Where to Stay in Albuquerque, NM –
The El Vado Motel originally opened in 1937 and was one of Albuquerque’s first motels along the historic route 66. When it first opened, the motel boasted a generous 32-rooms. Today, 10 of those original rooms have been converted into “food pods,” local merchants, and a tap house. The food pods remind me of something similar to food trucks with a permanent residence. The pods offer a variety of food, from chicken dishes, to burgers, to sushi and more! Grab a bite and a pint to eat in your room our at the spacious outdoor seating area.

And a lot of other stuff that is very definitely mine. Stuff most folks might find too goofy.
