The Lariat is a great little find. Price is low for the room. It had a kitchenette and 2 beds. The room was clean and comfortable. The owners were polite and accommodating. I will stay here again
Very warm and welcoming staff. The rooms are clean and I felt very safe. Nice sitting area outside
Staff is very friendly. Rooms were nice and clean, the area feels safe.
Rooms 1-6 are great for 1-2 people if you’re just doing a one or two night stay due to the bath rooms being small. Rooms 7-11 are great for those that work on the road or doing an extended stay for whatever reason full size fridge duel burner cabinet top stove. Yes the rooms are clean. Sunny and Nancy are by far some of the best people you will ever meet. If you need or want anything just ask and they take care of ya.
Love this motel! It was ny first time staying at a motel and this location had set my standards high for others. Sunny and his family are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are well kept and comfortable. The kitchenette rooms are great as well. Great water temperatures, gets very hot and very cold. Also, washer & dryer on site, it’s $2 for wash and $2 for dry. The town is about 30-40 mins from ABQ. The closest town is about 10 minutes, has more food options, Walmart, Starbucks, and an automatic car wash. Thank you Sonny and family.
I am glad I found this spacious place. I can do a number of exercises. It's a mom and pop shop. Nancy and Sonny are helpful and friendly. I am a traveling contractor who works a lot. So, the full-size refrigerator helps me reduce how often I go shopping. It also has a washer and dryer. A bar is within crawling distance! Restaurants are close, too.
