Good value
Very specious. Old building but clean. No outlet at bedsides. Complimentary breakfast was great. Not buffet style. I pick this hotel because one of the reviews said, bed was too hard. Not for me it was too soft.

Safe location and between the front desk and town all amenities needed were met. Close to White Sands NP. My only suggestion is that the rooms could use a small dustpan to sweep up the rogue gypsum that gets stuck on your shoes!

We love supporting a local business. This is a family owned and operated hotel, and you can tell they take pride in it. The check in was so quick and easy, and so nice that they are pet friendly. Yes, there is wear and tear on the building and rooms, but that does not take away anything from this hotel. The beds were very comfortable, and the comforters were so soft and cozy. We felt very safe here. We were in a hurry, and skipped the breakfast, but they make it to order for you to enjoy in their space, or even on the go. I’m sad I missed out on the sausage gravy. We will for sure stay here again when in the area.

We enjoyed our stay. Staff were very friendly and room was good at a fair price. We liked that they had sleds we could borrow for White Sands National Park. It was really close to the park as well as food options.
