Tucumcari is full of abandoned motels, but it's also chock full of vintage motels that are open for business. I have stayed at several and they are good places. The new ones are nice too, I'm just saying you shouldn't be scared of the old ones. Over the past few years we've stayed at the Blue Swallow twice and the Historic Route 66 Motel, both for at least a week, and had a great time. The Blue Swallow is very 1939, while the 66 has more of a Mad Men aura. So just don't photograph the past, immerse yourself.
