Econo Lodge Socorro

Our stay at the Econo Lodge in Socorro, New Mexico so far exceeded our expectations that I was compelled to share our experience with others. Located on the main *****, and across the street from a Walmart, it is a slightly rundown area. But the motel is taken care of like it's situated in an oasis. The room offers just what is needed for a restful stay. The bed feels newish and is extremely comfortable. The air-conditioning is user-controlled, so the temperature was cool for us after a long day of driving in high-90s weather. There is a desk to work or write on; a refrigerator and freezer, which we used to store dinner leftovers; a microwave; and a single coffee maker with regular and decaffeinated coffee pods, same for tea, and even hot chocolate. The room has a table and chairs is comfortable to play games, eat dinner, or share a morning coffee for two. The room is extremely clean. And the stay was extremely quiet. The latter two points amazed us, because the price point of the hotel is very economical, and as soon as you open the front door, you hear noise from the main *****, businesses on all sides, and residents talking loudly. It's a well-made hotel, but it is a little older. So, for example, I was challenged in taking a bath since the plug no longer stays shut. The WiFi buffers from time-to-time, when using your computer. And the television (DirectTV) didn't work - it was offline when we turned it on right before bed. The front desk agent was happy to send someone to the room to reset it. It was our decision to forgo it, because we were having a lovely quiet evening and didn't really need to watch TV. If we'd arrived a little early (and next time we stay here) we'll walk to the courtyard and sit on one of the beautifully appointed wrought iron patio loveseats, around a fountain and flowers, and enjoy some reading time. And don't miss the complimentary breakfast. The attendant who has a lovely, welcoming personality makes you eggs, bacon, sausage; there's individual bread wrapped in plastic wrap (so, like the cleanliness of the room, it is made to ensure your safety). There is granola and two other healthy cereal options, waffles, bagels and cream cheese, hard-boiled eggs, fresh coffee with liquid creamers, etc. It's tasty, convenient, and satisfying, and is included in the low price of the room. We can't recommend a motel more. We've stayed in so many, some as costly as $300 a night, and not had a better overall experience.

They were asking for deposit $100 and I didn't like that they need to update that online

Great place for bikes Nice clean comfortable room. On a motorcycle and felt safe to park outside. Storm was moving in and the got us checked in early. Great place.

The hotel was very clean. The staff were all very kind and helpful. The air conditioner was not cold when we first arrived and the staff were responsive and efficient in response to our request to fix it. Breakfast was delicious and the staff made it to order at any time during the breakfast hours. The location is very convenient, as there are a number of restaurants, a delicious coffee shop (Que Suave), and Walmart all within walking distance. The pool and hot tub are clean and enjoyable. The gym and sauna are also clean and fun. We stayed 8 days/7 nights and it was a great stay. Thank you!

Proprietor's take pride in the property and exhibit competence in the efficient running of their business.

The lady that served breakfast was so kind and attentive. The food was very good and plentiful. We found the room to be very comfortable and clean. We would stay here again.
