Coffee on the porch watching the hummingbirds argue was the best part of the trip. Only drawback is the street that is the driveway. It's a city street so Linda can't improve it. It is very steep with loose gravel. Our front wheel drive car just couldn't get up the hill. Not that big a deal, parking on Burro Street is paved and close. Just a short walk to the main strip, but we never heard any noise. We will definitely be back.

The mortar all around the bathroom was cracking, and had been sloppily filled with caulk. There was mold and dirt scuff marks along the baseboards. The carpet was worn down, and the road noise from outside was extremely loud. If I had paid 50 bucks a night for this place, I'd say it was more worth it.

I had been wanting to overnight here for a very long time indeed, and it certainly met my…read moreexpectations. Now reTIRED since 31DEC2017 after 28 years in the classrooms for World-class Ysleta ISD, I was living out my dream of biketouring/travelling, both close and far. I was on the downhill side (though I still had a few very steep uphills, one specifically South from AngusNM after crossing the Rio Bonito, which I had to Gimpwalk up--until super Shane from AmarilloTX gave me/my "FrankenBike" a lift to Napa Auto Parts in Ruidiso!) of my long delayed "¡Sixth Annual First Quarter Odyssey: Central NM!" I had planned overnighting in Capitan with ample time to explore the area, particularly for the most notable characteristic: this was the birthplace and death site of one of the most famous mammals on Earth: Smokey the Bear. Naturally, I had to stay in this namesake motel, eat at the adjacent namesake restaurant and, a block East, visit the burial site/park/museum/movie room/gift shop along with paying a slight fee for enthusiastic staffing & maintenance. The motel itself is quite decent, especially because I easily maneuvered my "FrankenBike" inside to plug in the eBattery rechargers. My "aged out" body/atrophied quads do require extra help cycling uphill/into the wind, and the combination of fantastic CruzBike (S40/T50E) with eBikeKit.com heavy-duty 48V direct drive eSystem means I'll be able to sustain my 40+year biketouring addiction! Anyway, the ice machine was not working (I regularly overnight in "budget" motels because there is no way a second-floor or basement room is doable for me.), which meant a 3-block Gimpwalk East to Smokey's Country Market. Actually, it worked out just fine--Smokey's historical park was right on the way. The market was everything I could've asked for: a good selection of foodstuffs for any person's needs, and the selection of microwaveable was plentiful. Ironically, with the eatery adjacent to the motel, I only bought "snacks" to eat in front of the flat-screen television and an 8-pound bag of chipped ice. I found this motel extremely satisfying; it certainly has my coveted "¡Wheel of Approval!" In fact, the next morning, besides the delicious brekkie at the eatery, I also was interviewed by a widely z-followed YouTube star, rusty78609, who taught me the importance of being direct in my rapport (which, I am definitely NOT!) should I ever gain a following. Also significant is that my "ageing out" excuse seems feeble--Rusty is a survivalist/in-country Veteran/a decade older than me (I'm 66) and he us doing quite well!

I asked could I see one of the rooms since online the pictures were great and they have kept the original look and feel. the manager said he had step better than a standard room. He handed me a key to look at the Governors suite (see video). I returned the next day after hiking to have lunch and peruse the gift shop. Prices are a little higher, however the food is pretty amazing. I split a burger and chips. Food is great in the bar area. Dinning opens in evening but requires reservations. Pets are allowed for Small fee There is a golf course across the parking lot. Majestic views and well kept greens. don't be surprised but if you find yourself golfing around the deer, elk or wild horses.

While at the Lodge check out Cloudcroft museum to take in all the history that included the Lodge, baby sanatorium and 1st Calvary visits, where it all started this beautifully small town.

We settled into the room just fine, it was spacious and seemed pretty clean. Aside from the window curtains needing a wash, I didn't really see anything that stood out to me as being that dirty. I checked the beds and they were both fine. The pillows could be a bit better, they were pretty flat and didn't offer much support. The "pull out" sofa sucked, it was quite hard and it was confusing trying to figure out how it folded out as it isn't your typical fold out sleeping sofa. You had to take all of the cushions and pillows off then grab two little handle things to flip the top half of the sofa onto the ground to open up the "bed" which is basically just a support box like you would put under a mattress. I also wish they had a slightly bigger trash can in the room, we have booked a suite for two nights with six guests in it and there was only one small can in the kitchenette and one small can in the bathroom. Breakfast was as you'd expect at a hotel. There wasn't a ton of seating so we ended up taking it back to our room.
