On the phone we explained we had our infant son with us, and they said they would give us the last room they had. We drove fifty miles through whiteout conditions to get here after closing, and the elderly owners not only waited for us, but had walked to the other end of the motel, through heavy snow, to turn the heat on in our room before we arrived. Truly decent people. The place isn't new, but it's clean, and more importantly to us, it was safe and warm. They gave us a room with three beds, because it was all they had left when we originally called. I know for sure they could have rented it out ten times over in the time it took us to drive there.

By brekkie time, 18APR2023, I had called ahead to owner/operator Rafael Chavez from SocorroNM-USA…read moreand committed myself to arriving at this exceptionally fine motel, though it was an 80mile/128kms (the first 10miles/16kms of which was all headwind) cycle journey, primarily Eastbound on US380. Fortunately, I had gauged the eBatteries correctly, along with taking several "nooners" (milspec) enroute, arriving an hour before Sunset. I was amazed at my good fortune; this was such a fine overnighter. Firm bed/fast hot water/excellent flat screen TV, microwave & mini-fridge/good in-room coffee maker/cleanliness throughout, and, in today's digital World, free WiFI. I was exceptionally impressed with multi-socket that provided every kind of hookup needed for my electrics, which I'd not seem before. Unfortunately, the ice maker was currently broken, but, as what was becoming a regularity in many overnighteries, I bought a bag of ice at the closeby Alsups, along with a few nutritious snacks and brekkie items.oils . Most important was the decent/restful night, which was critical for my anticipated not-so-long but very steep ascent (¿Would I have to walk, like I did a year ago, on the Blue Rmidge Parkway?) to Capitan the next day. This was such a fantastic motel! I highly recommend it any and all travellers who need a great overnight in this thriving community of CarrizozoNM-USA. it certainly has my coveted "iWheel of Approval!"

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!

Our Company needed a room for 4 days, Monday - Friday for our service tech and we had called the Thursday before to reserve. The motel stated we could not reserve the room until the day of or we would have to reserve the room that day, Thursday, though the stay required. As we needed a room for that following week and no others were available, we accepted and the rate of $67 was very reasonable. However, after paying for the room for 4 extra days, we needed to cancel the room for that following Thursday as the project was completed early. We left multiple phone calls stating at 6am to cancel with no response. We finally go ahold of them the next day and they stated they could do nothing as they did not rent the room. So, be careful...
