I'll be back!

Staying here is like going to see your grandma if your grandma was a great gardener and had a pond next to the pool. The staff is super friendly. The other guests are too. Sitting in the central courtyard, you're serenaded by bird songs and children's voices. The WiFi could be stronger, but that's what gets you into the central courtyard, so I was grateful for that too.

Fair but slipping with age

I have stayed at the Big Chili Inn before, 2012, but it has changed and not so much for the better. The neighborhood seems to have slipped, they DO NOT OFFER any breakfast, and the rooms seem almost sterile.

I liked the Big Chili but it is clearly very dated and although the rooms are large enough they need major upgrade to be considered more than a two star. That said, I understand the property is under new ownership(?) so I look for good things to happen for a motel that can be a fun kitschy spot in Southern New Mexico.

Horrible

This motel is long term stay for most rooms and does not feel safe. We travel a lot and pictures and reviews were not accurate and if it was not so late we would have left. Non-smoking room was surrounded by smoking rooms and walls were paper thin with strange noises all night long. Smell was horrible and we reluctantly used bed and left early the next morning thankfully. The desk clerk was kind and we felt sorry for him.

Decent Enough

Stayed here twice for two days each during a tour of the Southwest. Staff was friendly, but the neighborhood was a bit rough. Not necessarily dangerous, but I saw several heavily drugged individuals walking the street. First room was what you'd expect for a cheap motel/inn. But there was nothing in the room but two beds, a small TV (Roku), small fridge and a toilet and sink. No soap, no extra toilet paper. I was surprised there were towels to be honest. Second time, the room was the same room, but the TV was just a regular TV with cable, the bathroom was completely different, although this time they gave us two plastic wrapped plastic cups, and some tear open shampoo/soap. Ive never seem a hotel that didn't have uniform rooms...but they let us smoke weed in the room, so you take your wins when you can get em...
