While there is no shortage of '50s-era motels in Raton, this one has been customized so that each room has a different kitschy theme to it. We stayed in the Matador room, and my wife spent the first fifteen minutes of our stay photographing all the fun items used to decorate the room. The owners are very friendly, and the hotel is very close to the historic downtown.

It is still an old motel, so don't expect it to have all the modern conveniences of newer chain hotels. One nice perk from that era, though, was very high water pressure in the shower--brought me back to my childhood : )

This older building has been very lovingly cared for. The room was spacious. The bathroom was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was good, and had everything I needed and expected.

Large, comfortable, themed room. Great host.

The property was adorable, the owners were so friendly and accommodating and our room was perfect. I can’t think of anything we didn’t we couldn’t find or didn’t have!

What a kitchy fun place to stay that exceeds your expectations on hospitality! I will definitely be going back!

Great place to stay. Quiet and clean place. Very unique

Retro vibe of the 1956 motel was super cool. Michael and Brandy were perfect hosts.

Although the property is vintage 1956, some updates will be needed.

was clean and comfortable and a fair price, liked location

No problem

Very quirky motel where each one of the 16 rooms have a theme. Mine was "Movie Cowboy" with lots of related posters and decorative items along this theme around the room. Room was comfortable with a nice bathroom and desk/writing area as well as a large leather sofa. TV had HULU/ROKU channels. Breakfast (not great) and 1 bottle water/day was provided. The place it at the end of town which seems like a dead-end (closed entry/exit ramp to I-25), so you need to drive into the little town for restaurants and gas. The place is run by a nice, young couple who bought from someone who collected all this stuff that the rooms are now decorated with.

I was unable to watch just regular TV channels, like the news. Maybe this was possible somehow but I could not figure it out. The theme of the room was very cool, but I had to move a lot of the decorations to the corners to be able to accommodate my own stuff (suit cases & bags). I think the room was a bit "over-decorated" but I could take a look at the adjacent room (2 rooms, really) called "All American" and that one was ok, not too bad, so it probably depends on where you end up. The mattress was terrible, very wobbly, very old and tired and used feeling. I am surprised my back didn't go out! Breakfast was not that great, mostly sugary crap (cereal, bars), the apple I tried to eat was sour. Hard-boiled egg and yoghurt were ok.

Only had coffee nothing else. Always drive a little before we have a breakfast which is our normal routine. Love the room and the way you title each room. This is my second time to stay at the motel. It has been many years however. Very different but much better.

Nothing,,

Everything!! The location was perfect. The owners are super friendly. I room was really cute. We are from Texas and the room we were in was called Big Texax

Everything was great it was very quite people were very friendly. There were families on both sides of us and we never heard noise from either room.

it was a good distance from the freeway so it was quiet.

my friend is handicapped and the floors were uneven so she found it harder to walk
