Thank our lucky stars that we found Celeste on the Internet! My husband and I decided to get…read moremarried in T or C on a whim, and Celeste helped make it happen in a week. We couldn't have wished for anyone better, and the words she spoke touched us to our core. She is the genuine article and truly has a gift for performing wedding ceremonies. Although we only communicated by email prior to the event, her warmth flowed through from the very beginning. She gave us helpful suggestions on obtaining our marriage license and locations and provided witnesses and a photo CD. We were traveling from Hawaii and had never visited New Mexico before, but she really helped to alleviate any anxiety we had about the ceremony. All we can say is that if we ever decide to renew our vows, we would definitely love to have her officiate for us again.

Celest was a huge help the entire time, were from out of town and she basically planned the whole…read morewedding. If it werent for her help we probably would have gotten married in a vacant lot instead of the beautiful location she helped us pick out. I would highly recommend her to anybody in New Mexico

Everything that others have said regarding the welcoming nature of the owner, the adequacy of the…read morerooms, the beauty of the surroundings, etc. is true, but I do think it's fair for people to know that the lodge has a major ant problem and that because they are only using non-poisonous ant-banishing methods, you will be sharing your breakfast area with ants in the morning if you stay there in the winter. Any food or water brought into guest rooms will end up crawling with ants. We even had ants in our beds, which was odd. Other than that, our stay was fine.

We stayed here and had a great time! The property is clean and well run and is a great venue. Note,…read morethere is no cell service, but they have wi-fi. Breakfast was great, our room was comfortable. We intend to return for a longer stay.

Property staff is accommodating, and gave me my choice of rooms. Nice guy. He also owns the local gym, so he offered me to work out for free during my stay. Rooms are superclean, and really thats all I wanted, a good nights stay in a clean and safe room. All great to me!

It's easy to bypass this little inn for some of the bigger names in TorC. But that would be a big…read moremistake. Not only does the Desert View Inn have ridiculously good prices, it also has the nicest proprietor in town - Hans! Hans is also president of the Chamber of Commerce and he knows customer service!

Amenities include free WiFi, coffee maker, fridge, microwave, flat screen TV with satellite, and bath products.

MUST READ‼‼ I came to this place after 0130 in morning after…read moredriving 11 hours. I was exhausted and just wanted to shower and sleep. I get there and ring the doorbell. Out comes a old lady in a robe. Very strange lady at that. She checks me into the room and I pay my 58 bucks. I walk in and I immediately feel dirty, but it wasn't horrible when not looking close up. I get all of my belongings and food from my truck and take a shower. Huge pubic hair on wall. Gross but whatever. They had an outlet in bathroom that they tried to cover with what looked like putty so people wouldn't use it. Huge safety hazard. Whatever..... I'm tired. Shower was not too bad minus the gross hair. As I pull the blankets down I see several small roaches scatter. I couldn't believe it. This was only pulling comforter down. The sheets were still pulled up. I had to do it people, I pulled the sheets down and boom! I took pictures as you will see. I called the office. Old lady comes in and demands I show her where the roaches are. Of course they ran away, but I had the pictures! I show her and she says that that is not the hotels comforter!!!! Really? It matches my picture wth?!?! So then I show her the blood spots and dead bugs smashed in the sheets. She had nothing to say so she just walks out of the room and went back into the office. By now it is after 0230 in morning. As she walked out of the room she stated exactly this " You did what you wanted here and now you want to leave because you just wanted to shower." I'm left there standing like what do I do now? I pack my stuff up and load my truck. I go to office and ring bell..... then I ring bell again..... really? Oh wait, here she comes and she has her old man with her!!!! She opens the door and the husband lays into me. He yells " I don't know what kind of games your playing little girl but you need to leave now" he then states I planted the roaches in the bed all for a free shower at 0130 in the morning! I'm traveling from Colorado to Mississippi as travel nurse. I tell this to these two crazy people. They called me mean, they told me get out, I'm a liar, blah blah. Needless to say, I finally got my refund when they knew they weren't going to push me around. It was horrible. I ended up sleeping in my car at a rest stop. Put myself in danger. What a joke. Please stay away, especially those with kids. It's disgusting. I'll post if I don't end up with my refund.
