This appears to be an old motel from outside appearance but do not let that fool you. Parking lot needs attention but with all the snow year in and year out it shows its age. Outside building appears to be freshly painted. Rooms are very large and in excellent condition. Nice and clean with comfortable mattresses and fluffy thick new... More

For the money this is the place to stay in Raton. Our room in the luxury wing was large, clean and met all of our expectations. It's location was close to the interstate and central to other highlights if the area. We will be back.

We stayed here one night on our way up to Colorado. The rooms and furniture are older but very comfortable. My husband carries around a blacklight when we travel to check for stains in hotels and the bed checked out to perfection! =) Thomas at the front desk was very courteous and helpful, both over the phone and in person....

absolutely horrible. no words to really describe it, but i'll try. We arrived late1:00a.m. after driving 10 hours, we were so exhausted. I had made reservations via room77.com (2 king beds) with tax $87.00 and we have never stayed at this brand of hotel before. We are not usually picky as long as its a good bed. Signed in and... More

Very friendly check-in, correct reservation. This hotel is old and is in need of remodeling, but it is fairly clean. The bed was a bit more firm than I liked, but sheets were clean. The bathroom was fine. The only thing I was a bit concerned about is the carpet in the room. It was quite dirty and warn, so... More

We were staying a few days in Raton, New Mexico and after having stopped off at a motel that was inexpensive but dingy and at the Best Western where rates started at $139 we went across the street to the Sands. The rate was $67. The room was big with 2 queen beds. It was clean and there was a... More

Stayed here for two nights in June 2012. We had travelled down from Denver, to go to Capulin Volcano. Checked in O.K. Nice lady on the reception. Booked a two queen deluxe room, on the value club, easy to join, and you get the discount on the room, a good money saving tip we used. The room itself was big,... More

This facility was our second choice because they do allow pets. They do not however mention online that they charge $20 extra for the pet and that the room is a room that other pets have been in. The room was clean except that on one wall you could see where someone had spilled what appeared to be coffee,also you... More

We were very pleased with the facility.The breakfast room and breakfast were great.My only suggestion would be that management clean the carpet in the hallway in the Luxury wing.It gives a false impression of what may lie ahead.Our room was very clean and spacious.
