Your best choice for Raton!
Pros:

This is a great choice of staying in Raton NM. The location is easy. The rooms are very large. There were two luggage racks which I truly appreciated. There is a restaurant and bar which is open until 10 pm!

Cons:

There was nothing I did not like. It was a million times better than where we stayed last time.

Pros:

The staff was great, and the rooms were generously sized. The rooms were clean and furnished with a table and chairs, refrigerator and a microwave.

Cons:

The bed was not comfortable, and the towels smelled. Replacing the stained old toilet seats would be a good investment. Breakfast ...I appreciate the effort, but it's mostly carbs.The grounds- parking lot, planters.... need repair

The room smelled bad. We opened the windows & door as long as we could before bed so it would be tolerable to sleep

I like this motel best in Raton.
Pros:

It was Very clean. I love the dog area, great for my little dog’s needs. Staff was great. Very easy to get to and parking was great.

Cons:

Air conditioner wasn’t very efficient. You could see light under door, so I would assume that was where the air conditioning went.
