Place was empty but they were out of the cheap advertised rooms. Instead they wanted 69.95 for one person! It's not that great of hotel and they have now lost a good client. Microtel kept much better care of the hotel and had better service. It's to bad as its in a good location. More

Ronnie the desk clerk is far beyond the worst service ever and has no skills to handle any complaints, his solution, "I'll call the cops on you" and after he is rude to the customer! Filthy sheets, pubic hair on sheets-and I have pictures to prove it! I was also told a price of $55 and was charged $65 and... More

Wish I would have checked the reviews first.... It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm writing this because I can't sleep even though i am exhausted from driving from 7 am to 10pm yesterday. I feel like i am getting bitten in the sheets, the room is disgusting and smells like something dead is in here, the shower had pubes... More

We were traveling back home from a family reunion in Albuquerque and decided to pull into the DESERT INN in Tucumcari, NM for the night., Worse mistake of my life! We rented 2 rooms, one for my husband and myself and then one for my mother & mother-in law. After only being there for less than 2 hours I noticed... More

Due to dripping faucet in bathtub which couldn't be turned off and truck motor running in truck stop parking lot across street, I got very little sleep after 1a.m. The desk clerk attitude was rude. The place had peeling wallpaper and cracked and chipped fixtures and moldings. The walls are thin so noises carry! The best that can be said... More

I found deas bugs in the corners, stained pillowcases and sheets (if you want to see something really nasty then remove your pillowcases and check out the hundreds of drool and sweat stains on them), the sink was falling off of the wall, the hand towels had mascara and yellowish stains all over them.... Hopefully this will keep you from... More

We were traveling cross country and needed a night of rest. We asked for a king room and got a single. Asked for upgrade and they didn't have king rooms so we got 2 queen beds. The only good thing was the bed was not uncomfortable but the bad things totally out-wayed the good. The room smelled terrible, the sheets... More

Prepaid via Orbitz more than a month in advance. When I approached the desk clerk, he indicated that I'd have to pay. I ... initially thought that I had online and informed him of that, but he stood his ground arguing that if I booked with Orbitz, I certainly did not pay in advance. OK, so I paid. The stairs...

This was a disappointing stop on my cross-country road trip. Having stayed at two other Microtels the previous few nights, I was just expecting better. The hotel seemed old and shabby, and the linens were not completely clean. The hallways smelled bad. Breakfast was even worse than typical budget hotel continental breakfasts. There seemed to be only one girl working... More
