In the center
of it all.

El Don Motel sits on Central Avenue SW — one of Albuquerque's most connected corridors. Whether you're chasing the spirit of Route 66, heading to Old Town, or using us as a base to explore the high desert, we put you right where the action is.

I-40 is a short drive away. Downtown Albuquerque, the New Mexico Museum of Art, and the ABQ BioPark are all within easy reach. And when you're ready to eat, dozens of local restaurants line Central Ave — from New Mexican classics to everything in between.
