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.

I booked a room online. Paid the full amount. When my guys got there they were charged $90 because it was only booked for 1 adult. Yet, when i went back and added a 2nd person online it only went up $10. So, we were charged $75.00 + an additional $90 for 1 extra person! How does that make sense?

Quirky little old fashioned motel

This is old school (like 1950s motor-hotel). You park right in front of your room. Many of the features of this motel are just like motels used to be. It’s designed for driving in, sleeping, and leaving. No pool. No breakfast. Key entry. The office is closed. You have to cross to motel across the street to check in. Staff is friendly but hard to get if you have an issue. The room a little tight with two beds but not unpleasantly so if there are two of you (4 would be a squeeze). Bathrooms have been recently renovated with rainfall showers heads (note: my son is 5’ 11” and he said he didn’t have much room to spare so folks an inch or two over 6 foot might have issues). Rest of the room hasn’t been updated for decades (which is shabby or charming depending on your POV). Room was clean but not spotless. A few flies but no other bugs. I slept well but the noise of the window AC unit kept my son awake. I found the sound of the unit helpful as you are close to a busy road. Bed was hard but not the worst. If you can’t stand the thought of going another hour or two to a larger town, the inn is a quirky place to stop.

Had to go across the street and check in at another (seemingly better) motel and wait for someone to open the office to check in. After I checked in, a group of gang member looking housekeepers and their friends all watched as I walked to my room. It was very uncomfortable. The carpet in the room had a big stain in the middle that im hoping was red wine, and had about a dozen dead beetles and a dead scorpion next to the bed. My wife pulled the covers back on one of the beds and there was a live beetle in the bed. The door lock was old and flimsy and someone could easily kick in the door. We barely slept because we were worried about out truck getting broken into since there was no fence or gate around the property and the train that runs behind the building came by at least every hour. Also, the direct tv box had no signal so no working channels on the tv, i tried everything including changing the input settings and unplugging and plugging back in. At least there was coffee..

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.
