Hotels in Portales, NM

“Came to Portales for my college graduation from ENMU. This is a great hotel. The location was incredibly convenient due to the location being so close to the University. We ended up getting two rooms, and they were both in really good condition. I like the breakfast, probably one of the best ones I have had in a HIE. There was a variety, and plenty for everyone. The staff definitely deserves their recognition. From the young lady who checked us in, to the one gentlemen who checked us out the next morning, to the servers and cooks for breakfast, I didn't get their names and I wish I would've.

The pool area was clean, and the hot tub was super relaxing. We definitely enjoyed a relaxing night in both of them.

The only thing we didn't like was the fact there was no coffee in the rooms. My mother likes her morning coffee while still in her pajamas, and didn't want to have to go downstairs just to get coffee.

Ice machine on the 3rd floor being down, was frustrating, had to go down to the first floor for Ice. Small line, but nothing drastic.

Also, the tub floors are incredibly slippery. My husband had a recent surgery on his knee and is still a little unstable. I got into the shower with a perfectly good pair of legs, and nearly busted my butt once the floors got wet and had to brace myself through most of the shower. I told my husband to be careful because it was so slippery, and he opted to not shower because he was worried he'd slip and fall. I realize having floor mats may not be ideal, but having them available for guests should be an option in the rooms. Those floors are brutal once they get wet. Even my 7 year old almost wiped out. If i would have known it was this bad, I would have tried to reserve a handicap room. So bring a floor mat if you're staying here, especially if you have small children or yourself have mobility issues.

Otherwise, I'd 100% stay here again. The good things definitely outweighed the rest. We will just have to make our own accommodations next time and bring the small stuff from home.”

“I have stayed at Sands motel every weekend for a couple of years. The service is amazing and the rooms are extremely clean very affordable. In every room that I have stayed in the bed was very comfortable and firm. The location is excellent right off the main artery going through town”

“We stayed here for 2 weeks while we were packing to move out of portales. Owners were very attentive and always had a smile on their face!

“Ryan @ the front counter was so helpful. He is very quick to help. I stayed at the Super 8 on business. I needed a new copy of some paperwork, i called to the front desk, and after a few moments Ryan had printed the copy and placed the new copy PDF under the door at my room.. Thank you Ryan for being helpful and courteous...”
