I don’t know about this property but for reasons of your own, you did not accept my review of a property I stayed at in Tucumcari the other night. It was negative but not with and meanness. It was lacking details which I omitted so as not to cause undue harm to the property. They know what is wrong. I will never write another review unless that review is posted. All I have to say on this matter

The place was great with clean and quiet rooms, and comfortable beds. The staff at the front desk weren’t rude by any means though they didn’t give me the impression they were thrilled to be there either. Overall, it was perfect for my business trip to Hendersonville.
