Roadrunner Lodge Motel Policies

Roadrunner Lodge Motel is a smaller property with limited staff and service hours. Check-in is available from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Mountain Time. You can choose a convenient no-touch check-in by phone or a traditional, face-to-face check-in at our lobby. If you’d like the no-touch option, or if you plan to arrive after our lobby closes at 9 p.m., give us a call at 575.282.RT66 during lobby hours. We’ll check you in over the phone and provide easy instructions to access your room. Check-out time is 10 a.m. and often can be extended to 11 a.m. for a $10 convenience fee. We appreciate your understanding if we’re unable to grant early check-in or late check-out requests.

At Roadrunner Lodge Motel, we’re happy to welcome up to three dogs per dog-friendly room, with a combined weight of 180 pounds or less. Our fees are simple: $25 plus tax for one dog, or $35 plus tax for two or three dogs. For everyone’s comfort and safety, dogs may not be left outside, or in vehicles or trailers overnight. We only accept dogs and no other pets at this time.

You and your furry friends can enjoy our fenced, grassy dog run, complete with a double-gated entry for added security. There’s also a convenient waste station so we can all keep the area clean and pleasant. If an undisclosed animal is found on the property overnight, a $250 charge per animal will apply—so please just let us know you’re traveling with Fifi, Bailey, Hunter, Coco, or whoever may be along for the adventure!

Roadrunner Lodge Motel complies with state, local, and federal ADA regulations. Service Animals are exempt from pet fees and are defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act as dogs individually trained to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities. Service Animals must remain under their handler’s control at all times. Please note that animals providing emotional support, well-being, or companionship are not recognized as Service Animals under the ADA.

Finally, misrepresenting an animal as a qualified service animal is a criminal offense in New Mexico (§ 28-11-6 NMSA 1978). Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to hosting both you and your pups!

Smoking or vaping is not permitted inside rooms, on balconies, or in walkways at Roadrunner Lodge Motel. Simply step at least three feet away from the building—this includes when using cannabis—and you’ll be good to go! If you do smoke or vape in or near your room, a $500 fee will apply to cover the cost of restoring the space to a fresh, fragrance-free environment. We’d much rather not charge anyone—we just want to keep our rooms enjoyable for all.

We also understand some people use essential oils for their well-being, but please note that other guests can be very sensitive to lingering scents. Since we remove those aromas using the same process as we do for smoke, we ask you to avoid using essential oils in your room. Otherwise, the same $500 fee may apply. Thank you for your understanding as we strive to maintain a welcoming, comfortable stay for everyone!

Roadrunner Lodge Motel is a cozy, boutique property, and we pride ourselves on ensuring every guest has the best Route 66 experience. To avoid overbooking, we close reservations once we reach capacity—especially during our bustling peak season—which means we often miss the chance to share our motel with others looking to check us off their bucket list.

If you need to cancel or change your plans, we kindly ask that you let us know as early as possible, and at least 48 hours before 4 p.m. Mountain Time on the day of your scheduled arrival. Changes after this deadline, or no-shows, will result in a charge equal to one night’s room rate (pet fees not included). However, we understand life can throw curveballs—so if you’re running late or need to cancel last minute, please give us a call. We may be able to waive your late cancellation fee if we can find another guest who’s excited to stay with us and make their Route 66 dreams come true!
