“This roadside motel proposes an appealing value near White Sands National Park. I found the included breakfast, prepared fresh from the menu at the on-site Classic Cafe, to be a standout perk, along with the gift shop supporting local artists. While some aspects show their age, ongoing remodeling efforts suggest a commitment to updates, ensuring continued appeal for budget-conscious travelers.”
