’ breakfast, then you will enjoy this place. The front desk attendant is nice and helpful and our king suite was quiet and comfortable.
