Historic Route 66 Motel: A Little Gem, Great Taste of Old Route 66

Looking for a relatively inexpensive spot to spend the night when I couldn't make it back home to Albuquerque, I came upon this little gem of a place. Even pulling in at 10 pm, it was soon obvious that the owners took pride in keeping up this older property on old Route 66. Super clean and the bed was very comfortable. It has been recently renovated but keeps much of the old charm. Guest directory had info on the town and area, mentioning the city park next door and a couple of non-chain restaurants within walking distance. Continental breakfast was basic (more may have been available earlier but I slept late), but the OJ was the real stuff. Be sure to get the "key" to sign onto the free internet on a secure network. Drive an extra mile from the freeway, save some noise and a bundle of money, and experience a slice of Americana.
