Just looking for a room after a long drive. Tried the Hampton Inn on the other side of the tracks first, but they were completely sold out. The price at the Super 8 was $50, the Hampton Inn was $139......
This place definitely had some problems. The short, black, hair on the sheet under one of the pillows was the first thing. The security chain was broken on the door, the nightstand had 4 holes drilled through the top of it, and the alarm clock only displayed garbled characters.

All of these problems paled in comparison to the spur line of the railroad that apparently runs through the lobby. The first train passed a 10:00pm. I know this because the engineer cheerfully blew the TRAIN HORN several times as he passed by. His friend passed by going the other way at 10:45pm. I think he knew someone in room 240 because he blew his HORN 3 or 4 times when his train went by. And so it went, All... Night.... Long......

If you are looking to spend a restful night after a long day's travel, this is probably not your best choice.

We got the room for $50 (regularly $70) but even at $50 it wasn't worth it. It was dirty and in a really bad part of town on Route 66. If I had known, I could have driven a mile down the road and got a really nice motel for the same price near the interstate.

There is a train track across the street and the trains came through all night with the horns blowing, otherwise the rooms were alright

Drove 13 hrs from Wichita,Ks to Gallup. Needed a room bad. Just wanted to take a shower and get some rest. Well the tub had a 2 inch hole in the bottom side of it and an attempted patch with silicone was a joke.Hmmm,have always wondered who got my dirty water? The key slide security lock on the exterior door had been removed a long time ago! Towels were disgusting,The halls were filled with smoke even though I had requested a SMOKE FREE room it filtered in everywhere. The comp breakfast was a joke.
Speaking of jokes, the super 8 corp.sent me an email about 10 days later inquiring how I had enjoyed my stay at Gallup. Well, I stated the same to them as above. Never heard from them again. Now we all know the old addage"TRUTH ALWAYS HURTS" I guess Super 8 can not stand the heat because Super 8 has become known nation wide as a sub standard level of accomadations because of their inability to listen to the customer. I suggested to the corp. that they visit a Holiday Inn Express anywhere and compare levels
of accomadations. Like I said ---never heard a word back. If Gallup is not to your liking try
Super 8 Estes Park Colo. it is a "LULU" also. Have only driven by that one.
