Gracious and Thoughtful

Wonderful couple who own the Raton Pass Motor Inn. They are intelligence, gracious, friendly and helpful. They can be serious and they can laugh. It is a fun funky place to stay with lots of collectibles and some antiques. Breakfast consists of: juice, coffee, tea, yogurt, bread, cereal, hardboiled eggs, and you eat at a table with other guests. If you prefer the Hilton, this in not your place. If you are up for funky and fun, just give them a call! Brandy & Michael are waiting to hear from you. Joanne. PS: I have stayed there frequently and will not change..

The retro look is cute. We barely made it on time for check in but the host waited for us. The rooms have thin walls so you can hear your neighbors. The doors could use a little more security. Nice breakfast and good tv cable and streaming.

Fantastic stay with retro charm

We had an incredible experience at this motel! The room was spotless and well-maintained, which made our stay so comfortable. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and accommodating service—every interaction felt genuine and welcoming. What really stood out was the retro vibe of the property—it’s clear that a lot of thought went into preserving its unique charm while still offering modern amenities. It felt like stepping back in time in the best way possible. If you’re looking for a clean, stylish, and welcoming place to stay, this is it. We can’t wait to come back! Five stars all the way!
