Sunset Motel Moriarty - A historic Route 66 motel with family heritage, film appearances, and convenient access to regional attractions

Located along the iconic Route 66, Sunset Motel Moriarty stands as the only remaining original Route 66 motel in New Mexico still owned by the original family since 1958. This 3-star Moriarty hotel features rooms equipped with premium bedding, air conditioning, free WiFi, seating areas, and work desks, with some rooms offering garden views and private patios. The property provides practical amenities including a terrace, garden, picnic area, and barbecue grills for guest use. Sunset Motel has served as a filming location for notable productions including the Academy Award-nominated film "Hell or High Water" (2016) and Sundance Film Festival selection "The Dry Land" (2010). Located just 2624.7 ft from the Lewis Antique Toy and Auto Museum and the Southwest Soaring Museum, the motel sits at Exit 197, the starting point of 57 drivable miles of America's Mother Road. Positioned 40.5 miles from Albuquerque International Sunport, the motel's proximity to both Albuquerque and Santa Fe creates an effective base for regional exploration.

Pros

The motel has been family-owned and operated by the Pogue family since 1959, maintaining authentic Route 66 heritage

Continental breakfast is served every morning

Five full-service restaurants, Sierra Blanca Brewing Company, and Blackie's Bar and Grill are minutes away

Multiple local attractions are nearby, including McCall's Pumpkin Patch, Wildlife West Nature Park, and Old Windmill Dairy

Safety features include carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and first aid kits

Cons

Located 40.5 miles from the nearest major airport (Albuquerque International Sunport)

No on-site restaurant, though nearby dining options and delivery services are available

“This roadside motel evokes a nostalgic charm rooted in its Route 66 history. Originally opened in 1958 and family-operated since, the hotel's vintage aesthetic creates a distinctive, if not cutting-edge, experience. Guests can appreciate the convenience to local attractions and community events, alongside essential amenities for a comfortable stay.”
