This is an adorable, wonderfully retro-themed motel. You can tell it was renovated with thought and whimsy. Very, very comfortable and sparkling clean. You can tell that the cleaning staff truly cares about the property and their guests. Wonderful place to stay in Albuquerque. Close to university and hospital. Highly recommend.

The Imperial was a great choice for our overnight stay in Albuquerque. The room was pleasantly decorated with thoughtful touches including a cool mini fridge -a nice change from chain motels. The staff was really nice and quick to supply extra towels. Comfy bed. Only problem was tight parking.

Neat little retro motel. Staff was great. Dining options were great at the diner on property. For fans of breaking bad the crossroads motel is just a block away. Safe and clean

Retro motel

This was a clean motel with a really neat retro vibe. It felt a lot like the 50’s with the decor theme but everything was fresh and clean. Very impressed and I would stay here again when visiting Albuquerque.
Gregory, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was a nicely renovated property, upscale but a throwback to the classic Route 66 feel. It was nearby downtown ABQ enough that I could walk there so it was a perfect stop along the main drag.

Remodeled Motel In A Great Location

We were impressed with the remodel done on this property. It is in a great location and has laundry. We will definitely stay here again when in Albuquerque!
Gene, 1-night trip

Nice staff and Clean, safety place!
Yongjin, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

One of my favorite stays. We stumbled upon this place on Expedia and initially I was hesitant due to the motel connotation, but the pictures of the property were very well done. And I was immediately impressed that it was even better in real life! Our room was clean, organized, and had real live plants inside! I have a couple more trips that bring me through ABQ this year and I know where I will be staying.
