The Hotel Ynez is a beautiful spot to relax and stay. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable when we checked in. Shout out to Peter! He was able to assist us with making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The room was warm when we arrived but the AC was easy to use. The pool was clean and there were lots of towels ready for guests. The complimentary coffee was delicious. Overall, we can’t wait to stay again on our next trip!

What a delightfully funky little roadside motel! This place is a gem along the highway and definitely worth stopping at. While it may seem a tad pricey for a motel, it is worth it. The renovations were immaculate and lend to a quirky vibe that is backed by great service, clean rooms and lots of delightful small touches. If you have the chance, take one of the bikes on offer for a quick ride into the town of Los Alamos!
