Solid Budget Choice

For the price, a great hotel. Certainly no 5-star resort but the room was decently clean, a/c was loud but worked very well, & the overnight stay was quiet & uneventful, although the room did vibrate when the train passes by (quietly though: felt kind of like an earthquake but no noise). The lady at the front desk was also nice & helpful—I accidentally booked the wrong room type but she switched us for no additional charge. I know other reviews mentioned not having fridge or microwave but both were present in our room.

Nice motel

If you are not looking for a 5 star accommodations but just a place to crash for a night, this is a great motel for the money, friendly staff, fast check in, clean bed and hot shower with nice pressure. Mini fridge and microwave in the room. No frills and slightly aged decor. I only needed a room for a night during a roadtrip from CA to OK, and the location is very convenient when driving on I-40, will use again.

Super great place for people traveling on a budget! The night clerk was really nice and made sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The rooms are decent size wise, there’s a shower and toilet, and a bed that’s actually comfortable! (There’s even AC units) 10/10 will stay here again when coming through Gallup!

It's an adequate place if you're looking for a one or two night stay. It's nothing fancy, but considering the affordable price, it serves its purpose well.

We got charged additional $15 for our chihuahua which I’m not sure if it’s Expedia’s fault per front desk. Normally when it says Pet friendly (such as Motel 6 or Super 8), 1 pet is included. The amenities is very basic and old but wverything is functioning and clean at least.

If you go in expecting luxury, you’ll be very disappointed. If, however, you need a place to sleep/rest with the basic amenities of shower, TV, fridge, and microwave, you’ll love this place for the price. I stayed one night during a trip across the country and it served me well as far providing a place to rest, shower (which I hadn’t done so far during the trip due primarily to sleeping in campgrounds), and watch Sunday Night Football (which I was actually looking forward to).

Not the best

The room was fairly comfortable, but floors and furniture were very dusty. There were not extra towels. We only had three towels for five people. It was clearly an old property but not badly maintained except for cleanliness.

Old, Worn Down, but Perfect for me.

Okay I needed a cheap place in Gallup and I have stayed in a few. This one was by far the best. It was old, run-down, faded, old equipment in the bathroom....But it was perfect. It was very clean! It was very good sized for a single, and the people were top-notch. I will return. So if you do not need to impress anyone, this is a great call.

Grateful for a Great spot!

When I arrived, the Lady accommodated my request to check in an hour early for just $5-more. She was kind and gave me a clean quiet room. The room was spacious and very clean. Comfortable. The door locks could use replacement, but that's the ONLY thing I had a small issue with. The bed was comfortable and the TV worked fine This motel is a GOOD VALUE for the price and is close by shopping and a few restaurants. Even to go to fancier restaurants, was a mere 8 minute drive over the tracks and under a bridge. I WILL return here on my way to and from New Mexico. Ty.💯

It was a bad check in at first. Couldn’t locate my reservation. Beds were uncomfortable and I have now have bed bug bites everywhere on me. Loud noises from people up stairs and couldn’t fall asleep from it as well as weird creepy noises coming from the bathroom Had no towels.

I travel regularly to the Navajo Nation to work on solar projects for the Navajo Nation and specifically Navajo Veterans. I usually stay at Red Roof Inn. Since I travel on my own expenses I looked for a less expensive housing opportunity. That is why I chose your facility for my last visit. The receptionist was gruff and unpleasant. The room was almost out of toilet paper. The bed sheets were dirty and stained. The towels were stained and appeared as they were purchased through Goodwill (where I do shop) after they had been through Goodwill multiple times. While I seek to reduce my costs as I visit the Navajo Nation to establish ways to provide solar energy to homes and Hogans (especially to Veterans) I will not use your Inn again. Phil

Fridge was nonfunctional & he didn't switch it out for another. I needed the freezer to refreeze the ice bags for my cooler. Was carrying a special lamb roast across the country.The motel had only 3 other rooms occupied, there had to be 30 other fridges there! Heater was EXTREMELY loud & wouldn't obey the thermostat. I woke up when it was nearly 100 degrees in my room. When I booked, he assured me the internet was excellent. It was important because my phone won't work in the US. Signal was very weak & dropped constantly. Someone screwed with the TV options & enlarged the picture so much you couldn't see most of the show. It was enlarged so much you couldn't see the menu options to adjust it back to normal. No fitted sheets, bottom sheet was too small to tuck in. Broken sink, furniture, raggy everything. It was clean though.

Seemed safe. Needs an updating of rooms but if you're just needing a place to stay for the night it's great. If on a hot day I don't know if the AC will be able to keep up they do have a fan on the table that does help. At least they have a little mini fridge. I'd still go back. It was worth the price.
