We cannot say enough kind things about this husband & wife team who own this. The room we stayed in was so stinking cute. Each room is themed. Ours was the “pin up”. Let your imagination. Very family friendly and so clean. The bathroom was so clean! Will go out of our way to stay again if going back home the same way.

I love this place, and go out of my way some to stop in Raton so I can sleep here. Every room is set up with cool old decorations around a specific theme. The owners are fantastic. Last time there they bent over backwards trying to help my buddy track down his lost wallet. It’s also easy walking distance to downtown, and while there’s not a whole lot going on in Raton it does have its charms.

Good room lighting for reading was inadequate. Staff was friendly and competent. TV system was not to my liking. Free breakfast was good no complaints. My second stay there and hope to stay again.

Order 50’s era motel that brought back memories of traveling with my parents in the fifties. Love to support locally owned businesses rather than national chains. Would definitely stay again!

Loved our stay! This motel is very very special. Friendly owners greeted us, easy to check in and out, lovely breakfast snacks and coffee/tea. The room was very clean, with nice memory mattress, great water pressure in the shower. A truly great value for a unique experience. We will stay here again for sure!

Awesome place to stay

The owners were so sweet. We arrived later in the evening and they were very helpful at letting us know what was open to get a bite to eat. This is just the cutest place to stay. So clean and the rooms are themed.

Very good, but a couple issues

A great little retro motel in Raton NM, but the mattress in my room (#11) was saggy and soft, and the toilet and bathroom sink are very low to the ground, making them rather awkward to use.

5 star motel in my book

This is the place all other motels need to look up to! Our room was clean & comfortable, the owners are super friendly, and the whole vibe of the place just works. Although it’s older, things have been updated and maintained. We got some great dinner recommendations when we asked about that during check in. When we were leaving the next day we got some great travel/sightseeing recommendations. We stayed in the pin-up room, if you’re modest definitely choose a different room, although it didn’t bother us. This is THE best place we’ve stayed in many many years and will definitely stop in again if we ever travel through Raton.
