Room was in good shape, great mattress & bedding, big ADA bathroom w helpful handrails, nice refrigerator, great coffee. Staff was wonderful. Plan to pay $12/night for parking + a $10/night hidden fee to avoid paying tourism taxes? Beyond that, a very comfortable stay! Please be more transparent with your charges

While the outer space of the motel is adorable, bright colors, eclectic decor, the room itself left something to be desired. The room had been renovated but poorly. Again, I love the concept of the place but it was not well executed in the room itself. The straw that broke the camels back for me was the shower, the tiles had brown grout lines in places and were completely covered by grout in others. Then, I noticed the long, black hairs all over my shower wall and I was done. I hope the owners are able to put some time and attention to the rooms because they have the start of something that could be great.

Quirky little hotel. Walking distance to some great veggie restaurants. Staff are great and have fantastic recommendations. The speakeasy is adorable. It was a little loud as our room was above the speakeasy (but closes at 11 so not a huge issue). Close to the bus stop and UNM as well.
