Very nice room, clean and creative decor. The owners are very nice and helpful. We will stay again.
This motel is very special. The staff was wonderful and very friendly. The room was spotless, with tons of personality. Each room has a theme. Ours was the Matador. I highly recommend this little motel.
Nice themed room with comfortable bed and parking right outside the room. Beautiful view and the owners she very friendly and have good information about the area.
The owners were so sweet. We arrived later in the evening and they were very helpful at letting us know what was open to get a bite to eat. This is just the cutest place to stay. So clean and the rooms are themed.
Loved our stay! This motel is very very special. Friendly owners greeted us, easy to check in and out, lovely breakfast snacks and coffee/tea. The room was very clean, with nice memory mattress, great water pressure in the shower. A truly great value for a unique experience. We will stay here again for sure!
Nice accommodations and very professional and considerate staff

Extremely clean rooms! Comfortable beds! (and I am picky about both!) It had a “homey” feeling. This place is a rare find. It is run by a husband and wife that are very kind and very accommodating. This is my second time staying here. On this trip our group of 6 rented 2 rooms and everyone in our group enjoyed their stay. I will stay here EVERY TIME I travel through Raton, NM.
We love everything about this hotel. The rooms are clean, comfortable and each one has a different theme. The couple who own and run this property are so kind they treat you like they've known you forever and you'll love the message on the marquis. We will always stay here.
I have stayed here a number of times. It is a great little retro motel. Themed rooms make every trip a surprise. Will always stay here on overnights to Raton.
