During the second week of June2024, my most favorite #1 son and I were moving much of his household from Mountain ViewCA-USA to HoustonTX-USA, which required overnighting in several communities along the way. One such location was the ROYAL HOLIDAY MOTEL, GallupNM-USA. It was one of my favorites because our room was located on the ground floor, on the South row facing North, which meant no climbing of stairs for me! 
Checking in was easy; all major cards are accepted, and today’s modern internet speeds up the whole process! 
The mattresses are nice and firm, reception is friendly and, since we had had a delicious meal (Oasis Mediterranean Restaurant), I was ready to get a necessary good night’s rest! 
This wonderful hotel appears dated—as do most of the heritage hotels-motels along the “mother road”/historic Route 66/business I-40/route 318–and give all travellers that needed place to lay their heads for the night. 
The next morning, whilst making my way to the lobby for brekkie, the owner/operator immediately empathized with me, for she herself had a similar limp. I felt great relief/confirmation as she repeatedly told me “NO SURGERY” and shared with me how she’d made powder from Tumeric root to ingest daily. I haven’t quite gotten to that level of creativity (yet), but understood exactly what she meant because of my own bulk consumption of the processed powder. Besides this nice nook being available to all guests, I could look across the noteworthy highway and see several tracks, with trains rolling East & West through the pass. If I listened, I was able to clearly distinguish the different vehicles operating: (motor)cars/(motor)trucks/or train cars being sorted into long trains, none of which I heard in the room, though the occasional siren or plane passing overhead might creep in. 
I was quite pleased with the low cost of this hotel, and know you too will be captivated by the serenity which pervades it, especially on the ground floor. It certainly has my coveted “iWheel of Approval!”

¡¡You Will Feel Like Royalty Here‼️

The two most important things to me in an affordable motel are cleanliness and plumbing. The first thing I noticed was how clean the room was, and the plumbing was totally fine. A couple of minor inconveniences, but that is to be expected.  

Good place to stay

Ideal to crash and follow a trip the following morning. I was able to check in around midnight. Convenient price and location. I had no issues with the bed and bathroom. I parked right in front of the room so that was convenient too. Gas station nearby

Motel

The owner were fabulous and so caring that we were safe.  Told us about Ice maker.  Direction to local
store and what time breakfast would be.  Great place to stay.  They let your little pets or big ones also stay
her.

Fantastic place for the price.

All the comforts of other motels we stayed at on this road trip through Az.,Utah, and NM.  and at a very competitive room rate. The owners are very kind and the room was clean.
Thank you for the hospitality!

Awesome room at a great price

The staff was very friendly and Accommodating.   The room was cozy and beds were comfortable.  We couldn’t figure out how to work the television and the staff came right away to help show us how to work the remote control. Complete operator error nothing wrong with the television.

Friendly and comfortable

Large comfortable rooms, old-style (this is Route 66) but updated with wi-fi, etc.  great towels and bed, very clean, comfortable.  Had everything we need.  Really surprised because price was budget-range.  Breakfast had a few options - enough for us and we like breakfast!

A step back in time on Route 66 - great value

Owners very accommodating. They cater & assist in our needs like transportation & comfort. The property is a bit rundown but the owners tried to make our stay comfortable. Area is along Rt 66, but unfortunately not too many stores or activity around the area. Not too many restaurant too.

Very accommodating owners!

Sue and I are doing a book and travel blog on visiting the national parks on a budget. So we look for safe, clean, convenient, reasonable cost rooms. This place hits all our buttons and we will stay here next trip through. Gallop is definitely worth a stop. Great shops, close to El Morro National Monument, Window Rock Az Capitol of the Navajo Nation, Chaco Canyon (Lord Help you!), Mal Pais NM, and the absolute not to be missed Monument Valley in Arizona.
Let's talk negatives. Yes it's across from the train switch yard. We lived 1 block from the tracks at one point, now live 6 blocks away up on the valley over fast tracks. To us it's comforting. I am sure that's a down side to people who need white noise. The hallway carpet is worn and stained. First of all it's a window enclosed walkway where most places would have an outside sidewalk. It has to be a pain to maintain, but it’s pretty nice to look out your room and see your car and have a secure entry area. People work construction and do four wheeling out here. Of course the carpet gets stains over time. So what? The rooms are dated architecture which also means they are large. The parking lot paving is kind of rough like my drive at home. Oh well, it's not a race track. The refrigerator has a smaller freezer. We freeze water bottles each night to keep our drink and food coolers cold and dry. So we love big freezers, but at least it has one. The breakfast is pretty limited cold fare. They had really nice cinnamon rolls from a bake shop. 
Pluses. It was $64 including tax and credit card fee. Dang! The room was large with two stuffed chairs, a table and a recliner. The furniture was in good shape. The room was clean and the carpet in good shape. We found none of the dust bunnies others reported when staying during a storm. Outlets were all used for lighting so bring a plug splitter or two for chargers. The bathroom was small but adequate. The location was convenient. The walk to the room was maybe 50'. The staff, ahh the staff. Other reviewers are right. They are just wonderful to work with. I call in at 8 for an 11 o'clock arrival. No problem. All he wanted was a name to hold the room. No cancelation policy. They chat with you, and offer you stuff.
In short this is not a 4 star hotel, but a 2 star motel that deserves it's 4 star reviews. It is exactly what a budget traveler hopes to find.

Clean reasonable room.

We had no problems finding this place, and the lady working the front desk was an absolute sweetheart! The rooms were big and we were surprised to find our bathroom contained a shampoo dispenser and a heating bulb! Being right next door to a Sonic was also a major plus! Other reviews have complained about train noises, but we only heard them once or twice. I would absolutely stay here again.
