A really nice Route 66 experience. The staff was super helpful and friendly. They really cared about maximizing my guest experience. If I am traveling through Grants, New Mexico again, I will be staying there. I highly recommend the Southwest Motel. A really good value.

The man on staff upon arrival was kind, friendly, and made sure we got settled in! He had tons of local food recommendations, and a few very cute cats in the office. A truly pet-friendly motel- and exceptionally clean to boot! We'll definitely be staying here in the future.

Looks are deceiving. Very shady looking on the outside but for an old original Route 66 motel, it’s super clean and cute. Pets re free so that was a plus. Staff was super nice and friendly and had a lot of good food options nearby. Bathroom could be updated but really enjoyed the night there.

Very comfortable and clean room. Blankets and bed treatments were great for keeping warm in winter weather in addition the heater works great as well. Shower was nice and hot like I like it. Front desk gentleman was helpful and kind. He messaged me and communicated with me even though I arrived late. Get there before 12am to receive keys in hand.

The gentleman in the office upon my check-in was very kind and helpful! The room was so cozy with great amenities (microwave, fridge and freezer, coffee maker with real coffee - although I didn’t make any, it was appreciated), and a surprisingly spacious bathroom. The bed was super comfortable too! Vintage charm.
