LOVED this property. Almost reminded me of Greece (but with a southwestern flare). Cute rooms and remodeled recently. Check in was quick and easy. Only about 8 parking spots right next to the building, not sure if there are more somewhere else. Shower could be given a little more TLC.Walkability: Less than a 15 min walk to Old Town. Best to go from New York Ave to Rio Grande Blvd.

STOP Coming to El Vado. STOP Coming to El Vado Market. The people who live in the apartments on the same property don't have enough parking. They reserve parking for El Vado Customers but not for the people who live there. It shouldn't take 20 minutes after arriving to finally park your car. People coming home from work shouldn't have to put up with the aggressiveness of people fighting for a place to park.Pay an Uber, take the bus, or stay home

Extremely well renovated and boutique-vibe hotel with historical relevance to Route 66. Very clean and well appointed. Nice pool area and bar. Quiet after 10pm. Will stay again!

Great and fun historic Route 66 hotel. Has been wonderfully renovated while retaining the historic aesthetic. Easy on the pocketbook too. Highly recommend.Rooms: Comfortable, clean and updated to modern standards. No complaints! Wonderful mid century design and artwork by local artists.

This hotel was ok. We stayed for only 1 night, rooms are quaint and small. Furnishings are very mid century modern but Airbnb'esque quality. Bed was comfy, bathroom was exceptionally tiny, we aren't big people and wondered how anyone just a big bigger would have managed. Walkable to the old town and looked to have a nice pool and outdoor courtyard which we didn't use because it was Feb. Rooms need maintenance though, things are looking a bit worn and tired, walls have water damage, soap dispenser was all gross and cracked (just needs to be replaced with another $10 dispenser), etc

Renovated historic motel on Route 66. We only stayed one night, but the room was comfortable and clean. There is an outdoor pool, as well as cafes on the premises with outdoor seating. Lively atmosphere. Short walk to Old Town, and close to other good restaurants and stores.

What a cool concept to take an old motor court motel and turn it into a space with different food vendors, tap room and shops.

Such a great property. Comfortable, kinda funky and cool. Walking distance to old town and great restaurants.Nearby activities: Old town is great to walk around and shop
We stayed here on our drive to Arizona and we were able to get a poolside room. This is a vintage motel so the rooms are smaller than some hotels but had everything we needed and well decorated. We will try to stay here everytime we pass through Albuquerque.Walkability: We walked less than a mile to old town for drinks and dinner

The room next door was so loud and management wouldn't do anything about the party, yelling and loud music. These rooms are NOT soundproof as advertised.

Such a cute place and convenient location for the river lights. The manager was very nice and helpful throughout check in. At first our keys did not work but that happens. Had a good selection of beer at their ale house. Only issue was the heat in the room. It was 52 degrees in the room when we got back around 9 pm and it took us 30 minutes to try to figure out how to get the heat to turn on. That was a bummer but we would stay again.

Cozy, quiet road site motel on Route 66. El Vado Auto Court is a must stay. Seriously super cool concept of how they renovated the property.
