Quality Inn

Honestly, this is one of the cutest places we have stayed (especially for the price)! The room has recently been renovated in very retro colors with the Route 66 theme! Everything was clean and the staff were very accommodating! I highly recommend this hotel! We will definitely stay here the next time we are in the area! The retro atmosphere was very relaxing, and the location was very convenient being close to I-40.

I booked my reservation by calling the phone number for Hotel Blue 66 directly. When I arrived, I was shocked by the condition of the property. The exterior looked run-down and neglected, and the interior was dirty enough that I did not feel comfortable staying. I left immediately without checking in. When I explained that I would not be staying because of the property’s condition, I was told that I had booked through a third-party website such as Booking.com, even though I believed I had booked directly with the hotel. Despite never staying at the property, my card was charged for the reservation, and I ultimately had to contact my bank to dispute the charge. Rather than risk staying there, I paid an additional $100 to stay at a Holiday Inn instead. While I cannot comment on the rooms beyond my initial impression because I did not stay overnight, my experience with the property’s condition, the way my concerns were handled, and the billing issue was extremely disappointing. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this property.

Right off interstate 40 in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, is the blue 66, a best western hotel on the historic Route 66. This motel has the charm and decor of the days gone by. Check-in was easy and the staff, friendly. Upon entering our room, another step back in time with decor only - the rooms have been renovated with walk-in showers with hot water, not lukewarm like mini hotels. The rooms were clean and the beds gave us one of our best night sleeps on our journey. Breakfast was a full buffet with scrambled eggs, waffles muffins, and nice hot coffee with assorted creamers. Another perk was the value. Great price!!! When our travels take us back to Santa Rosa, we will definitely stay at the blue 66!!!!
