8.8
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming and helpful (receptionist, on-site employee, owner), so service is a clear strong point.
Location
8.2
Convenient for travelers and close to attractions; set back from the road so generally quiet. Some mentions of nearby train/highway noise but not usually disruptive.
Room Quality
8
Rooms are renovated, spacious and comfortable in many reports. A few guests noted AC units were noisy or not strong enough, which reduces the score slightly.
Amenities
6.5
Pool and ice machine available; however breakfast service is suspended for remodeling, TV channel selection limited, and ongoing construction affects some amenities.
Value for Money
9.2
Several guests explicitly call this a great value or praise the low rate relative to quality—strong value perception.
Food and Beverage

Breakfast is minimal when offered and was frequently unavailable due to remodeling, so food/beverage is notably weak.
Overall Experience

Diamond in the rough.
Pros:

Friendly staff and clean rooms

Cons:

The only thing I can say is there's some construction going on but that will only improve the general operation and appearance of this wonderful place.

Spacious and quiet room with all the conveniences.
Pros:

Conveniently located between San Diego and Chiricahua National Monument. Very kind hostess and a spacious and quiet room away from the highway.

Cons:

The airco unit wasn’t strong enough to cool the whole room (admittedly it was 119 degrees outside).

This is a great value for the price; it is immaculate and comfortable.
Pros:

The location is easy for travelers, and the receptionist is friendly and welcoming. The rooms are always immaculate and comfortable, and the air conditioner works well. While there is no closet, the space for hanging clothes is adequate. The office is currently being remodeled, so breakfast was not available.

Cons:

This is just a basic hotel, and my expectations were met. Breakfast is a nice option, but the remodeling meant it was not available. However, even when breakfast was served in the past it was minimal, but considering the price of the rooms, it was adequate in terms of value.

Nothing really.

Other than the weather and TV it was a 10
Pros:

It was definitely a bright spot in a depressed town full of rundown and abandoned motels and businesses.

Cons:

the weather was horrible a blowing sandstorm came through followed by rain, thunder and lightning so I never got to relax in the pool. One other item was the TV offered very few choices

Great value, clean rooms!
Pros:

The rooms were super clean! Check in was really nice even with all the construction :) And it was super quiet - its set back on the road, so the road noise isn't bad at all. The rate was really great and the employee on site was so nice.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Ein typisch amerikanisches Motel. Es wird renoviert, davon war aber nichts zu hören. Unser Zimmer war bereits neu renoviert. Der Zugverkehr ist wirklich deutlich zu hören, in der Nacht allerdings fahren weniger Züge, es war also nicht störend.
Eismaschine und Pool waren geöffnet. Frühstück gibt es derzeit nicht wegen dem Umbau.
