The water pressure ws low. The hot water was only warm and never got hot. The bed was so high that my partner had to stand on a chair to get into it. The mattress was poor. The selection of television channels was left over from 1990. A roll of toilet paper had gotten wet and was put back on the toilet paper dispenser by the commode. Faucet was not clean. The attendant was pleasant. Te room heater was noisy. The curtains did not shut out all of the light. Overall, a below average envrionment....better options are available for the same price.

Budget and location friendly for white sands
Ideal location and price for visiting white sands. Having breakfast and being pet friendly was a plus for us. Nothing fancy, budget friendly, and met our needs. I would stay again if we went back.

The good and the bad.
The staff is very friendly. Breakfast was excellent. The bed was comfortable. The floors were dirty. The bathroom could definitely use a remodel. Road noise was loud. For the price, overall it was good.
