Sweet southwest inspired lodging. Comfy, clean rooms. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Price very reasonable. Only complaint I have is how loud the ice maker was next to our room when people used it late at night. But would stay here again without hesitation. Very friendly employees.

Like that it's a local, small business. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Value was superb. Fantastic made to order breakfast choices. Loved seeing solar panels on roof. Very convenient to have a microwave, refrig and coffee maker in room. Loved their personal list of favorite restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Love the New Mexico themed rooms, nice and big, updated, plenty of outlets for charging, breakfast at the restaurant is included on certain items which was a nice bonus. Front desk staff was very friendly. Bathroom was a little outdated and there was a beeping coming from the alley behind the bathroom that came on and off all night.

This isn't a "hotel" but a motel, so somewhat deceptive with branding. It would be an average motel, but a below average hotel. The prices are well above expected motel rates.

Vintage New Mexico lodging. The free breakfast is much better than your average continental breakfast. Beds are comfy and the AC is nice and cool.
