What guests think

The location is convenient for road trips right off the highway, but the small town has limited dining and some guests mention traffic or train noise. Rooms are generally comfortable and some are updated or spacious, though decor and fixtures can feel dated and a few maintenance issues crop up. Cleanliness earns frequent praise, with occasional reports of musty odors, ants, or missed housekeeping. It suits travelers seeking a straightforward overnight stop on a long drive.

Facilities

Older, motel-style layout with exterior corridors; the pool is often closed or in long-term disrepair. Guests appreciate the pet area and trailer parking, though parking can be tight or remote for larger vehicles, and there is no elevator.

It was a comfortable stay but they advertise a pool and it has been broken a long time based on its appearance. Very nice breakfast.

I booked this property for the pool. The photo that represents this hotel is even just a pic of their pool. When we arrived, the pool was closed, covered, and dirty. It appeared to have not been opened for the season. There are cheaper options locally that would likely be just as good if not better than this option. They should state if the pool is closed or if they no longer offer that.

Property was okay. Cost of room was a little steep for what you get. Room was clean, but bed sagged a bit in the middle. Pool was closed and drained in the middle of July with no explanation as to why. Property looked a bit run down, but was fine for the purpose of a place to sleep between destinations. Breakfast was very good.

Parking is at a premium. If you have a trailer or oversized vehicle you either pay $25 for each additional spot you take, or park on the far south side of the property in a remote parking lot. It is well lite but extremely isolated from the motel.

Breakfast was the best on the trip. Motel is clean and convenient. Only downside is the pool is out of service. Sign says they have no idea when the pool will be available again.

The staff was courteous and helpful. The breakfast was great. We were very disappointed the pool cover was on and the pool had not opened by July 4 weekend. This was not communicated ahead and we were looking forward to swimming with family, having several rooms rented to enjoy the pool together during a family reunion.

We stopped overnight on our way from Dallas to Denver. These folks are doing everything right. The room is very spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated with the culture of the area. You can park right outside your door. they are pet friendly, they have solid wifi, and the breakfast and service is superb. Clayton is a sleepy little New Mexico town on the main highway. There is a Love's travel stop right across the street. We left recharged and ready for the remainder of our trip. If you need a stopover please give these folks your business; you will have good accommodations here.

Not a single channel on the TV worked due to “inclement weather” while the radar was completely clear with no weather. ‼️We were woken up by continuous knocks at 9am from housekeeping and then at 10am, an entire hour before check out, our door was unlocked and opened without a single knock or warning and a staff member walked in on me and my boyfriend fully naked in bed. ‼️Extremely disappointed with this uncomfortable stay

Clerk was terrible. No elevators, clerk put us on top floor even after I requested ground floor so we old folks would not have to tote luggage upstairs. A/C unit is not working in Room 225. I believe they already knew that by maintenance reaction. Rude clerk that has difficulty answering the phone, moved us to another upstairs room on other side of facility. Toilets extremely low to floor. Total failure

It was a perfectly comfortable hotel. The television in the room had a screen that was not clear, but I did not need it. Be aware, there is train noise at night. The breakfast was acceptable, standard morning fare. I would say, based on the price I paid, expensive for the quality.

Parking is limited. Pool was closed, and apparently had been for an extended period of time as it was deep green and had trash floating in it. They had ashtrays placed right outside the rooms, where the A/C brought in the smell. There's only so much neglected maintenance you can cover with a fresh coat of paint.

We showed up and when we got to the room the floor was squishy and wet, the bedding was also damp and the room smelled awful like a wet dog. It appeared that the room (116) had a humidity/AC issue amongst other things. The front desk clerk was kind and gave us a refund to leave and find a new hotel. I would never stay at this hotel again.

We are older adults and carting suitcases, c-pap machines, water jugs and whatever up steep stairs is not easy. I booked through hotels.com n didn’t realize the motel didn't have an elevator. The bathroom floor was not clean. We had a hard time finding the motel (at night) because the sign is small and the directions on google are wrong.
