I have had the opportunity to stay at the Blue Swallow before and look forward to staying there again in August on my way to Sturgis. This is a time machine where you step back into a 1940's Motor Court. You have to understand that this is the intent and charm of this facility. This is how one traveled back... More

When booking our trip to Tucumcari for my brother's graduation, we were quite unsure as to what to expect. First of all, the customer service at the Blue Swallow was outstanding. The owners are personable and accommodating, prompt at returning phone calls, and interested in making sure that our needs were met. My family of 6 (4 children) stayed in... More

We flew into Alberquerque and picked up a car to start our route 66 adventure across New Mexico , Texas and Oaklahoma. First stop was the Blue Swallow Motel and we were immediately transported back to the Route 66 glory days with the neon lights, vintage cars and friendly attitudes. Also met the owners of the midpoint cafe who were... More

Stay here always on my trips through New Mexico. The new owners, Kevin and Nancy, have done a good job remodeling the Blue Swallow. It is peaceful and offers a great nights rest. Great for a motorcycle traveler with the garage next to the room. Friendly atmosphere and relaxing visits in the evening with other guests. More

On my trip on Old Route 66 I stopped for the night at Blue Swallow Motel. What a great place to rest my head. The owners were super friendly and the rooms was cozy. I slept great! The neon sign at night transported me back in time and I loved all the wonderful painted murals. If you're traveling on Rt... More

This is the real deal. So much of Route 66 is 1) either gone, or 2) a tourist trap. The Blue Swallow lets you step back in time, with quaint motel rooms and garage parking right next to your room. The owners are doing it right. More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Blue Swallow. It is a blast back to the 50's and utterly charming. Beds were really comfortable and rooms were wonderfully decorated in mid-century style. The owners can't do enough to make your stay a really pleasant one. I can't see being on the old Route 66 without staying there. It's definitely a... More

This authentic Route 66 motel was a great treat. The bed was soo comfortable and after full days of driving and discovering Route 66 sites it was great to come home to a great bed to sleep in and perfect glider chairs in front of our rooms to chill out in! The whole vibe of Blue Swallow, the rooms, the... More

Stayed at the Blue Swallow three years ago and swore we would never go back. Heard they had new owners and had improved so we gave it another try. While the new owners have their hearts in the right place, they are still missing the mark. I appreciate how expensive and labor intensive it can be to repair and refurbish... More
