Nettes Hotel un guter Lage aber leider hat der Pool nicht funktioniert.
Das Hotel liegt nahe an Old Town, die Zimmer sind ok. Wir hatten das Hotel wegen dem Pool gebucht aber dieser war nicht in Betrieb - als Entschädigung bekamen wir 20 usd Nachlass.
Dass wir trotz wiederholter Anfrage keine Antwort erhalten haben. Das Zusatzbett war nicht vorbereitet und die Schlafqualität darin nicht gut.

Beautiful hotel in great location, disappointing restaurant facilities and WiFi access.
This beautiful, historic motel in beautiful Adobe-style architecture features a nice outdoor seating area with pool, three associated restaurants (fusion, Asian and Mexican food) and a bar with a good choice of craft beers. There is a large zoo within walking distance, and the view of the Rio Grande from the nearby bridge should not be missed!
It was very disappointing that the Mexican restaurant associated with the El Vado motel already closed at 6:30 p.m. (!!) and the other two half an hour later (!). Plan to find food elsewhere if you arrive after 7 p.m.. The explanation, to us as potential customers, that there "wasn't enough demand to keep them open later" only added insult to injury. No breakfast was offered, either, so we had to settle for an (admittedly nice) bagel from Kaufman's next door. Annoyingly, there was also no WiFi access from one room, but the receptionist commented "some computers just don't connect sometimes". WiFi access from another room was fine. Not good enough!

A very good motel in a great location.
A really great motel with clean and comfortable rooms, a good bar and outdoor area, and very friendly staff. Good location on route 66 and in walking distance from centre of Albuquerque and from the Paseo Del Bosque walking trail.
Parking can be a bit of a walk from the room, and no breakfast option.

Nice enough but overpriced for the overall experience.
Great location. The motel / room was updated and nicely decorated. Comfortable bed.
The room smelled terrible, like strong cleaner or bug spray. The room was cold when we arrived and had to call desk for instructions to get the heat going. The shower head sprayed needle like streams only, no adjusting and no pressure control. The shower valve is also in the furthest position from the shower door, making it hard to turn on without getting sprayed with cold water. The soap and shampoo dispensers were not working. No breakfast available. Small room.

Good location a bit noisy but we were on Route 66
Great Route 66 place with neon sign, near Old Town The maids were friendly & helpful.
There was no one at the desk when we arrived at 11:00 pm, after we had let them know we’d be arriving late. The office was locked & there was no note saying why.

TINY PLACE
The front desk people are very friendly
The room was super tiny, The bathroom was even worse. You practically sat on the toilet paper holder. You have to almost get in the shower to be able to close the bathroom door. Very uncomfortable. We didn't have any housekeeping the time we wore there. We have to ask for fresh linens the first night after coming back from town. The second day we saw housekeeping in the property and assumed we will get service but ones again nothing. The parking lot is a joke. We wore afraid to leave the property because every time we'll come back the parking lot will be full and had to wait for a while to get a spot. I think they share the tiny parking lot with several binesses in the same property. Very desapointed for that kind of price you can stay at much better place and save your self the trouble. I saw the ratings and it looks good but I think some of them are pay reviews.
