Very good

Greeted by front desk staff on arrival. Complimentary water (two bottles) at check in. Room was clean and fresh smelling. Rated three stars for amenities due to lack of hair dryer (which is why I always travel with one, just in case), and no pool (which I knew going in. Otherwise, this was a nice small hotel.
I notified management that I’d arrive really late, and there wasn’t any issues. Great customer service, and the rooms were really clean! The room was even nice and cool after being out in the heat. Probably my new place to stay whenever I have to stop at Tucumcari while on long road trips.
Older motel, we were passing through from the Grand Canyon. It was relatively clean, I killed a water bug when we arrived. It kinda had me second guessing my choice but I decided to take my chances. I didn’t regret it. Quiet and inexpensive.
This is a old Motor Motel from the 50's, so no one above you and parking is right outside the room. Basic, clean and comfortable for those just passing through.
We just needed a hotel while traveling across country and it had a mid century vibe on the outside but had been updated with new carpet and hard floor in bathroom. It was the right price for our needs.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The bed was surprisingly comfortable, but it needs a new foundation or box spring. Every time I rolled over, I woke my husband. The desk in the room was large and comfortable, and I was able to get some work done. The room needs a second chair. My husband kept taking the desk chair for a place to sit when I needed it to work on my computer.
Live roaches in room. Mouse? hole in baseboard. I think the issue is that they had monthly renters and/or workers staying permanently in the room next door = food = roaches.
Room was complete filth. Microwave had to be cleaned before it could even be used. Light switches and electrical outlets were caked in dirt. These are clearly not hotels for travelers, rather semi-permanent residents. Lawn chairs, yard equipment, coolers out side of the doors in the walkway. Looks like transient housing. Looking at the rest of the town though, heavily boarded up, graphitti, abandoned buildings in demise, this may be one of the better motels.
