Staff are very professional and quick to help all customers. I have stayed here many times for many years visiting Roswell. Not the prettiest, but real western feel. The owners have put alot of work into making it better. It's really close the the stores on north side of main St. I recommend you stay here. My only complaint is the swimming pool isn't usable.

The location of this place is awesome. Located close to many dining options, shopping, and convenience stores. However, the rooms were somewhat rough. The dresser in room 129 was missing the front off of a drawer, there's no phones in the room, and when I called the office to get the wifi password no one would answer. If your looking for a budget place and just need a quick night's sleep this place might be ok.

I needed a place to stay in Roswell. I went here and was met by a very nice woman at the desk. She quoted me a very good rate. I walked in the room and was very happy. This is a quaint, western themed roadside motel. Please don't stop here expecting it to be The Hilton. I was happy. The bed was comfortable, the AC worked, the TV had ample channels, the wi-fi was great, the bathroom was clean, the water was hot and the water pressure was good. You can go to the lobby in the morning for coffee and a light breakfast. I was quite satisfied and I do not hesitate to give them a 5 star rating. I had ZERO complaints or criticism.

Don't let the low price scare you off. This place is great. The rooms are clean and everything is very unique and cool. The owners have a beautiful garden in the middle of the parking lot. They could benefit from a mesh router because the wifi isn't great how they have it set up.

I had an amazing stay at the Western Inn in Roswell, New Mexico. The rooms were absolutely beautiful, and I stayed in room 107, which was super clean and well-maintained. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax after a long day. The water pressure in the shower was perfect, adding to the overall comfort of my stay. I also want to give a special shout-out to Rima at the reception – she was extremely helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

This hotel was perfect for a one-night stop on a long trip, but the room did smell a little musty. We arrived well after midnight and had no trouble checking in late. The room was clean and the bed, comfortable. For the price, it was perfectly fine.

So coming to Roswell I had booked another hotel… when we got there it looked abandoned.. so I told the lady I didn’t want to stay there. I saw the western inn and just pulled in to see if they had anything available. I loved it! It’s crusty and kitschy and I was totally into the western look it had along with the aliens. We got room 111 and it was great. It was clean the shower was brand new. The AC worked great and the 2nd bed was in a separate room. Which was great because my buddy snores. It worked for us and I would totally stay here again. It was definitely one of my fav places along our trip across the country. I read some of the other reviews that sound not so great. But if you book room 111 you will be just fine.
