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.

Nice remodel and great location!

Nicely remodeled and comfortable. They need new photos on hotels.com to show how nice it looks after the renovation! I was shocked as it was much nicer than what I thought I’d be getting. Pleasant surprise. Also it’s smack dab in the center of town, so it’s close to everything!
