This is a wonderfully nostalgic place to stay. The manager was incredibly nice and the cleaning person was very helpful. I highly recommend this hotel.
Nasty bathroom and bedroom. No air conditioning the night we stayed at the Motel. The clerk was helpful providing 2 fans for the room so I was able to sleep a few hours before we departed at 7:00 am.

The room was clean, average amenities, friendly staff.
Frontier Inn was super-clean and roomy! Rosemary checked me in. She gave me an excellent recommendation for a dinner place and also shared her experiences from Chaco Canyon. Great people, great place!

The Motel's parking lot was in dire need of maintenance.
Inside the room was nice. Dated, but nice. We had a family suite with a kitchen and one queen bed and two twin beds. It also had a nice fenced back yard with a sign saying to clean up after your dog. Which I found confusing since no pets were allowed
The swamp cooler was not working and after some persuasion, someone came and fixed it
The swamp cooler was unable to keep the bedroom with the twin beds cool. My son was unable to sleep due to the heat.
I think switching out the swamp cooler with a window AC or two would solve this problem.
Really a nice little motel. Very clean. We rented a family room, used the kitchen and the back patio. Very pleasant.

Staff was very courteous and did a good job. The pilot light in the heater in the room had gone out as it had in several rooms and receptionist-the only staff on duty had to light them all and it took a while
This hotel surprised me. The exterior is very dated but the family room was spacious, it had a full kitchen and a private outdoor space. I would stay again.

Room was very clean and staff was very polite. Fans in room did not work.
It’s clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It’s not the newest property but nothing was damaged or missing. Nothing fancy, but certainly acceptable for spending the night. I’ve stayed in places claiming to be more than they are with mold in the bathrooms - didn’t see or smell any here.
This is a property from another era. The size and HVAC were not current standards but still great for what I wanted. It is a relatively safe location and I didn't notice the highway noise just outside. My only potential issue was the door locks/security framing were quite antiquated and I felt compelled to take my valuables with me. I stayed three days without any issues however.

You get what you pay for - there is a reason why it is low cost. Paper-thin walls so you could participate in the conversation in the next room. Friendly guy on front desk and comfortable bed. The adjoining restaurant closed at 6.30 pm on a Tuesday night but did a good takeaway.
