A great sign to see after a full day if cycling!
John E.

This was a critical overnight for me as I continued to figure out the limits of my newly-installed HUGE & heavy 48V60A eBattery (which replaced three smaller/lighter 48V20A batteries) and could plug in to recharge. I had called (575.894.9769) this fine motel, located on the Southern end of T or C, earlier, from Las CrucesNM [~80miles/128JAN South on NM187 and NM185], where I overnighted/recharged. Anyway, I had told the owner that my anticipated arrival time would be about (18:00); upon arrival, the office was closed with "no vacancy" posted on the door. Not horrified, I called the owner again, who seemed impressed that I was there as projected. She contacted her manager, Nancy, to come around and check me in. Nancy was superb, as was the room--adequately large enough for a firm Queen size bed, tucking my eBikeKit-assisted CruzBike into a corner close to an outlet (plugging in the eBattery), crank up the a/c, and a full-size 'fridge! My only disappointment was no ice machine availability, but that was easily remedied with a short Gimpwalk to the adjacent C-store to buy a bag of ice--which easily fit inside the freezer compartment of the aforementioned 'fridge. In fact, I was more in need of electrolytes, carefully scrutinized the labels of various beverages for something NOT full of sugar. Unfortunately, after finding a can with 0 sugars, I read no farther. Had I done so, I wouldn't have bought it because it had excessive amounts of other ingredients (namely caffeine)--not my pm drink! But, I had had a rather enervating cycle that day and I needed to get more than just that most essential fluid (clean freshwater) into my body. Soon, I bought a quart of chocolate milk--hang the excessive amount of sugar--as a nightcap to this exhausting day of eBikeKit-assisted cycling on my fantastic CruzBike (model S40). Along with other microwaveable food, I was ready to rest--NOT! The energy drink didn't allow any real rest, but at least I had Extremely decent quarters, a lovely bathroom (the door of which I kept closed--no point in trying to air condition that space too), and quiet darkness. It was truly excellent, and definitely has my coveted "!Wheel of Approval!"

This is a mom and pop, vintage motel. If you're expecting a resort you're in the wrong place. If you want somewhere decent to stay overnight that's cheap and not a boring chain, this is your place. The rooms are slightly dated but clean and with newer fridges and microwaves. The outside decor is quirky and charming. There's a gas station across the street with a convenience store and restaurants a short drive up the street. Hosts were charming and upgraded me to a king room for free (and they speak perfect English, for that embarrassing xenophobe who stated otherwise in a different review. I'm a language teacher. Given my first-hand experience with the staff here, I'd have to guess maybe HE doesn't speak English.) As long as you have reasonable expectations for a vintage motel, this is an excellent place to stay overnight on a road trip.

I love this place!!! They had lactaid milk! My daughter was so so happy she could have cereal! Great room! Great price! Great restaurant recommendations! love love love this place will absolutely come back!

Outside the room

This is a quaint older Motel, with decent repair and newer Decore added in. There is a new TV refrigerator and microwave, nice Southwest decore inside and outside the room. Good care has been made to make this place a nice stay. It's not fancy, but it is clean and safe place to stay. I would highly recommend stopping here if you like places off the beaten path that are nice and unique! Good price, comfortable bed, and clean. Southwest classic location.

See all

A very quaint NM hotel. Modest interior, quiet, reasonably clean and priced. Gas station across the street has snacks. Worth a visit.

Riverbend Hot Springs - View from one of the stone tubs alone the Rio Grande

Riverbend Hot Springs

We soaked here several times while in town visiting the area. The private tubs are a great oasis…read morethat evoke a sense of serenity and calm relaxation. We did not use the common pool area but did soak in three of the different private spaces over four visits. Each was very nice. There are two different styles of private pools here, the classics which run hotter and are a little shallower than the newer pools which they call their deluxe pools. The deluxe pools are to the left and classics to the right. The entire area is a whisper zone, so quiet and tranquil is the feel and vibe here. A guide meets you at the gazebo outside the gated area a few minutes before your session starts to check you in, let you in and point you in the right direction. All private soaking areas are named and numbered on their door front. The soaking areas are very clean, private and nicely appointed with a pair of loungers, a table of some sorts, overhead cool misters, a cold water bucket shower overhead on each pool, towel and clothes hooks and a wall clock to keep you on time, and intercom with the office. Went both during the day and the end at sunset, each offers its own experience. It seems to be quieter during the early hours, than the evening. Sessions are 50 minutes and they are prompt to get you in on time so you can enjoy your full time soaking. About five minutes before your session ends they notify you over the intercom that your time is ending so you do not run over time and allow them time to prep the space for the next people soaking. Definitely worth your time. 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the kind staff and unique spot on the river. 01322

I have been to Riverbend Hot Springs 3 times, each time was belter than the last…read more This past December we were in the area so we made the journey to TorC for the Hot Springs. I had made the reservations about 3 weeks before. As with the last time I booked, I was very surprised that it wastn closer to sold out already. We have been to a few different hot springs some have been pretty cool, literally. The last one was outside Fairbanks Alaska in the winter. But one thing that is common at these spots is that they are communal pools. There tends to be a creeper now and then. But Riverbend has private pools, facing the Rio Grande. So this time I made note of the temps of each individual pool on the website, and got us the hottest one. It was perfect. It really does have pools that drop off right into the Rio. It was close to dusk and the river was flowing past the long shadows in front of us. The hour of relaxation flew by. It is the best we have been to. I am sorta happy that they arent so known as to be overbooked. Because we will be back again next time we are in the area.

What can I not rave about when it comes to this absolute jewel of a lodge (inn) nestled in the…read moreheart of downtown "historic" (hey, it's over 50ish) TorC. We stayed for one blissful evening which felt at least one night too short. The property is rustic lodgy chic with a an earthy but posh vibe. Yeah, that feels a bit contradictory but it's truly not. The staff... warm, welcoming and gold standard. And that's 24 karat, not 14. Matthew has such a lovely smile, you feel immediately at home. From checkin to checkout everyone we encountered was aces. The room... very comfortable, loved the wooden furniture and the bed was heavenly. The 30 minute mineral soak (included) ... wow. Within minutes it provided a soothing calm and a hard reboot on stress levels so do NOT skip it! Breakfast the next morning is stated as continental but it felt far from that with the breakfast burrito bar, fresh baked goods, fruit, oats along with a menu of available unique espresso drinks. Stephen/Khrys took great care of us and the rest of the breakfast crowd. Sierra Grande is right off the main little downtown drag that has lots of little galleries and shops... and a nice local brewery. If you ever find yourself in or around this area THIS is the spot to treat yourself to a stay.
