This motel is a great deal for somebody or a couple visiting the area. It isn't fancy, but it is clean and simple and reasonably priced.

Perfectly serviceable for our one-night stay. Carrizozo is a tiny town with very few services, but we were not looking for much. We had to be out and on the road very early for the Trinity site open house, so I don't think we were in this room for a full 12 hours.

Pet friendly stay

After just having stayed in Amarillo at the worst motel ever, this place was heaven. Friendly person who checked us in and pets were allowed with a $10 fee.

Old style motel in a wide spot in the road. Large clean room with updated bath, mini fridge/freezer, microwave, and cable. Good place to wind down after a long drive.

Don't be scared off by the exterior. It is rather run down and badly in need of paint. But the rooms have been nicely remodeled and most importantly everything worked (A/C, hot water, sinks drain). The rooms were clean and it was quiet even with a large family next door.

Convenient & comfortable

Very convenient amenities in large and spacious room. Only drawback is the bathroom which doesn't have anywhere to place shaving kits. Also sink was very lopsided and in need of straightening. Other than that it was clean and comfortable,

I booked a room online. Paid the full amount. When my guys got there they were charged $90 because it was only booked for 1 adult. Yet, when i went back and added a 2nd person online it only went up $10. So, we were charged $75.00 + an additional $90 for 1 extra person! How does that make sense?

The woman who seemed to be running the property was great. Very friendly and helpful. The property however was lacking. Only one dining option in the town on a Monday night and it was not great. It rained and the room nearly flooded because of water runoff from the parking lot. Located very near a gas station and you could hear the music/announcements from the gas station in the room.

Disgusting

It was horrible. As soon as we walked in it smelled of mold or wet towels. There was no hot water. I should be reimbursed because we didn't stay. We immediately booked another hotel.

When I made reservation it said they take service dogs When I got there they transferred me to there other property and I did not get a king size bed. Which my service dog is a Great Dane and sleeps with to alert me if I have drop in my condition and sleeping in a smaller bed is very inconvenient and the TV did not work and no one was available to help. I would not stay here again Do not recommend

The clerk was very confused and was not clear about things with me. He told me that I would have to take up my issues with Expieda and not him and I said I would. Then he just kept on making it difficult. The room was very nice and clean and comfortable.
