I stayed here while driving through New Mexico. Clean, comfortable beds, gourmet coffee maker, ironing board, and fridge in the room. Nice enough place for overnight stay. Free breakfast in the morning which I did not take advantage of, so can not comment.

My son and I were in town for a baseball tournament and decided to stay since we were to play again the following day.

The bad things included the boxspring of one of the beds was not sitted correctly on the bedframe and thus a large piece of metal stuck out which was hidden by the comforter. I ran into it with my shin - a very big ouch!

The drain was very slow, and there were small bloodstains behind the bathroom door. Very small but bloodstains nonethless.

The good things were that the beds were comfortable, the interstate wasn't far away (no traffic noise though), and near a Walmart for groceries and supplies. The breakfast was cold cereal - frosted flakes and raisin bran - plus instant oatmeal. There were oranges, apples, tiny muffins, and doughnuts. Coffee and juice were available. The free newspaper was just one copy to share with others at the continental breakfast.

There's no Internet or pool but the area seemed to be safe. The rooms had a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker.

We have stayed at the Days Inn at Grants on previous trips to California. Grants is a good overnight stop on the way from Texas. The room was not much better than the nearby Motel 6, but the price for the Days Inn was considerably higher. The Days Inn did not have a swimming pool, which the Motel 6 did. Restaurants, service stations and stores are within a few blocks in either direction and convenient and easy access to I-40. Average motel, a bit overpriced.

I made a confirmed reservation at this motel prior to leaving home. I arrived at property about 6:30 p.m. the night of reservation only to be told that they had "given away" my reserved smoking room. Clerk suggested that I could stand outside and smoke because every room opened to outdoors. It was 30 degrees out with a wind chill of about 20 and snowflakes were starting to fly. I informed her that no I did not want to do that and she cancelle my reservation with a tongue in cheek "sorry". Actually, I was kind of happy this happened since lobby was dingy and dirty - can't imagine what room would look like. Went next door to the Best Western, got a smoking room for a few dollars more and had a wonderful nights sleep.
