“Dirty, just Dirty....oh and Rude”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Upon arrival it was clear this was not your typical Choice Hotel. If it weren't that it was so late, we would have opted for another. Upon entering our room, that smelled stale or moldy, quick standard check of the beds we found hair, carpet fuzz, toe nail (yes toe nail) and even the impression of the previous tenant in the sheets. On a good note, the beds we're made up very nicely. Visited the Front Desk where "Roger" quickly reported that he "checks every room/bed himself and it can't be dirty". Handed us another key and stated "this is the last one", as if we only had one more chance or else. Ha! Again, we should have left at that point, but was way beyond tired. The replacement room was only slightly better but at least the beds appeared to clean. Bath still had hair in and around, corners we're dirty. Was really disappointed and will be reporting same to Choice, this is not the place to stay when staying at a Choice or any Corporate hotel chain when visiting Tucumcari. Breakfast, was toast and coffee, neither of which we dared try. Left at Sunrise and wont look back. Also note, the Denny's that supposed to be next door (and one of the reasons we selected this hotel) is boarded up/closed/abandoned.

Room Tip: Stay somewhere else, keep driving.

“Flat tire and didn't make it to hotel, no mercy”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2010
2
people found this review helpful

I made reservations thru Expedia for a one-night stay on my way home from taking my daughter to college. About 140 miles from Tucumcari, I got a flat tire. Called the hotel right away, about 7:45 p.m., explained the situation and that I wouldn't be able to make it because I couldn't travel the remaining distance on an undersized spare and it was too late to get a fix on the original tire. Clerk said to call Expedia. As soon as I was checked into a different Choice hotel in Moriarty, NM, called Expedia and they called the hotel on my behalf to check on a refund of my reservation. No go.
Called the hotel myself. No. Was told it had to do with the billing with Choice Hotels.
Called Choice Hotels, no billing on their part.
Called the hotel back on a weekday to talk to a manager. All this time I was very polite. He seemed frustrated that I was trying to pursue a refund of my stay that never happened due to a flat tire.
The moral of the story: if you make a reservation, it's guaranteed and it's after 6:00 p.m., you're paying no matter what happens to you on the way.

“Just what you need for overnight”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2010

The room was large with comfortable beds, good lighting, refrigerator and microwave. Breakfast was adequate. Denny's is next door. The toilet is very low - found this to be odd. We stayed at this hotel coming and going on our vacation.

“Horrible!!! Thick, choking smoke”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2010

Checked into our room. Not clean! No toilet paper. Had to go to the front desk to get it.
The front desk attendant acted "sorry", but we could tell he didn't really care.
There was duct tape on the corners where the carpet had worn. Large cracks in the tiles on the floor.
Worst of all was the cigarette smoke! It wasn't just mild or something we could ignore. It was VERY strong. All the doors along the hallway posted "NO SMOKING", including ours of course. However, after only a few minutes in our room, ,we started smelling a strong, cigarette smoke coming from under our door. We turned on the A/C to try to circulate the air and it immediately started a loud rattling noise and dust blew from the unit. Within 15 min our eyes were watering and we started to sneeze and cough. We felt like we were choking! We had no choice but to leave this place.
When my husband turned in the key at the front desk, the attendant apologized and only offered to move us (as if we would continue to stay there???)
So if you're looking for a non smoking room AND a clean hotel, THIS IS NOT IT!
