On our great American Road Trip, we must stay in Tucumcari, NM one night. It's just an overnight, get rest and move on kind of stop/stay. Has anyone stayed there? Is it a safe place? What is there to do there? Our drive to Tucumcari is about all the driving we can do on day 1 because we can't leave home (Dallas-area) until around 10 a.m. Your thoughts?

I haven't stayed there, but the Blue Swallow is supposed to be a nice bit of old Route 66:

Stayed at the Hampton Inn and it was clean and quiet. Seemed safe eonogh as I drove around town.
THANKS everyone. I'm so glad to know it's safe. I love the things to do list.
