Pet friendly stay

After just having stayed in Amarillo at the worst motel ever, this place was heaven. Friendly person who checked us in and pets were allowed with a $10 fee.

Perfectly serviceable for our one-night stay. Carrizozo is a tiny town with very few services, but we were not looking for much. We had to be out and on the road very early for the Trinity site open house, so I don't think we were in this room for a full 12 hours.

Satisfied.

Room was good and spacious, shower, toulet and sink functioned well, had refrigerator microwave and tv and coffee maker. The beds were firm and clean. Noted some expired bugs but no live ones. Overall, a decent place to stay.

Don't be scared off by the exterior. It is rather run down and badly in need of paint. But the rooms have been nicely remodeled and most importantly everything worked (A/C, hot water, sinks drain). The rooms were clean and it was quiet even with a large family next door.

Convenient & comfortable

Very convenient amenities in large and spacious room. Only drawback is the bathroom which doesn't have anywhere to place shaving kits. Also sink was very lopsided and in need of straightening. Other than that it was clean and comfortable,
