“Roadrunner Lodge Motel is about so much more than just a place to stay,” said David Brenner, current owner and visionary behind the motel’s transformation. “I’ve enjoyed renovating and running Roadrunner Lodge Motel for the last 10 plus years and meeting new friends from around the country and around the world. I am pleased to offer the opportunity for someone new to bring their ideas, creative energy, and resources to the property and more importantly, to Tucumcari. I will always remember this chapter in my life with love and joy in my heart.”
