Room was nice.

We enjoyed the property. The staff was amazing. It was a little pricy compared to other places we stayed on the trip.

Loco por El Vado

10.0

El Vado has it all. Didn't leave the premises one night with bar and taproom in the lobby, live music happening under the open air pavilion, great food options right on site, of course the pool and right on Route 66. You should stay here.

Fun place to stay!

10.0

Love this motel! It is in a safe area of Albuquerque on Route 66. The rooms have been modernized. The architect did a great job. The old parking spots near the cabins have been renovated into suites. The office is also a brew pub. There are restaurants in walking distance. They have splash pad and a pool. This is a wonderful property.
