We were passing through the area during the week of the Balloon Fiesta. Having never been to NM or the Fiesta, Mike offered great advice for taking in the mass accention. And several local places for food and drinks. Also I left my camera battery and charger in the room. Before I had a chance to contact them, they had already sent me a text message. Very helpful.

Great hotel, bad WiFi. No Ipv4 so dns errors on half the websites you try to go to and or apps wont work hopefully they fix it. I'm an IT administrator at a credit union and both our phones and my laptop had the same issues. It wasn't our devices.

This place is the epitome of Route 66 nostalgia. I love it here. It’s like stepping back in time. Everything is super fresh and clean and the folks that run it are really nice. I travel through here several times a year and I’m so glad I discovered the Sunset Motel. I won’t stay anywhere else.

I love this place. Such a cool retro old motel that is family owned. The rooms are clean and look just like the 50’s/60’s.
