We love staying at this gem of a motel
We love staying here. Debbie and her husband are so friendly, kind and helpful. My little dog is always welcome with a nice grass area. They even provide a blanket for her to lay on to keep their bedding free of fur. The take and go breakfast is so good. The best danish, muffin and tangerines.
This is my third stay this year and will continue staying at the Sunset Motel in the future.

From the outside it looks like a route 66 motel from the 60s. I was in room 2. It's updated with everything you expect in a hotel today. I appreciated the Keurig with Starbucks and the breakfast bag. The room was clean and comfortable.

Road Warrior Route 66
We travel between Abilene, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona frequently. We find motels on the Historic Route 66 to stay at if we need a motel. This motel is top notch.

Bliss on "66"
I love this place! I have stayed numerous times and when possible adjust my schedule to make this a stop. It's so "Route 66" in feel and decor. The folks who run it are very nice and accommodating. Take away breakfast is always yummy. If you're traveling this way, make this your favorite stop!

The Only Route 66 Original in New Mexico!
This was one of the most delightful stays we have had. The place was immaculate! The family who runs it - still - has done an amazing job!
The fridge was a great size. Local food is great! (Chilli Hills - popular with the locals for good reason!)
The room was flawlessly clean. Even extra blankets already staged!
The updated climate control unit really good the job at keeping us warm, or cool, or of taking the humidity out of the room after we showered in the VERY hot shower!
Came onto town for the Balloon Fiesta and got engaged while we were there. And you know what? It was the perfect motel for us to stay in at the end of the day.
Plenty of curious points of interest nearby!
Thank you, so very much, to the staff and to Mike and Debbie for preserving this amazing pocket of Route 66 History!

Great place to stay!
Really enjoyed the stay! Continental breakfast was a couple of pastries. Buildings are older but very well maintained, and the staff was super friendly and helpful.

Owner was a nice lady. Gave us a little gift bag with breakfast which was awesome. Also gave us a paper on information for the balloon fiesta we were going to that was really helpful. My kids loved the little rubber ducky in the bathroom

We do a trip to Arkansas from Nevada one to two times a year. This is our favorite place to stop. The owners are always amazing out first leg is about 19 hours which means we don’t always make it before their office closes. But they always work with us to ensure we can access our room.

Perfect vintage Rt 66 motel.
Truely authentic vintage motel. Well kept, very clean, loved the breakfast swag bag, and being greeted by the cat. Owners are so very nice. Knowing I had a cat with me, and the room I was assigned to had a dog next door, the moved me to another room at check in. They obviously run this motel for the guest experience, not just for financial gain.

My wife ran out of hot water and she didn’t even need to use any cold water to cool it down in the beginning. Naturally I didn’t take a shower.

Our Favorite Place to Stay in the Whole World
The Sunset Motel is our favorite place to stay in the whole world and we have travelled to a lot of phenomenal places. It just never disappoints. I love the goodnight kisses and the rubber ducky. The grounds are artsy. I love the mid-century vibe and the Route 66 component. A lot of love goes into maintaining this special motel.
