Awesome Motor Inn in ABQ
I was my second time staying here. I love to Retro style, lattes in the office and restaurants on site. Was bummed to find out the restaurants are not open on Sunday nights. I guess I'll need to come back again so I can check them out.

Wonderful boutique hotel! Remodeled and modern with a flashback to the 50’s twist. Comfortable foam mattress, nice bathroom, well use of space, large flat screen TV with DirectTV. Great location, free WiFi and parking, with restaurants, gym, and laundry on property. We’ll be back!!!
