Everyone that worked here was so friendly! And pet friendly! The breakfast was great, off a menu and cooked to order. The beds were very comfortable. I highly recommend!

Staff are great! Breakfast was wonderful, facilities are slightly dated in places but so clean. I appreciate the attention to detail-- giant towels for the shower! It's an easy ride to White Sands National Park and Cloudcroft. I'd stay here again and recommend it to others.
