Very friendly, helpful, kind staff. Very clean rooms and comfortable bed. A very safe place to stay when away from home. Close to stores, church, Dairy Queen, which serves breakfast too. The price is great. I have stayed here twice.

For a town that has two hotels and one of them is permanently closed (fort bend is closed) they had an opening day of. They were kind, rooms were big and clean no bed bugs or fleas (I checked even though it didn’t look like it needed checked). Overall it’s worth the call to book a room. For $66 bucks you cannot beat it.

Quaint hotel with small town service!! Rooms were pristine and what an affordable price! Staff goes the distance to make sure you're comfortable and are very knowledgeable about the town and local area. It was so peaceful and serene as you are surrounded by wildlife preserves. Excellent stay for the outdoor enthusiasts! Will be back again!!

Clean, neat, remodeled room, full tub with removable shower head, microwave, refer with freezer, good satellite package, fresh clean ice, vending machines. A fast-food chain across street, and a family dollar store. Good WiFi signal. Two locks on door with metal key. AC and ceiling fan. Bed is firm and clean. I am walking across the country, this is the best room I have stayed in out of the six I have had on this trip. The staff is friendly and attentive. There is a covered porch to sit under through the day, it was comfortable all day. Great place to get a break from the road.

Stayed here for a week. Excellent service and hospitality. The room had two beds plus a hide-a-bed. TV was a nice Samsung flat screen. Microwave and refrigerator worked well. We have stayed here twice and would definitely stay here again the next time we are in town. You will be hard-pressed to find such caring hospitality elsewhere. The manager tries his best to make sure that your needs are met.

We've been staying there twice a year for almost 9 years. Every single time we are greeted with open arms and such kindness. The rooms are adorable and oh so clean! Their managers are awesome and take such good care of the entire property. From emacilatey clean, country style rooms and cute comfortable outdoor tables and chairs to include an outdoor fan and patio area to relax and enjoy to the beautiful landscaping they work hard to maintain. They also have free WiFi and a pretty good selection of movie channels. We recommend Santa Fe Trails Inn to all that travel through or visit Bent County.

I rode my Harley from Kentucky to see the Rocky Mountains and on day 3 I stopped and stayed here. It was great! Really cheap and the rooms were good sized and very clean! It has a very classic vintage feel. Don’t let the old look fool you….its a nice place to stay. I enjoyed it and rested better here than I did much more expensive rooms I stayed in. It just felt homely. I will definitely stay again when I go west again next summer!
