Absolutely excellent staff, knowledgeable about area. Great parking for handicapped accessible rooms. Beds seem too high & person in wheelchair would not be able to adjust climate controls. It would be great to have small light in bathroom without fan going. Room very clean, comfortable. The TV remote is not very useful. No station guide provided, or instructions how to use remote. Hangers too high for wheelchair bound. But room was great, accessible and if needed had connecting room for nurse attendant. Very pet friendly.

I've stayed here twice on cross-country trips with my Kitty. The staff is super-sweet and the rooms are nice and clean. I usually have a packed car and this location feels chill and safe, located away from the main drag of Gallup. It's great to not have to drag everything in after a long day of driving. It doesn't give a creepy vibe like some Motel 6 locations who have a ton of people living there. The room smelled slightly of Bleach but that's because it was actually CLEAN and at least it wasn't the gross, perfumey rank reek of Fabuloso or something like that. They also have a Laundry Room, which can be a real lifesaver on the road. I totally recommend this spot and will gladly stop over again in the future. Added bonus, there's a super yummy Indian Restaurant a mile or so away at the Truck Stop. I've eaten there twice with no repercussions.

Nice and affordable place, great service. Reserved for 4 nights but had to leave after 1 due to unrelated to Motel reasons, manager was accomodating and gracious. I would stay here next time I am in town.

Comfortable bed, good pillows, a/c worked great the parking lot was very clean. We like staying at Motel 6 because there's never a charge for our pets and that is highly appreciated. Our floor in the room did feel sandy so we had to wipe out feet off before getting into bed. Thank you

I stayed here twice heading to and from a long road trip. Rooms were clean, staff was nice and had no issues with my vehicle. I was worried as I have a cargo bag atop and a rear cargo carrier. No issues. Price is great and I stay at Motel 6 because they allow pets.
