Mike and his family have turned this long-standing motel into a 5-star hotel. The upgrades to the room are amazing. The rest of Red River, NM is going to have to step up to beat this place!! It is conveniently located across from the Brewery and Der Markt. Pizza is next door. I can highly recommend.

This property was under going renovations when we stayed there. Our room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I did not care for was the paint fumes, it was a little too much for me but my husband didn't notice. We would definitely stay there again
