We found this hotel when we were unable to stay in Albuquerque, it's a great out of the way place, really retro but super clean, super quiet, the owners were amazing we even came in a bit late after a concert and they turned on the outside lights on until we got into our room. We will definitely stay there again, we will probably even stay there instead of staying in Albuquerque. Can't say enough good things about this place!

I’ve stayed at the Sunset Motel twice now and both times have gone great. It’s dog-friendly, close to multiple places to eat, safer than Albuquerque (my opinion), and it has historic charm. The staff is always friendly and the check in & out process is always fast and easy.

Family owned business showed pride in ownership. Staff were very friendly. Room very clean and loved the “little rubber yellow ducks” you saw in office @ check in and in bathroom sitting on tub. I forgot to ask the significance, but a welcoming sight! Would stay here again!

We loved everything about this place. It brought back many memories of Route 66 TV program right down to the retro furnishings. We were greeted warmly at checkin and even given a wonderful bag of goodie’s. The room was nicely decorated and played out and the extra sink outside the bath was a bonus. It was the most enjoyable stay on our trip and we will try to get back there.

Cute, cute property! There is a small courtyard where we enjoyed breakfast. The rooms were musty but clean. My family booked 3 rooms and it was a great meeting area for us all. We loved the sack "breakfast". We would definitely recommend
