Debbie and Mike were exceptionally welcoming. My 2 teen daughters and I arrived around 8:30pm and checked-in. We were hungry, so Mike suggested not going to room and heading to Chili Hills restaurant (closes at 9pm). Mike called ahead and the great people at Chili Hills fed us a delicious meal. When we returned from dinner my daughters and I went back in to lobby to meet Libby (sic) the "guard" cat. My daughters loved Libby and the 5 of us talked about the Route 66 trip we were on, the history of the motel, etc. It was such a memorable addition to our CHI to LA road trip. They also provided breakfast bags with delicious pastries and fruit. The room was immaculate and and the grounds were so inviting for an evening hangout. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again, if it ever comes up.

We loved the vibe of this hotel. It was like stepping back in time. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Check-in was a breeze and the owner was very friendly. It was such a nice surprise to receive a bag of pastries for the next morning's breakfast - they were delicious. Parking was very easy, which is great when you have a 26 foot truck. I noticed they had installed new Tesla chargers as well. The experience at Sunset Motel made this one of our favorite stops on our road trip. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Very retro motel right down to the wood paneling and avocado-colored carpet in our unit. Family owned business and their pride in the product shows. We are used to seeing signs of deferred maintenance, but this place was shipshape except for a rusting chrome drain ring in one of the 2 bathroom sinks, and some fraying of the weatherseal on the outside door bottom. Breakfast in a bag with great pastries and fruit. Coffee maker in the room. We have some pet dander allergies, so asked for a room that might be short on dander. We weren't sneezing any more than normal the next day, so I think that worked even though they advertise "pet friendly."

The room was nice size, very clean and for the most part, comfortable. We enjoyed the morning to go bag with pastries and fruit.

The biggest downer was the noise from the outside, such as truck traffic, etc. It was as if the vehicles were driving right next to our room so some type of noise reducing materials would be helpful. The other problem was the door did not shut tight with the door knob but this was mitigated by the fact that it had two dead bolt type locks!

Sunset Motel was the perfect place to stay for our trip to Albuquerque for the balloon fiesta. It felt safer and quieter than trying to stay in Albuquerque and fit the Route 66 vibe of out whole trip. The owners were so kind and the whole place felt very retro and down to earth. The owner checked us in and gave us great recommendations for things to do nearby and tips for travel.

The rooms were very simple but they were clean and had everything we needed. We rented the two room, 4 bed suite which was perfect for our large family but it only has one bathroom. We still enjoyed our time there and practiced our patience!

I loved everything about this place! I have always wanted to stay at a Route 66 motel, and I'm so glad we stayed at this one. The owner was very friendly and provided information about restaurants in the area. The motel is well maintained and very comfortable. The attention to detail is impressive. There are "goodnight" Hershey kisses in the room. The room has wifi and 130 TV channels. You are given a continental breakfast bag containing fruit and pastries. I highly recommend this motel!

The entire motel and staff....THE BEST. Very charming with a splash of 50's retro. Location, very easy to get in and out from I-40. I plan on making a trip in Spring to AZ. I will most definitely be making a reservation for a night's stay at the wonderful Sunset Motel. The beds, super comfortable. Very clean. Outdoors, well kept. It's a lovely lil gem off I-40🥰

Nothing negative to say. It's charming and well kept. A must for all travelers!

We really liked the look of the place! They also made it super easy to set up late check-in and that all went smoothly. We were pleasantly surprised by the little treats left for us as well. It was nice to have a little fridge with a freezer section so I could keep my pumped milk frozen.

It would have been nice to have curtains out blinds that blocked out more light

It was amazing. The staff were so kind and friendly. The home baked breakfast treats were outstanding. The historical charm of the unit (and the hotel overall!!) was wonderful. It is very well kept up, super clean, safe and brings back nostalgic memories for anyone staying there. Great 'diamond in the rough' and a real unexpected pleasure.

The a/c unit didn't cool the entire room, and the beds were a bit dated, but overall, it was great!
