A typical 1950's motel but updated and well maintained. Nice and clean. Park right outside your room! Convenient location with many dining options nearby. Breakfast was a nice variety of cold items (fruit, yogurt, muffins, and cereal. They have saucer sleds you can borrow to slide at White Sands National Park.

A classic mid-20th-century retro hotel with vintage neon signage. Maintained and immaculate. Don’t pass this gem up! Breakfast is conservative with cereals and various bread selections.

This is the cutest little vintage retro motel near White Sands National Park. The rooms are clean and they have a nice continental breakfast. We want a more authentic experience rather than staying at a chain hotel and this one is a great fit!
