Guests note easy parking and an on-site laundry, but no elevator and intermittent construction.

Look, let's be up-front right away...this is a Motel, and as such doesn't have all the conveniences of a Hotel. However, the staff is very friendly and helpful, they do have lots of amenities on the property such as a washer and dryer for those of us needing that, there's an included (but really limited) breakfast, and they gave me some rags to wipe off my motorcycle when I was done with my ride. The drain in the bathtub didn't drain, and the floors squeak (don't ALL Motel floors squeak?), and the "no smoking" room smelled like smoke that they attempted to cover up with that truly weird smelling substance (you know what I'm talking about). Overall, however, a good value, and I'd stay here again if I ever get back to the area...they do the best they can with what they have. Conveniently located on one of the main streets through town.

Overall it was a good stay. The property is currently being renovated, so there’s a section that’s cordoned off and a big construction dumpster in the parking lot. They don’t have permanent signs up, which makes finding the place after dark a little harder. But the room was clean and well stocked. The complimentary breakfast was good and we had no major issues while lodging. Hopefully the renovation work will wrap up soon and they can be fully operational.

This is an old hotel that appears to be remodeling slowly. The bathroom was nicely remodeled; however, no amount of remodeling can adjust for the lack of insulation. The lady in the office was friendly and the breakfast was good.

We love staying at the econo where the staff is personable, it's close to the convenience stores and restaurants, the laundry on site is not expensive, and everyone is respectfully. Also the rates are great along with the 24 hr juice and coffee and continental breakfast. We always come here for a hotel getaway.

The location is great. Nearby shopping and dining areas. Easily accessible. The rooms were terrible. Not clean and damaged interior. Not maintained well. The sheets were not cleaned. I could see dog paws on the bedsheet. it is pretty sure that they haven't changed the sheets prior to check-in. Informed the front desk and the person didn't even offer to come over and look, instead asked me to go down to the front desk to get a new sheet for me to change it myself. So arrogant to guests. Never ever again....

The motel is rather old, like from the 50s, some parts of the room clearly showed wear, the beds were old fashioned springs that squeaked when you turned over. The photos make the motel look better than is actually is. The room was cramped and small, but the hotel is pet friendly, the room was clean, with a mini-fridge, microwave, and TV. Overall the room was acceptable for this resort town because of the great price. The motel was full on the night we stayed, so clearly others were happy to stay there, too.

The beds are comfortable (that's #1 priority when staying away from home, right?). Love the proximity to the airport w/o being at the airport. Be sure to have dinner at Casa Mexico next door. Best Mexican food I've had since leaving NM. The renovation next door is 'tidy' and not intrusive.

I stayed here for a a couple of days. Did not get room service the first day. The staff was unprofessional. While having breakfast in the lobby the staff would be cursing in front of my two young children. Although the rooms are non-smoking. They have ash trays hanging right outside the rooms for people to smoke and you can smell the smoke. Beds are old and squeak and mattress can be a bit wobbly.

Our prepaid room as cancelled without our knowledge. The “manager” informed us that that’s what happens when you book with a third party company like hotels,com and you should never assume you have a room until you call the hotel directly. They didn’t offer any assistance in finding a room and were extremely rude
