Quality Inn Raton NM

My wife and I traveled with a friend and booked two rooms at this hotel for one night. This is an older hotel and it showed in many ways. The carpet in the main hallways was old and “wavy” where it wasn’t lying flat on the floor anymore. The hotel has an older building smell, although that was overcome by the scent of someone smoking marijuana in one of the rooms. This part of NM must have oil fields as we noticed most of the people staying in the hotel all had work trucks parked in the lot. The good: Our room had new carpet in it. The room was clean with a modern flat screen tv, microwave, and refrigerator. The ac worked well and kept the room cool. The bathroom was clean too and had plenty of towels and amenities. There was plenty of hot water. The bad: The toilet chain in our friend’s room was broken so he had to take the top off the pull the chain from the inside. The shower head in our room worked but had rust and stains from age. The porcelain in the bathtub was flaking away. The metal lamps and light fixtures all had rust on them. The biggest disappointment was the young lady who was at the front desk. When we arrived around 6pm the front desk area was dark. There was a small area for the employees to one side of the front desk and we could see the front desk clerk sitting on a chair watching tv. She saw us come in but didn’t come to help until we rang the little bell. She did what she had to do to check us in but wasn’t very friendly or personable. The man at the front desk when we checked out the next morning was much friendlier. The hotel provided a breakfast but we didn’t try it as we were in a hurry. The hotel was decent enough and we got a good night’s rest but if we came through here again we would look to stay elsewhere.

Very friendly staff. We stayed overnight on our way to Colorado. Room was adequate and clean. Not enough outlets. Ice machine was broken. No snacks or drinks in the vending machines. Indoor pool & hot tub were nice. Breakfast was mediocre. Probably wouldn’t stay here again

We stayed one night on our way through. The room was clean, roomy, quiet and comfortable. The rate was cheaper than some of the other surrounding hotels. The guest attendant was pleasant. It is pet friendly although we were not traveling with our pets.

We were checked in by Delilah, upgraded to a king bed room because we are Choice Privilege Platinum Members. We were given a room with a large vanity outside the bathroom, a desk, an easy chair, comfortable bed and pillows, good linens, good shower, and a clean carpet. Breakfast was good, sausage links, scrambled eggs, fresh waffles, fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, breads, juices, and coffee.

Reasonable price. The Best Western next door is $70 more. Basic room. Plenty of room to sleep and get ready in the morning. Breakfast was okay. Eggs, sausage, waffles, cereal and bread. Coffee available all day. Would have been nice to have a curtain that closed completely instead of just a sheer.
