This was a last minute booking for an overnight stay. It is an older motel, but it was comfortable. The room was clean, and the person who checked us in was quick. There wasn't much in amenities, but we were satisfied with our room. The heater in the room worked well as the temps dropped down into the 30's that night.

Manager was friendly and efficient. Property has been nicely restored and is well maintained. Our room was very clean and the parking was excellent with luxuriant, full-sized spaces that can accommodate almost any vehicle with room to get in and out of the car. Most places you need a shoe horn to get a Prius in to the space.

Great for the price and limited options.

Stayed here on my way to Las Cruces. For a motor inn style hotel, it was pleasantly nice. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I’d stay here again for sure.
