The Raton Pass Motor Inn was unique in that each room was decorated with memorabilia from the 1950's and 60's. It was a lot of fun and the owners were great. I would definitely stay there again.

The owners have continued the continuous path from the 50s, and done so with great expertise and class. The lobby is as good as a museum. The location is wonderful, on the edge of town, so it is quiet, and great scenery out of your door.
