This was an unexpected stay, we were planning on driving the whole way through, then stopped in Alamosa because we couldn't possibly drive any further.

Most places in town were sold out when we were there - the crane festival was going on. We got a King Suite for about $58 nightly. Pleasantly surprised by the enormous red heart-shaped jacuzzi tub in our room. Also pleasantly surprised by the fact that it was clean. We could tell upon pulling up that this was an older hotel, but it is all interior-entrance (meaning no rooms open into the parking lot), so we went for it.

They were undergoing renovations/remodeling while we were there. No one mentioned it to us, nor were there any signs indicating so, but there was a pile of old furniture in the parking lot (I think they were the old desks or dressers from the rooms that had already been removed), our vanity in our bathroom was ... interesting, and there were various other updates in our room that did not fit in with the rest of the room.

Despite the renovations, our room was clean, the linens were freshly changed and the carpet had been vacuumed recently. Housekeeping staff was pretty friendly in the halls. We didn't partake in the breakfast either morning (if it's unimpressive, there's a McDonald's next door and several restaurants a few blocks down the street).

If you're looking for an inexpensive, clean room, this is a pretty good place to try. It may feel older and dingy, but we had no problems with the cleanliness of our room, the staff and the price of the room.

I did not expect the Hilton, but i did not expect a dump. The pillows were flat and I requested another pillow. The answer was that they were all out of extra pillows. The bathroom had a dirty towel and used soap in it. They provided no toiletries other than 1 sm bottle of shampoo and conditioner. No lotion or other items. Sign says the motel is recently renovated. A hole in the wall in the room I was in about fist size was filled in with a large glob of putty and painted over. It was soft and mushy. The bathroom had not been cleaned and when they gave the room at sign in and they did not offer to clean it for me. Towels and wash cloths were like sand paper. The key cards would not keep their memory and I constantly had to get the cards reset -4 times in 2 days. The pool looked dirty. I would not set foot in it. I won’t stay there again!

As another reviewer said, "Below par for Super 8."

Main points:
- grumpy, unhelpful desk clerk
- teeny tiny swimming pool (never seen one smaller -- seriously)
- mineral deposits & water spots all over the faucets
- gritty dirt on the tile bathroom floor
- traffic noise (not really the hotel's fault, but still a problem)
- only offerings at breakfast were bagels, pre-packaged muffins, waffles, cold cereal, and boiled eggs. No toast, no oatmeal packets, NO fruit (even though it's early summer)

Let me be clear: I am not that hard to please. We are a road-tripping, coupon-clipping, penny-pinching family. But the problems with this motel are too easy to fix -- the only explanation is negligence. Train the clerk to smile and be nice; scrub the bathrooms a little better; get a few more things for the breakfast bar. Traffic noise & teeny pool? I could overlook both if there'd been friendliness, cleanliness, and better breakfast offerings. (Note: the morning crew was very nice -- that's the only reason I'm giving the motel a "2" on service.)

the room was outdated, slightly dirty and oddly configured (extremely low sink). I don't plan on staying here again.
