After the 2016 Flanger Trip, I gave up on that place. I didn't relish the extra 60 miles of driving back and forth to Alamosa, and I am one who really values every minute of sleep, but I just couldn't spend another night in the cinder block palace. The last time I was there, half the lights in my room didn't work. The owner tried and failed to fix them. The place also has no microwaves or fridges in the rooms, and of course, there's no food nearby in the early AM. Now, I always stay in Alamosa. I can make reservations on-line, I earn points with the chains, I have a microwave and fridge right in the room, and Safeway a few blocks away. The drive is easy. I have never looked back. Antonito sure could use a good chain hotel. Even Motel 6 looks like the Ritz compared with the accommodations there.
