The TriStar Inn it's like being in another dimension the second you walk in the vibe you get from Mike the owner immediately treating you like family they have pretty good food besides being the only bar in town when he showed me my room with the Barcalounger in front of the TV it's almost like they were expecting me everything worked fine tv heater plenty of hot water one of the nicest people I've met in my entire life and his wife as well

I had an absolutely amazing stay here. I was on a wing-it road trip being co pilot looking for a place for the night. I try to only stay at places I can contact directly. That proved to be a good rule after I called, was told there'd be room, showed up to a simple and fast process, and saw our super clean room. That all paled in comparison to everyone there. Thanks, Mr. Mike for keeping us!

Good price, good room. Very quiet. Clean. TV worked, and so did the Wifi. Fridge and Microwave.

Mike is very nice. Mailed me my computer after I left it in the hotel room. Room was clean and comfortable.

I booked an overnight stay at the Tristar Inn because - like most people trying to book a room anywhere in New Mexico during the summer - I found it almost impossible to reserve something in a budget-friendly motel. The Tristar Inn is definitely budget friendly, so here's what I found: the room was extremely basic, but also very clean. The shower was huge and had ample hot water. The king-size bed was very comfortable, and the room's temperature was likewise comfortable, although the old-fashioned air-conditioner was loud - it didn't clang or bang or anything - but it was loud. Personally, I didn't mind the sound - it was more like background whitenoise - but if you're extremely sensitive to sound, know you're going to hear it. The television worked just fine, as did the microwave, minifridge, and the coffee maker. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay here. Finally, a quick comment regarding Tucamcari: looking through some of the reviews, I noticed people writing about the obvious poverty in town. Tucamcari is on the old Route 66, and if you're old enough to know what Route 66 is, then you also know it's been in economic decline for decades. With that said, there's a great deal of beauty and character in this little corner of New Mexico, and it's worth checking out.

I'm traveling Route 66 by bicycle and stopped in front of this hotel to check out food and lodging on my phone. Owner of this place came out and said me and my bike needed to go. Real great way to treat a potential customer.
I've been on the road for 42 days and haven't had anyone treat me poorly until this guy. All my gear is in great condition and I'm not even close to looking homeless.
Don't spend your money with someone that probably hates you.

This place gets 5 stars for being exactly what it says and everything I needed for a quick overnight.Its super clean and super quiet,bed is comfortable and Mike is most accommodating.

Awesome little motel. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I have never stayed in a motel as clean and friendly as the Tristar Inn Express!
Rooms: Clean, clean, clean and comfortable! This is not a 5 star luxury motel. The owners take pride and are continually updating, definitely shows!
Food and drinks: They only serve pizza at the cozy little bar. Bar is well stocked and all the locals know Mike, the bartender, front desk clerk, owner. He was very friendly.
Good people, but the rooms were not updated and looked dirty. I full aware of it being an older motel. You can hear the rodents in the walls late night (which I know it’s only so much they can do about that). I can tell that the room wasn’t touched in a long while. Just needs a little touching up.

An old Route 66 hotel with all the charms of days gone by . Nice bar on the property to unwind

Room was clean. Bed firm but not hard, very comfortable. No stupid memory foam that so many places use that cause you to overheat while sleeping. Cotton sheets, dark, quiet, cool room. Made for a good nights sleep. Hot water, lots of pressure. Price is right. Owner is personable, very friendly and eager to please. Fantastic stopping point on our trips to and from Missouri to Phoenix. I think we found our go-to place to sleep at the halfway point of our trip. We certainly don’t need anything fancy, just clean and comfortable. This place hits all the marks. It was a pleasure. Thank you!

Like other reviews have mentioned, yes, it's an older motel. It's also clean and comfortable. The owner is friendly and engaging. Not only did he check us in, he also tended the bar, cooked the pizza, and challenged us to a game of pool before bed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
