Tucumcari Hotels with Gym

We stayed at the Fairfield Inn in Tucumcari, NM on our vacation last week. After reading the reviews and hearing about how new this hotel was, we were really looking forward to our stay. I must say we were not impressed. At all. It was in sort an isolated location, with limited dinner choices nearby. The parking lot was not very large....we literally had to check on our vehicle every hour or so just to make sure some large truck or construction vehicle did not park inches away from it. The air conditioning in the room had a motion detector, so when you get in your room it is very warm. And when you leave and come back, guess what? It will be warm again. The bed was lumpy, and not comfortable at all. And forget about any water pressure in the shower.......... I guess those items ultimately could have been forgivable, but the service in the morning was terrible. Their website advertises a ”free continental and grab-n-go hot breakfast”. Our travel schedule precluded us from waiting around in the morning until 6:30 am until breakfast began, so we asked the desk clerk at check-out if there was any way we could just get a couple of muffins, yogurts, bagels, etc... to go since we had to leave early. With a snotty attitude, she just told us ”we don't do that here”. So for almost $150 a night we got no breakfast. If that is really true that the hotel's policy is to not offer grab-n-go for breakfast, they should: 1) Keep in mind that Tucumcari, New Mexico is NOT a destination city, it is a travel stop on the way to somewhere else and there are many people who cannot wait around until 6:30 or 7:00 am to get the breakfast they paid for, and 2) Take the ”grab-n-go” advertisement off of their website. I would not recommend this Fairfield Inn to anyone, unfortunately.

Pros: Nice towels, Great free breakfast, Friendly helpful staff and Nice (hot) shower pressure. Cons: 1st this is a MOTEL not a hotel 2nd: my room was in the back and was facing the highway. I had to put in my head phones and play calming music to drown out the noise 3rd the floors were 1990s ceramic tile, the beds were way too firm, the bed coverings thin and uncomfortable, and the sink area was outside of the enclosed shower and toilet. You get the idea. This was an outdated motel from the 80s or 90s. Maybe even older. I won’t be staying here again.

Right off the freeway and away from the main drag makes this motel a good stay for passing through to avoid summer tourism. It appears to have good amenities, but they were closed during our stay due to the virus. Comfortable beds, could use a deep clean.

Nestled off exit 332 on historic Route 66 - now known as I-40 - La Quinta by Wyndham Tucumcari offers all the Southwest charm you could hope for. Whether you re traveling for business or leisure our pet-friendly hotel puts you close to plenty of Route 66 history. Visit the New Mexico Route 66 Museum for antiques and more or stop at the Mesalands Dinosaur Museum and Natural Sciences Laboratory for a look at dinosaur fossils. After exploring settle in with free WiFi an indoor pool and a daily buffet breakfast.

The room is spacious, clean and bright, with consistent style. The front desk service is capable and prompt. Plenty of parking spaces,
