Motel Desert Inn

2420 South 1st Street, Tucumcari, NM 88401, United States of America –

Lock in a great price for Desert Inn – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Just about everything else! Great price, clean room and bathroom and very friendly staff!

Steve, United States of America

Hotel was very accommodating. We wanted to book an extra day due to a highly publicized windstorm right on our travel path. So easy to book another day & keep our room. We loved the staff the room was charming as the entire property.

Penny, United States of America

Nice clean room, comfortable bed, great place to sleep while traveling, good coffee in the AM, great value.

Ed, United States of America

The bed was very comfy. The complementary waters were needed. We have been traveling across country, and to be able to save just a little money on something small like water, helps. The room was easily accessible. And they have direct TV (which was a little surprising, but we appreciated it a lot). Plenty of outlets, also.

Brittany, United States of America

Decent location with food options close by Room seemed clean

Laurie, United States of America

They have done a GREAT job of modernizing an older motel. We enjoyed the stay.

Garyb2, United States of America

I arrived just as pool area was to close after 10 hrs driving and the staff let me have 30 minutes in hot tub without a problem!

Nikki, United States of America

Small room, but very comfy and clean. Pet rates very good. Complimentary water in the room.

Very, United States of America

I liked everything about it but just wished it was closer to town because I love to walk especially after a long trip but I would stay again because they have a great pool and staff and I felt safe there,

Barbara, United States of America

You know how it’s easy to stop believing that quality, customer service and low cost can coexist? Somehow Desert Inn figured it out. Staff was professional and personable and room was clean and comfortable. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

The outlet in the bathroom was not working. Our friends (in another room) had a leaking shower wand, and the clerk at the desk was coughing a great deal (should not have been in front of the public). The ice machine on our floor was not working so the one on the other floor ran out of ice.
The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious.

Can't think of anything right now. We were so happy to end up staying there. Even the restaurant the lady recommended was excellent. Maybe I needed more closet space, but I have packed too much quite often in the past.

Lack of security, back door broken, non-guests can just walk in. Internet connection was spotty and constantly dropping off. Would never stay there again and never recommend it to anyone.
The room was clean but noisy.

A window fell in on me when opening it, many times no one at the desk for questions or answering guest phonecalls. I've stayed here many times in the past, but it seems things are going downhill quickly.

The room was a bit on the small side. We walked in, and didn’t expect it to be so small. -we reserved a queen bed room. Where we usually reserve king bed rooms. So that could be the reason the room is on the smaller side

Our only "issue" was the size of the room, but that was the way of motels in the past and not much they could do about that.
They have done a GREAT job of modernizing an older motel. We enjoyed the stay.
