"Christmas stay"

We stayed Christmas Eve. Our room was ready before check in time which we appreciated as we were in town visiting family. The room was clean and comfortable. Mulligans was closed due to the holiday but we didn't mimd.since Christmas should be spent with family making memories. The breakfast on the 25th was good quality and the workers were running their butts off. We were grateful to have breakfast available.

"Future Routes to include Raton."

We had the best experience. The parking lot was big and able to hold our trailer. The room was spotless and beds extra comfortable. Dinner and a drink hit the spot at the restaurant. The jewelry in gift shop was priced reasonable and quite tempting. Breakfast buffet was super and the pancake was the best ever. Light fluffy and did not fall apart. Eggs were perfect and I'm googling the brand of sausage. Front desk helpful and proud of their city. We want to come back and see the historic buildings.
