It was super cute. Looked like it should have s bunch of classic cars out front. We went inside and it was so modern and adorable. We absolutely loved the 2 room set up with all the kids we had with us. If we travel to NM again we will for sure be staying here.

The staff were very freindly and helpful. I decided not to stay, and they gave a refund when they didnt have to. If I were to book again I would insist on staying in the remodeled section which is very nice.

This is the only time that a motel did not honor my confirmed booking. I was informed on the day I arrived that I would need to move across town to another motel in the middle of my 4 night stay because the motel had received a big contract to host an event. This did not work for me because I chose the hotel based on location since it was within walking distance of a conference I was attending. I informed the staff that I was not happy and they said Oh well. I would not stay there again. I feel their business practices are unethical.
