Staff was friendly and the room was clean and cozy. I slept like a rock. And the water was hot and the pressure was good. Would recommend for a nice, inexpensive place to crash.
This was nicer than many other chain motels I've experienced, with comfortable beds and updated carpets and furniture. The room was clean and comfortable, plus everything worked - AC, heat, plumbing, TV, etc. If you've ever had a room with something that doesn't work, you'll know how important this is. I met the owner, manager and maintenance man, and they all seemed like one family. They were all very nice and treated me like a friend instead of just a customer and made me feel right at home. Plus, almost everything you'll find in a larger city is right there in Socorro without the hassle and traffic.
Great place for the night. Room was clean, service was good, I had a microwave and fridge which was awesome. I was surprised they had a free breakfast in the morning, it had many items. And they had a restaurant attached to the hotel. I will definitely stay here again.
The Inn is a bit older, however the staff elevates the experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable. A huge highlight is the handyman Brian (I hope I've got the right spelling!), who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. Thanks so much!
Just what I needed for my trip overnight stop on the way up to Raton! Check in VERY easy and a pleasurable experience. VERY helpful and friendly staff for those who's pleasure I got to meet. I met the hotel maid (unfortunately I didn't get her name) and the maintenance guy who were both VERY friendly and helpful! The room fulfilled all my needs which was also VERY clean. NOT a "big deal" but I noticed the "flapper" in the toilet appears to be worn out due to the toilet flushing on it's own many times during the night. I'm sure it's nothing Brian can't handle. I was in Room 20. Will stay with you again if I'm in the area. Bed VERY comfortable!
My room was spacious, clean and quiet. I was very happy.
This hotel is a wonderful experience. The room was clean, the bathrooms were nice, and the service was amazing. I had a late check out, and my ride wasn't there yet. I was sitting out by the warehouse nearby, in the sun, for about 10 minutes, and the manager let me wait inside for my ride. I was super grateful. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Thank you!!
Don’t let the looks fool you. Isn’t super fancy but a great place to stay. Very friendly people. Rooms are clean and have everything you need. Good value.
Independent motel with a building from the Sixties that's been continually modernized. Two beds, big room, small table and two chairs, and an air-conditioner that quickly cooled the room. (It was 100 degrees When we arrived.) When we called the front desk because the fridge wasn't cooling, the maintenance man very quickly brought us a another one; then checked all the electricals: TV, microwave, and fridge to make sure everything was working. Very professional. Pleasant motel.
Room was clean and everything worked. It's really easy to get to, husband checked in before I got there and service was very nice. One star off because water pressure in the shower wasn't the best, and they didn't have a hair dryer Microwave, fridge, and coffee pot are provided and did work as expected.
