Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
For a lower priced property it was really very good. Pros: Very clean, excellent maintained grounds, high end sheets, fabulous very high bath towels, great free choices for hot breakfast, wonderful cook, server & busser (one person), breakfast room very cheerful, fabulous gift shop higher end merchandise. Cons: The bedspread was very scratchy. The room was incredibly clean but very dreary even with curtains open. The heating/ac unit worked well but front was broken on it. Cheapest shampoo, little bar soap & conditioner.

Great mid-century vintage hotel. Beautiful southwestern motifs decorate the buildings. Clean room with comfortable bed. There is also a small gift shop in the lobby with jewelry and clothing, including Pendleton items such as blankets and purses. The breakfast includes food items and also selections that cost an additional charge. The best part is the breakfast is served to you at your table. Very attentive and helpful servers and workers. All in all it is a great hotel conveniently located to stores and restaurants. We were there for the annual open house at the famous Trinity site and it was about a five minute ride to get to the New Mexico Museum of Missiles and Space, from where we took the tour. We will be back at this property should be in the area again.

I don’t understand why this property had such good reviews. The woman at the check in desk was very rude. No soap was provided for the sink. The carpet and the chair were stained. There were dead bugs in the light fixture and hair on the floor in the bathroom. However, the bedding was clean and the beds were comfortable.
