The place is a dump.
Greg, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Depressing, dreary, dingy old-style motel. On the plus side, it has new sink and toilet. Apparently, nothing better in the poor little town of Chama.
Larry, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

They just need to let customers know that check-in is at 4 rather than 3 as it says on their web site.
Leslie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean. But lightbulb burnt out over bathroom sink, no blow dryer, guests smoking pot right outside of room two doors down.
Kelly, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This is an older motel, but it is kept up well. We posted a sign to have maid service after the first night, but it was not done. As expensive as the rates are for this motel, you can find better choices in the area.
Joe, 2-night trip
