I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. While not a luxury hotel, it offered me a spacious and clean room, a comfortable bed, and the biggest TV I've encountered while traveling the past week. And breakfast was included. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Mexican restaurant next door is good, too.

Convenient

Reasonably comfortable bed. Had to seek out TP. Towels are smallish. Tub didn't drain. Breakfast was a choice of 3 sugary cereals, and prepackaged pastries. A bowl of assorted fruit. Coffee was good, and real milk. People at front desk are very friendly. I'd stay here again.

You get what you pay for! We got into Alamogordo late and this was the most reasonably priced room with a low pet fee. We didn't love it just because it was poorly maintained, but it was a place to spend the night and pretty clean. The room smelled nice! It was disconcerting that the only place to let the dog potty was the back of the building. I did appreciate that the young man at the front desk showed us the room before we chose to stay, and that there were some small breakfast options in the lobby.

The area in which the hotel was on was clean, but area around the property was questionable. Property also did not have a pool which was part of the advertising for this property. Also, breakfast was only 3 types of cereral....but there was coffee! Owners were very friendly though.

Extremely noisy but clean rooms

The staff at the counter was unnecessarily rude and demonstrated attitude problems throughout. The room was comfortable and clean but you could hear loud train noises and honks coming from the train tracks which are in extremely close proximity to the hotel.

Overnight trip

Stay for a night and the outside of the building gave me bates motel vibes, but surprisingly the room didn’t match the outside. The room smell like paint and you can tell it had been remodeled with the amount of paint on the floor and walls etc. my only complaint was not enough toilet paper at least an extra roll and didn’t feel safe with the basic lock on the door. Overall, the bed was comfortable and everything was clean and the AC didn’t throw out any dust and worked perfectly so, I would definitely stay here again if need be.

Overall, room 121 was clean and comfortable. Good wifi. Good cable TV. Fridge and microwave in room. Motel is close to a busy road and a railroad, so expect some train and traffic noise. Good value for money.
