When I asked about a place to watch sunset he enthusiastically grabbed a map and explained how to get to the Sandstone Bluffs, which was absolutely perfect and just what I wanted. The room had a microwave and mini-fridge, and the towels felt new and surprisingly fluffy for an inexpensive motel. The signage is very retro-Route 66, which I love. The place needs a little work, but it looked like renovations were in progress; they were working on the front office while I was there. (That's always a good sign to me, when I see an investment being made in a property) This *is* an old school motel, but as long as your expectations are reasonable you'll be satisfied.

The room didn't smell or seem funky, and was clearly cleaner than those in some of the big boy chain motels off Interstate 40. Plush new towels, expertly folded. The Princess Queen was throughly satisfied with the accommodations. She gives it a four-paws-up, which, due to unregrettable anatomical limitations, equates to 4 Stars. Were she a male, she might have been able to give the South West Motel a 5-Star review, but that's another journey.

The hotel was very careful on Hotels.com to make it look like the rooms were not on the outside of the hotel, I absolutely would have chosen somewhere else had I known the doors to the rooms were not inside the hotel. I feel like this was intentional so they automatically lose a star for that. I genuinely only stayed here because I didn't want to stay in Albuquerque, thinking it would be safer outside of there. We checked in late, like 9:15pm or so. The lady at the front desk was so friendly and sweet that she deserves 5 stars. The lobby area was clean, and so was the outside of the hotel. The room was fine, it was basic but clean. The bedding was clean and so were the walls. The ac did not work very well, so that kind of sucked but I can deal with it since we weren't staying a significant amount of time here and it wasn't insanely hot. The problem lies in the area of the hotel and the clientele that stays here. In the parking lot there's people just sitting on parking blocks smoking and staring, lots of people walking the halls so all you see is shadows of people walking past your window which is a little unsettling when you have 2 kids with you. Definitely wouldn't recommend staying here unless you're cool with sketchy people going past your room all evening.

The facility is very clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was everything you could hope for on a road trip. Beds are comfy with lots of pillows. Sheets were nice and soft. The shower had great water pressure. The TV worked perfectly and had lots of options and it's got a couple of dining options nearby as well as a giant Walmart. The wife and I took advantage of the pool and Jacuzzi and it was super relaxing! Nice and warm and helped us settle in for some needed rest. I would stay here again and I would recommend it for you as well.

Was going to drive straight through, but got the call in Flagstaff she was gone. We were tired, grief stricken and frustrated so we decided there was no sense in driving straight through so called ahead to Days Inn in Grants and secured two rooms with credit card. I told the girl we would be very late checking in and she said no problem. We arrived at 1:30 am and believe it or not, the last two room had already been rented. She had no explanation and at that point there was no fight left in us. We trudged back to the van and left but not before I let her know her mistake was inexcusable and Days Inn was officially off our list of places to stay. No stars for Days Inn.

If you're passing through on a budget and aren't prissy, this place is a good stop to rest your head and fuel up. If you're put off by old hotels, slightly dated decor, and good hospitality, then I suggest you spend twice the amount for the holiday Inn down the street. .

After booking it on…read morePriceline, and feeling like I got a good deal, I almost canceled my reservation just because of reviews. I'm glad I didn't--but if you pay more than $50 a night for these rooms, you will be disappointed. Pros: The front desk was very accommodating in helping me get adjoining rooms since we are traveling with young children. The rooms are spacious, clean. Each room comes equipped with a rather large refrigerator, and a microwave. I thought it was funny that the TV appears to be about 30 years old :-) Cons: when a hotel says "free breakfast" you assume it's for everyone in your room. Not so at this hotel. Each room comes with two vouchers. So if you are traveling with four people per room, two of you are out of luck. The hotel is in dire need of updating. The curtains and sheer curtains are torn and dusty. The bathroom tubs are three notches above awful. Pool and Jacuzzi are out of service. Air-conditioning in one of our rooms did not work. That being said, we were not unhappy with the room because we got such a good price. When you were just traveling through, it's not that big of a deal. This is not a place I would stay for a week. Overnight, it's no big deal.
