El Vado Motel

Worth. Every. Dime. This place is amazing. My better half and I were talking about this place two days after we checked out. The staff is pleasant, the location is excellent, and what you get for the price-- it's everything. There's a taproom on the premises with excellent drinks. If you come to Albuquerque, there's no other choice. This is it. Get a room.

I stayed at El Vado Motel 9/2-9/3. I was pleasantly surprised that the website pictures looked exactly as the Motel did in person. The front desk staff was probably one of the friendliest hotel staff I have come across. The location is PERFECT, and I love the style and vibe of the whole place. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the room was a let down. The shower was full of body hair, and mold growing in between the tile. There were hairballs near the sink, and what was worse was finding a sex game card next to the dresser. Clearly the room had not been vacuumed or wiped down. Also, the room smelled a bit moldy from the AC leaking right onto the carpet. Id visit again to have drinks and dinner at the outdoor locations.

Neat idea turning the old motel into a food court/shops

Very "Old town" vibe. Lots of places to try food. Staff gave us the Studio 54 treatment!😏 I had the Cuban meal. Highly recommend.😍

Good beer good food and a wonderful patio 😊
