Hello, We had stayed in a couple of other hotels recently that were "questionable" so when we got to the Desert Inn in Tucumcari New Mexico - it was a relief! However, the one thing the "questionable" places had that this one did not were fridges and coffee makers in the rooms. The rooms are a little more "spartan" and... More

Good customer service,best stay since we left Washington state. Go here first you will not regret it after a long trip. I was welcomed right when passing through the door. The manager on duty told me of new ownership and all the new renovations

After reading some of the reviews I am thinking there is new management since they were written. We did not read any Reviews before we stayed or we would not have. We found the motel to be quite clean and updated. The room is not plush, but certainly adequate for the rate. The TV is very nice and the beds... More

This place wasn't bad for the money, the front desk person wasn't real friendly, but after being on the road for 15 hours, it was worth the stay. The rooms were okay, the beds were clean and comfortable, and they were less than some of the other places we checked around at. The continental breakfast wasn't bad, they had all... More

This is a small, locally-owned hotel along the old Route 66. Amidst Tucumcari's 34 hotels, you might not notice this one, but it's obviously been recently renovated: it's got an attractive exterior, clean, fresh, newly-painted rooms with new mattresses (the owner told me that), a genuine hot breakfast in the morning, and free domestic long-distance phone calls. The price of... More

I was driving my elderly friend from Phoenix Az to Missouri to be with her son as her husband had passed away. What a mistake! The first room was filthy! I'm not sure what was on the bathroom wall and I don't want to know. Rust on the door frame and on the window seat it appeared someone or something... More

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.

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!
