Order 50’s era motel that brought back memories of traveling with my parents in the fifties. Love to support locally owned businesses rather than national chains. Would definitely stay again!

We love everything about this hotel. The rooms are clean, comfortable and each one has a different theme. The couple who own and run this property are so kind they treat you like they've known you forever and you'll love the message on the marquis. We will always stay here.

Loved our stay! This motel is very very special. Friendly owners greeted us, easy to check in and out, lovely breakfast snacks and coffee/tea. The room was very clean, with nice memory mattress, great water pressure in the shower. A truly great value for a unique experience. We will stay here again for sure!

The Raton Pass Motor Inn was unique in that each room was decorated with memorabilia from the 1950's and 60's. It was a lot of fun and the owners were great. I would definitely stay there again.

We cannot say enough kind things about this husband & wife team who own this. The room we stayed in was so stinking cute. Each room is themed. Ours was the “pin up”. Let your imagination. Very family friendly and so clean. The bathroom was so clean! Will go out of our way to stay again if going back home the same way.

I love this place, and go out of my way some to stop in Raton so I can sleep here. Every room is set up with cool old decorations around a specific theme. The owners are fantastic. Last time there they bent over backwards trying to help my buddy track down his lost wallet. It’s also easy walking distance to downtown, and while there’s not a whole lot going on in Raton it does have its charms.
