My only wish is for an elevator, as we were on the second floor and had heavy bags. Maybe there is one but we couldn't find it. Breakfast was fine - my only suggestion is to provide skim milk as an option - a lot of people can't drink whole or 2%. Check out was super easy and we were on the road in no time.

There were good options for pillows, both firm and soft. We were given an end unit and it was quiet, which was very important because we brought our dog. He alerts when he hears things.

The breakfast area was clean and the decor was nice.

This place is a hidden gem…read more We got caught in a snow storm on the way to Denver from San Diego. We'd spent the night in Albuquerque, and this was the last leg of the journey to Denver. But then we got into almost zero visibility on the i25 North, and even my Denver friend who was driving the Uhaul said it was too much. Since I was driving a tiny VW Golf and from sunny San Diego, I was all for stopping for an unscheduled night. But I had my dog with me! We got off the freeway (barely), turned around, and headed 15 miles south to where there were a couple of motels. I had called a different one originally, and I don't want to waste time discussing that one other than to say it may have been the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." We had driven past The Broken Arrow Motel on the way to see that Norman Bates fiasco, so I said let's just go back there. I ran inside and the nice man said yes, they accepted dogs in certain rooms, and he had two rooms available--one of which I could have my dog in. Hurray! The rooms all face the parking lot, like the old school motel ("motor hotel" is where the word comes from I believe). The rooms were clean and fresh. These are not luxurious digs, but no one should be expecting luxury in Springer, NM. The whole place is rustic; these are modest accommodations, but someone has taken GREAT CARE with the little touches: Folgers coffee, coffee maker, and creams/sugars in each room. A fridge. Little toiletries with the washcloth folded into the design of a fan next to the sink. A radiator that was great for hanging your socks on so that your feet were toasty, but also a wall heater that kept the room cozy and warm. There was a nice big heavy mug to have coffee in, plus extra paper cups and plastic cups. My friend had a bottle of Scotch and the proprietor gave him a bag of ice; we made Irish coffee and watched the snow storm. It was my black Lab's first snow and he loved it! The whole town seems lacking in cell service, and until I figured out the motel had wifi, I was standing in the street with my new iPhone software showing me where to point my phone to catch the satellite to send messages alerting of our delay (literally a video of a satellite in the sky with a beam coming down, a dot representing me, and arrows showing me which way to turn to catch the satellite signal! Who knew?) Then I realized there were directions on how to connect to wifi in the room. Duh. The wifi was a bit spotty, but honestly it added to the rustic feeling and it was all just a big adventure. It's relaxing to be a bit disconnected. It was great having the car right in front of the room, because on these long trips you're forever forgetting something in the car, and you can just run out in your PJs instead of having to walk down halls and down elevators. The restaurant across the street had delicious food. Gas station two doors down with snacks and gas for the continuation of your trip. If you are on a long trip and planning stops, or even decide you need to stop for the night for whatever reason, please visit this quaint motel. By the way when I first called there was no answer; I think, again, there is a cell service issue in the town. Don't let that stop you! Just show up. I so badly wish we'd stayed there instead of the Marriott in Albuquerque!

Everything was clean, the bed comfortable. My friend and I were afraid we would be awake all night, being in an unfamiliar bed, but we slept well. The entire place didn't break from the Victorian ambiance. I was really impressed because the inn was recently sold, and they are in the process of switching over from the previous owner to the new one. Everything went smoothly.

Hotel was clean, employees were nice, rooms were clean AND nice. What's more to say? The main things in a room are always shower pressure, airflow/AC/heat and tidiness. And look at that! All three here excelled! The restaurant downstairs was also a great place to order food to go and go back into the room to hibernate awhile and watch some trash tv. I will say though, the area around is pretty meh to walk around in. Great food choices for a small area, but I probably wouldn't walk around by myself if I were staying here alone. Great place to stay and highly recommend you to splurge a bit and stay here.
