A great find- very reasonable rates for what you get. Recently remodeled rooms, clean, quiet, great beds (if you like super firm, 11 is your room), and really nice owners.

It was a great place. Very impressed. Each room has a different theme. The wifi and cable TV worked great. Microwave and refrigerator. We did not expect all that. The owners work on site daily. Hard workers.

The owner is on site. Family run place. Very polite. The rooms were spotless, safe and secure.!! Even the ceiling was was dust free!! The area is great. I ate at the Smokey bear restaurant next door, the food was delicious.

(may 2019) Very pleasant and friendly owner's.
Clean comfortable room, fitting for the area.. near historic western town.
I enjoyed the stay and would revisit any time I'm in the area.
(August 2019- Revisit) ..it's been a little over four months and I found myself coming back through the area from Arizona to Texas. stopped here for the night once more ,in a different room. I find this place very comfortable and interesting, the family running the business are extremely pleasant and friendly. As far as cleanliness, each of the rooms were found to be very well kept and clean, I have no complaints

As a traveling sales person in New Mexico and West Texas for 7 years this is by far my favorite place to stay. The staff/manager/owner are all very friendly and the rooms are extremely clean and affordable. I love the southwest Smokey the Bear Decor, I feel like I'm on vacation instead of working. I have stayed in many of the rooms and they are all very nice. I LOVE this place!

I've stayed her three times and had an excellent experience every time. First, the owners are very nice and accommodating. The rooms are clean and smell good. The beds are firm (the way I like it) and lofty pillows. For a small town with sometimes dingy hotels, this is a breath of fresh air.
