This motel may not meet the standards of every traveler, but let me tell you about my experience. I was supposed to stay at a motel in a nearby city only to arrive and find that there was a problem with the reservation. I called Holiday Motel not long before midnight in a panic and talked to the kindly gentleman there. He assured me that he would reserve a room and didn't even ask for a credit card to hold it. I arrived after midnight an hour later to find this gentleman waiting outside the office, anticipating my arrival. I will never forget his kindness.

"Independence" Day - July 4th 2023, I found myself staring into the by-gone era of the 1950's. Camera in hand, K9 by my side - Both of us, were thirsty for whatever may have come our way - Hands placed 10 & 2 on the wheel of the car, we made our way through the highways and byway, in the sweltering heat of the South West. It was then, we stumbled across the Holiday Motel and quite a sight to behold, it was. At first glance - Many may have turned away. But, not us - We felt compelled & welcomed, by this forlorn establishment. Perhaps it is my being an avid photog. why I found so many pleasures, as I peered through the lens creating the revitalization of this quaint 1950's, ground floor, row-run style, of rooms for let. Rooms, which were mostly sound-proof from the adjoining room. Afternoon temps were soaring, over 100*F - yet the air-conditioning unit of the room, blasted out coolness nearly on command, as I switched it on. The small icebox, also provided adequate chill to our meager groceries and plentiful supply of H2O. There were plenty of plush towels, two facial bars (most people bring their own personal toiletries - I know, I do). Being accustomed to daily, birdie bathes, I chose to stick with saving the water reserve of the desert and use only a face cloth and one towel for my toilette - Therefor, I am unsure of the water pressure for the shower. Although, I can say, the water temp, like the weather, was HOT and well received. The bed on which we lain, was your typical "hotel" variety, bed. Nothing to write home about. At home, my nightly bed consists of a baffled, soft-side water mattress (rarely does anything compare). Speaking of pillows; Naw, they were seriously flat. Generally, I bring my own anyway. So, nothing to worry my pretty lil head about there. There to be looked upon, as a necessity, in case you forgot yours. Later on that evening, there came an array of bombs bursting in mid air. Not only were they colorful fireworks, in which to behold - these luminescent lights in the night sky - also appeared similar in sound, to that of the blasts of a cannon, shots fired from a gun or of mortars spent in past (senseless) wars. This "Holiday Motel" - Was the ticket to our perfect paradise - We made the most of what was displayed before us. My pup fancied the maleness of it all, as he sniffed and watered his way along the yard. And I, well, I snapped off, my proverbial butt - Taking shots of the splendor of the past and imagine how it could become again, beautiful. Generally speaking, my yard/gardens/interior are continually under construction, moving this pot or that piece of furniture, weeding, renewing & replenishing - Think of the "Four-Seasons" or the "Cycle of Life". This is the process we can see at the Holiday Motel. Another individual, with a dream, perhaps a bit of hard earned, cash and the desire to fulfil that dream, chooses to build the empire imagined, one brick at a time. This Holiday Motel was my home away from home for a night & I enjoyed every moment of my stay (with the exception of one rude guest - Not the fault of the Holiday Motel), no need to reencounter that again. I was able to dive back into the past for a look into the future of these humble beginnings and be a part of the process Personally, I would highly recommend Holiday Motel - Make it a place to visit often. Grow as a family, with Holiday Motel, and watch, as the changes continue and it develops into a 10* place to call your "Home away from Home" you helped to create - Mom n Pop variety is a better way to the future. The price is nothing to barter over. They remain in keeping with the 1950's era. Down-home honest, true, and fair. Unlike those swankie rooms rented at a much higher price. I know, I will be making it a part of my family plan for outings and convenience, while traveling on the road to Lordsburg, New Mexico. Creator Bless ~ Safe travels

This is one time I'm truly doubting that the good reviews aren't the owner's comments. The hotel is dingy and distressed. One of our 2 rooms had mouse droppings all over the floor. There was a filthy wash rag in the bathroom. One of the fitted sheets was missing on the bed. There were holes in the curtains. We decided to leave even though the room cost was non refundable. The hotel then called us to accuse us of using the room for showers and leaving even though we'd already paid them for the room..

I wish I could give a review with NO stars! Aside from the nice couple working the desk, this place is not worth a look. Dead flies in the bathtub and window sill. Broken extra deadbolt and stained bed linens. Asked for a refund and the owner refused saying we were making stuff up. Stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites down the road even though we didn't get a refund.

This motel is the epitome of not judging a book by its cover. I was welcomed warmly and the room was far better than I expected. The bedding was clean, and the shower was great! Had a microwave and fridge that worked. I did not even turn the TV on, so I cannot comment on that. I would stay here again.

Reservations was efficient, room was surprisingly clean, comfortable and well appointed. Bed was comfortable. Above my expectations for a one night bed and shower in a roadside motel.

Me and the wife were in our way back to San antonio from cali and we were looking for a place to rest after 13 hours of driving. This motel is the perfect little spot for any weary traveler. Clean, comfy, polite and free breakfast! It's a great value and the people at the front desk gave me better customer service than the ritzy places in cali i stayed at. Best rest stop on our trip. Will be sure to stop here again if we ever come back this way.
