Day's End Motel

Las Cruces

I have stayed in hotels and motels all over the world. When I travel by car I prefer the motel where you can drive right up to the dood because I hate dragging luggage too far. Most of the time as on this occasion I use Booking.com.  I booked Days End motel just as I arrived in Las Cruces. I have never been there before so I had no idea what part of town was what. The first sign of something wrong was the front door was locked and a sign saying to go to the little window on the side of the building. It was only 7:30 pm. This window was about a foot square and only half of it opened. The window looks into what I am guessing is the manager's living room. Laying on this tattered old leather couch watching tv is a hefty East Indian woman whom never moved . A short dirty grubby East Indian man came to the window . I told him I had booked a room through booking.com. I think I must have interrupted the best part of his tv show because he was not pleasant. He started thumbing through his phone mumbling. He cant find my booking. He says it must be on the other guys phone. So now I walk all the way back to my car to get my phone with the confirmation #on it. When I get back he reaches through the little window and grabs my phone. I had it ready with the confirmation # right there. Now he flipping through my phone, why I have no idea. All I need is a bed for the night after a long drive. As I look through his tiny window I notice just how dirty and disgusting his own home is. Tattered furniture, thread bare red carpet with a multitude of stains. I'm guessing a tv in the corner and a lamp. If his own home looks like this how bad are the rooms. There is only one other car on the property. I asked him if I could get a main floor room because my legs aren't to good for climbing stairs. His answer was you'll get what I give you. Then he went on how he was going to charge me for smoking in the room. Well that was it. Even after a tiring day I dont need to put up with this treatment. By this time he had my credit card so I grabbed that and told him I will go somewhere else. As I was walking to my car he was chasing after me yelling "don't forget to call bookin.com" I believe he does this to drive people away and then gets to keep their money and one less room to clean. I found a great motel down the road called The Roadway Inn and Suites. It is a beautiful motel and cheaper than Days End motel.
I did try to call booking.com.  After I put in my conformation # and password I sat on hold for 25 minutes. Finaly a woman said hello then it went back to the hold music and 2 seconds later it just hung up. I gave up on booking.com but they keep sending me emails asking why I didn't stay in the dirty disgusting hotel. I explain it to them and then they send me and email asking if I can improve the review I left about Days End motel . If there were a way of making a worse I would. They should add  little sad face with a gun to his head. Anyway the Days end motel gets - 20 on my ratings and booking.com gets the same. Because of their horrible customer service.

If you want a fantastic place to stay definately go to the Roadway in and help these guys out. They just bought it before this whole virus thing and are suffering.

Dirty and discusting

I was on the third day (30AUG2019) of my 277mile/363kms biketour from my El PasoTX home > Las CrucesNM > HatchNM and back when the LCD on my eBikeKit-assisted CruzBike indicated re-charging was absolutely required. Good thing this motel was right on my way—I had left a several hours earlier out of Hatch, Southbound on NM185. 
This established location met all of my needs, specifically WiFi, and most importantly, an outlet to recharge my eBikeKit battery.  Front office advised me to not take my ‘bent inside the room, lock it up outside to the railing, specifically to keep it away from the window and possibly breaking the large page of glass.
I acknowledged his request, then went to my assigned ground-level room. 

Not intentionally/maliciously disobeying the owner, I did take my modified CruzBike inside the room, but propped it on a table far from the window and very close to the outlet. I was appalled by the atmosphere—I had specifically requested “NON-smoking” yet the air reeked of burnt tobacco. 
I seriously considered returning to the office with my complaint, but answering the knocking the door, it was the owner chiding me for not follow wing directions. I showed him that my rather expensive eBike was no where close to the window, then asked him about why I was given a smoking room despite my request. He saw the situation, and told me that sometimes outside smokers don’t go far enough away, but it was, indeed, a non-smoking room. 
Sure enough, within a few hours, the horrendous scent has disappeared. The scent now was a delicious Hatch Chile cheeseburger that I had purchased at a close by Sonic! And I definitely was unable to go anywhere else—my body was ready for rest!
The room had everything I could ask for, and is always expected: Mini-fridge, microwave, digital TV. The bathroom door needed to stay closed because all the a/c would escape the lovely room through it. 
I did find the bathroom a bit in need of continued maintenance. The toilet roll holder needs to be fixed,  the sink basin re-enameled/replaced, the handles in the shower are loose. Still, I greatly appreciate quick hot- and cold-water, and excellent ice from the dispenser close to the office. 

I’m very glad the Day’s End Motel is where it is—I have NO DESIRE to actually have to physically pedal any further! This established motel gets my “Wheel of Approval!”

iBirthday Biketour! My World Upon Wheels/reTIRED World (Bike)tour

I stayed here after a long drive of the day.  It was quite full with FFA kids.  I was on the lower floor in the 2nd building.  Very quiet all night.  Room has fridge and micro.  Break was waffles, cereal, Chip beef and biscuits, breads, made cheese egg souffle and bev.  All good.  Lady on front desk very helpful.  They do have a business center.

Nice quiet

This place is a dump. Rooms are dirty, smelly, and noisy (location is on busiest street in Las Cruces in a shady neighborhood). People are unfriendly, unhelpful, and have an attitude. And not even the coffee is drinkable. Pay an additional $10 and go somewhere else! 

As bad as it gets

We were driving from L.A. to Tennessee dragging a U-Haul trailer behind us so we weren't in tourist mode.  We were in budget mode, and this hotel was a find. It was clean, warm, had free Wi-Fi and cable TV.  It was off the main drag with a peekaboo view of the mountains, but not much other scenery to recommend it.  We didn't care - we slept cheaply and soundly.  The owner had hot coffee ready when we got up in the morning.  It definitely made my list of where to stay on the trip back.

Excellent Budget Motel

This motel is nice. Its staff are very friendly. The rooms are spacious and have fridge and microwave, plus they have coffee in the reception and invite you to have a drink. There is wifi. Everything is quite clean. The beds are comfortable and spacious. The only place is that there is a little noise.

A good choice.

Liked:
Very good location to get off the highway and to drive on to Whitesands the next day

Disliked:
- No breakfast
- very worn rooms
- bad cleaning (e.g. soap and hair on shower floor)
- noisy aircon outside (earplugs necessary)
- shower not suitable for tall people (>175) and most certainly not for wide people

Not a good deal

Instead of the 60-80 dollars all the other motels are charging in this part of the city, we found this 40 dollar stay with free wifi, TV, microwave, shower, two-person bed, heater, airco, and parking. Maybe they are charging less because it's not including breakfast and a few more blocks from the freeway, but if you just need a cheap, good quality place to crash, this is it.
