Hotels near Rita Blanca/Kiowa National Grassland, Clayton

I passed here when I went skiing in Colorado. The hotel is right on the highway, which is very convenient. It looks like a motel, but it is very comfortable and the sound of the air conditioner is acceptable. What is surprising is that the breakfast is more generous than usual, and the room number is also recorded. Overall satisfied.

Spent one night on cross-country trip. Wanted a fitness room if I was going to pay the rather high motel/hotel rates that are demanded these days. There is a fitness room that was very small but satisfactory for me. I was told and noticed that the pool and hot tub were unavailable and obviously had been for some time. Carpeting in the halls had not been cleaned in a day or so. AC was noisy; rip in screen; breakfast was fine - nothing to write home about. Would have appreciated oatmeal, more fruit than the very green bananas on hand. Positives: very good bed with two nice pillows per person. Appreciated the coffee maker, fridge and microwave. Had a very good night's sleep on the second floor.

I travel a lot and have rarely left a negative review over decades, but I need to warn folks about this place. I have stayed here many times over the last decade but it has continued to go down hill. I stayed there 17 May 2022 - got in late - desk clerk was friendly. They did away with continental breakfast and she offered a brown bag substitute already prepared. They gave me my military discount. Things seemed ok but I had trouble sleeping because of the extremely strong detergent smell in the bedding. It was overwhelming. My hand started itching and I thought I would get a shirt from my bag and cover the pillow with it to dampen the smell. As I walked back to the bed to grab the pillow, there next to it was a big bed bug. Having had experience with them long in the past I killed it and a fresh red spot of my own blood smeared the sheet. I tore the bed apart to see if there were more in the usual spots along the seams. I killed three more smaller bed bugs in the sheets.The mattress seemed very new with no signs of bed bugs. But I could see old blood spots on the sheets which told me they had a history here. I pulled the bed out from the wall and the king mattress down from the double box springs. Now exposed to the light were a dozen bed bugs of various sizes. I started killing them but as I pulled the mattress down more, even more appeared and lots of little ones. This was too much! I quickly threw on my clothes and went out the door to find someone. No one on night shift!!! So I quickly packed my stuff up and threw it all in the trunk. I left a nasty hand written note about the bed bugs, left the door open and ran for the hills. I was tired. I had only stayed in the room till about quarter after one AM. (less that two hours in the room) I drove an hour to Dumas and found a clean room for half the price an hour later. This totally threw off my time schedule because I didn't get to sleep until 0230 am and slept till 830am (late for me). I am certain no one from Wyndham will be interested in giving me a refund, no matter how so very sorry they are. LOL. I will never stay at that hotel again!!! If there is bed bugs in one room (Room 106) they are likely in others. I left my stuff outside in the heat for a week before I brought it in the house to ensure there were no hitch hikers. All I can say is.... Yuck, Gross, Ewwwwww!!!!!
