We had already driven 13 hours when we started looking for a cheaper hotel. Initially we looked in Raton, but the poor reviews about cleanliness, etc, for the budget hotels in that area made us decide to drive the extra half hour to get to this hotel. We were not disappointed! The hotel was immaculate and well-kept, though older. The sheets and towels were newer, and the beds comfortable. Check-in was so easy, and the view in the morning (we had a mountain view room) was grand. Be aware that there is no breakfast, and the rooms are on the smaller side. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed one night while traveling. This is an older property that has made an effort to update the fixtures, furniture, and beds. Beds were comfortable (felt “newish”), but rooms need a good coat of paint and curtains need some help. This place is very underwhelming from the outside, but for the price I thought this was a good place to stay.
