    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!

    Horrible. we got a nasty handicap room that had a dirty towel ion the floor at the door and no…read morefurniture in the room except a bed. This place used to be nice and clean and pet friendly With a nice owner. A year ago it seemed it went downhill. The rooms were not clean and the owners were different and nasty. They own the low life oasis as well. If you have pets don't stay- they give you a handicap room with no furniture- not even a chair in it. Stay at springer station. Much nicer cleaner and friendly

    Stopped for lunch on a road trip, but did not stay at the hotel. Ate in this historic saloon area,…read morecomplete with bullet holes in the ceiling from the hotel's wild west days. It was fun to wander around and look at the old photos and artifacts, plus the downstairs hallway with rooms named for some famous guests who stayed at this old adobe hotel during its wild heyday. Food was pretty good. Had a salad and added a chili relleno for $5. It was very well prepared, although the salad of mostly spring mix, a few cucumbers and tomatoes was not worth $14. Partner had a steak--said it was ok. "Seasonal vegetables" were just plain kernal corn. Giving this place three stars for food, but the historic charm is the real reason to give it a try. The restaurant was only open Thursday through Saturday in February, so check hours if you want to eat. You can also just stop by and take a look in the lobby and parts of the hotel. The staff doesn't mind.

    A small piece of history, as soon as you walk in it is like stepping back in time. You can wander…read morethe first floor. There is lots of information and photographs documening the past. Some of the rooms e.g Jesse James room are open to view from behind a velvet rope. There is a faint odor of Mary Lambert's perfume wafting through the hall way. There is a restaurant with a bar, bullett holes still on the ceiling. 27 people were killed in this hotel in days gone by and anyone that was anyone from the Wild West visited here. A must for fans of the West, manage your expectations and you won't be disappointed.
