Guests have reported that the motel has decent room amenities, although some rooms could benefit from deeper cleaning. The management is praised for their excellent service and efforts to keep the area safe. While the attraction itself is fun for a brief stop, there isn’t much else to do nearby, making it a convenient option for travelers needing a place to rest or take a bathroom break.

Can't wait to come stay here. We stopped by for the Chili pepper, but met the owner Paul and he showed us around. Why N amazingly nice person.
Guinness record is probably going to be set with this beautiful pepper,so come out and stay a night or so in this beautiful small oasis outside of El Paso.

Not too bad. I wish I would've used online booking app before going to desk to pay. 40 dollar difference.

This is a giant sculpture in front of The Big Chili Inn. I think it is so much fun and a fantastic representation for Las Cruzes who is the global epicenter for chile cultivation.
