On the spur of the moment, we stopped here because we'd changed plans and didn't have a reservation anywhere. For a $99 room, I thought they could have provided better conditions. The room smelled almost smoky, not fresh. The sink didn't have a stopper, which made cleaning contacts a little chancy. There were no Kleenexes in the built-in container and the person behind the desk couldn't provide any. There was no shampoo provided, no bedside clock, the commode ran continuously till my husband fixed it, and the door to the hallway fitted so poorly that we could see air through it. Every noise in the hall was magnified. The refrigerator was sitting on a round talble and was propped against the wall for balance. The electrical cord that it was plugged into was frayed and the cover for the outlet was broken. On top of that, the local wifi was terribly slow. When my husband complained the next morning, the person behind the desk wouldn't give the name and address of the manager.

Theres nothing great here, but considering what you pay, the deal is great.

You're basic but clean room, friendly staff. I was in a fancier place originally, but it was depressing and the service aweful. So I came here.

It is convenient to Los Alamos and Santa Fe by car. The Sonic is next door for cheap food.

Like best -- price
Like least -- close to street

We decided to pull in for a couple days and set up camp at the Espanola Motel 6. The rates are what caught our eye as they have them displayed outside. The staff was friendly and knowledgable about the area and told us where to enjoy our 2 days in town. The rooms were simple but very clean and smelled fresh. It was nice to have a clutter free room. Other chains litter the desk with so much uneeded literature. We also had a great view of the sunset from the room right over the mountains. The other nice thing is the Sonic Drive In next door which satisfied my ice cream addiction both nights, convenient!

We visited Los Alamos and Taos during our stay both destination were about 45 minute drives and the views were just breathtaking.

I would recommend this to any budget travelers(who isnt these days) or anyone just looking for the basic amenities. Well done motel 6 espanola!

First room smelled like eggs, i can't guess why. When we went to the clerk and asked for a new room, she recommended spraying some air cleaner in the room and proceeded to get me a can of it. I said I'd rather have a new room, and it seemed like a big inconvenience to her. She rudely got us a new room. The new room was far below any budget hotel should be providing. The room also smelled (moldy) and the sheets did not smell newly washed. The toilet had urine stains around the base. It was almost like we were given the room they save for problem customers. This experience damaged my opinion of super 8 motels. I now avoid the chain.

Another thing. When I was registering, a pregnant woman came in asking to use a restroom. The clerk rudely said they had none. Yet there was one just around the corner. That was vicious.
