  : I think the bed sheets and towels were clean, although I found a hair on a washcloth and on the fitted sheet. The location was fine, I guess.
  : I reserved two rooms, one for my family, and one for my sister's family. The shower curtain in my sister's room had semen on it. DISGUSTING. I took a picture, but I will spare you. They didn't discover it until the morning when they went to take a shower. Thankfully, nobody touched it...who knows what kind of diseases they'd get. The shower head and the bathtub spout in her room were very loose, and the water line where the toilet used to be was leaking water (someone had placed washcloths under it to catch the drips). The furnishings in this motel (both rooms) are old and low-quality. Additionally, while loading up the cars in the morning, another guest asked the owner/manager for a couple of towels, saying he only had two in his room (which he reserved for four people). Instead of providing the guest with a couple of towels, she proceeded to argue with him about how many towels were in the room...it was ridiculous. How does this place have decent reviews? In order for this motel to qualify as acceptable (bare minimum), they need to hire competent housekeeping. To qualify as welcoming/enjoyable, they need: competent housekeeping, updating furnishings (current furniture is old/cheap/worn)/remodel, new towels (current ones are thin and stained), competent maintenance worker, AND owners/management trained in providing quality customer service. A motel of his "quality" should charge $20/night, not $80+, or they should charge hourly rates. The owners need to invest in their property for the safety of their guests, to protect their property from damage (from water, insects, etc), and to have pride in the product they provide.

  : The hotel is along the main highway and pretty close to all rests (McDonalds, Denny's Wendy's, Kentucky, and a Chinese restaurant, etc). The best of all is that White Sands National Park is just about 10-13 minutes, just straight ahead. The lady at the counter is friendly.
  : The parking area is a bit small and can be crowded but it's not really an issue. An big RV might have some trouble getting/squeezing in?

  : The room was filthy, the toilet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in three months. Hair in the shower and dirty towels. Also there were groups of people living in the motel , drug dealers. Loud music.
