What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 424 guest reviews
The Sunset Motel Moriarty earns near-universal praise for its spotless rooms, exceptionally warm and personal staff, and charming Route 66 nostalgia that resonates strongly with guests. The complimentary bagged breakfast is a recurring highlight. Minor gripes — a small TV, scarce power outlets, and limited dining options nearby — are raised occasionally but do little to dent an overwhelmingly positive guest experience.
