"This place is right on the original Route 66. Coming from the West, it’s the first place you come to. Sadly the glory days of Route 66 are over but back in the day, this hotel was hopping. It has a beautiful stocked full bar area and a nice bar size pool table You can sense the thousands of guests that frequented the bar/restaurant along with a mix of locals that would come by to enjoy live music. Once a Ramada, it’s now the Tri-Star Inn Express and Mike, the owner recently celebrated 20 years at this location. He previously owned a hotel about 70 miles south of Tucumcari prior to settling in Tucumcari. As an immigrant, he moved his family from New York to the desert southwest decades ago. A hard working family man indeed, doing everything from repairs to cleaning toilets, making beds to making breakfast. He made it work. Covid hit and changed a lot. He struggled through it but now faces a depleted, unmotivated work force and no longer has the restaurant portion open. The business is for sale and I’m hoping the right person comes along to keep this place going. It needs a little TLC, a dedicated owner with community support and a free good employees. If I had the funds to buy it I would consider it and relocate to NM. Hopefully someone will come along. Mike, it was a pleasure to get to know you and visit during the two visits I made this summer. I wish you luck and look forward to stopping by again. Keep room 111 open for me! — Patrick from MO , "
