Wonderful hotel!
Loved the historic vibes, the super fluffy towels, and the unique décor. My husband especially enjoyed the great breakfast - so much delicious food, made to order, and it comes with the room. Check-in was fast and friendly, plus they have a gift shop right there. Really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

Nice place to stay if visiting White Sands
The staff here was very friendly. Breakfast is included in your stay (a real breakfast, not just continental). It is a traditional roadside motel like the old days but has been upgraded. Security cameras are present on the property for peace of mind.
