Great for the price and limited options.

Stayed here on my way to Las Cruces. For a motor inn style hotel, it was pleasantly nice. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I’d stay here again for sure.

Traveling from Arizona back home to Texas and had a one night stay over. Staff was really nice and the motel is really great. It’s been updated and is clean and well kept. Even the parking lot is nice! Well lit for outdoor security too. Definitely staying here again!

This was one of the cleanest rooms I’ve ever stayed in. The AC unit was loud, but kept the room nice and frosty. The train was kind of annoying but not nearly as loud as I feared.

For the money? This was a Gem hidden in plain sight. The owner was both gracious and kind. The room was super clean. The only issue was the high speed freight trains running behind the property. Otherwise the best bang for the buck there is.
