Motel Safari

This is by far my favorite motel in Tucumcari. The owners are super friendly, the rooms are excellent, and the central location is perfect for watching RT66 traffic as you have a beer on the patio. Best motel in town!!

This was such a great little place! We made our reservation last minute and relatively late (8:30pm) and, the front desk was polite and accommodating. The room was clean, and the bed was awesome. Only bad thing was the heater couldn't decide whether or not the room was warm enough, so it kept shutting off for a few seconds and then turning back on, but it was pretty cold that night! Even still, it was great!

LCD TVs in the rooms let you know that it's not the 1950's anymore, but the overall feel of Tucumcari and owner Richard's classic T-Bird parked outside the office say differently. Both Richard and Gail made us feel right at home and even helped sort out us going to the Mesalands Community College Rodeo - a great night!
If you ever plan to motor West, make sure you stop off here for a night. Even though it doesn't get a mention in the song, you'd be missing out on something a bit special if you chose to breeze by and not kick back a little in Tucumcari....

Very cute and very clean. The owner/operator took time to answer our questions about the area and show us all the aspects of our room. Great stop on our road trip.

A fantastic motel oozing with all the retro charm you would want on your route 66 adventure. The owners totally 'get it' and will be there to help you with anything you need for your stay and exploration of the area. It's as good a motel as you will ever find.

This is the place to stay. Wonderful rooms. And the service is amazing

Had the best nights sleep on our trip so far at this gem of a hotel. Super clean, friendly staff, comfy bed, well appointed room. Highly recommended!

Amazing motel. Owner is very nice. It is very clean and feels like you’re in a time machine.

Just returned from Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. Stayed twice, going and returning. The Safari is very clean, comfortable and a great stop. Highly recommended!

Nice and cozy little place. Very friendly staff and got to meet Sam (friendly boxer dog). I got a room same night. Speedy WiFi , cool AC. Small bath but good enough.
Definitely recommended.
