It isn't fancy, but it is clean and simple and reasonably priced. ##### Justin ### 8/10 Good #### Randi 25 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Perfectly serviceable for our one-night stay. Carrizozo is a tiny town with very few services, but we were not looking for much. We had to be out and on the road very early for the Trinity site open house, so I don't think we were in this room for a full 12 hours. ##### Randi Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 14 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Old style motel in a wide spot in the road.

Room was good and spacious, shower, toulet and sink functioned well, had refrigerator microwave and tv and coffee maker. The beds were firm and clean. Noted some expired bugs but no live ones. Overall, a decent place to stay. ##### Delbert Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tadson 29 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities WiFi was not available; had to go to the neighboring hotel to check in… the office and “gift shop” was closed the entire time. ##### Tadson ### 6/10 Okay #### Dale 10 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Check in was across the street at another hotel, needed to go to other hotel for normal amenities - ice bucket and ice for example. ##### Dale Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Brett 19 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice touches in the bathroom area with beige towels, rolled in a basket. Nice mirror. Very comfortable bed with nice spread rather than comforter. No kleenex. Parking in front of unit. ##### Brett Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark 17 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness O one at Rainbow Inn was there. I had to cross the highway to Carrizozo IN and check in there. Got the wrong type of room and charged $20 more than listed ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary 5 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Don't be scared off by the exterior. It is rather run down and badly in need of paint. But the rooms have been nicely remodeled and most importantly everything worked (A/C, hot water, sinks drain). The rooms were clean and it was quiet even with a large family next door. ##### Gary Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michael 29 Dec 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness Could not get to motel, walked across street to motel where there was a note to cross the street to a different motel for check in. Room was cold but warmed up, bed is good, bathroom not good. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tracy 31 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Crooks I booked a room online. Paid the full amount. When my guys got there they were charged $90 because it was only booked for 1 adult. Yet, when i went back and added a 2nd person online it only went up $10. So, we were charged $75.00 + an additional $90 for 1 extra person! How does that make sense? ##### Tracy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Samuel 10 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The woman who seemed to be running the property was great. Very friendly and helpful. The property however was lacking. Only one dining option in the town on a Monday night and it was not great. It rained and the room nearly flooded because of water runoff from the parking lot. Located very near a gas station and you could hear the music/announcements from the gas station in the room. ##### Samuel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### MONICA 17 Aug 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disgusting It was horrible. As soon as we walked in it smelled of mold or wet towels. There was no hot water. I should be reimbursed because we didn't stay. We immediately booked another hotel. ##### MONICA Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sheryl 3 Mar 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities When I made reservation it said they take service dogs When I got there they transferred me to there other property and I did not get a king size bed. Which my service dog is a Great Dane and sleeps with to alert me if I have drop in my condition and sleeping in a smaller bed is very inconvenient and the TV did not work and no one was available to help. I would not stay here again Do not recommend ##### Sheryl Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Goulding's Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monument-Valley-Hotels-Gouldings-Lodge.h11899033.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
