We enjoyed our stay at this motel! The staff were very nice and helpful. They had free sleds for our use at White Sands, a pool, gift shop and a hot breakfast. The New Mexican theme and artwork was amazing!

The room was simple and comfortable; it was good for our one night stay with our 2 kids. The bathroom felt a little dingy, mostly due to wear it seems, as it might need some updating. The staff was friendly, the breakfast had good options, and the little shop had some nice things! The pool looked nice too, but we didn’t go in. And the painted exterior was a fun pop of color.
