Liked: Staff & service
Front desk guy was extremely friendly. Gave some suggestion for restaurants. The building is very dated. Had a hard time finding outlets to be able to plug in my electronics. Obviously work is being done so there's a lot of construction materials in the parking lot. There were only a couple of guests there. The town of Tumucari itself is pretty run down. Most businesses are boarded up. It took me a bit to find a place for the pup to be able to run that wasn't full of mud or in an iffy area.

The hotel is quaint, loved the 80's music playing in the bar. The bed was extra firm which is not my favorite, but the room was clean and had decent amenities. Would definitely stay there again anytime.

This is an older motel, without a breakfast option. But, that being said, the prices were very reasonable and the service was great. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were extremely spacious. This would be a great place for a family with a lot of "stuff" to stay.
