There is not a lot of choice in Magdalena. As so many places rich in history, modernity has pretty much passed the place by leaving quaint old buildings from a time when construction was unique and pride was taken in workmanship. The High Country Lodge is one of only a very few places for overnight accomodations. I chose a double... More

This is the neatest little place. Clean and comfy and superior customer service. They have a restaurant on site called Mary Mac's Cafe and the food and service was awesome. I stayed and extra day because I felt so comfortable. Lovely! More

Staying at the hotel is like taking a trip back in time. it's very quaint and rustic. The rooms are small but they are all equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot. You couldn't ask for a friendlier staff!! More

One of 2 little old motels in Magdalena with a really sweet owner. My wife was looking at geodes in a glass case by the check-in desk and he asked if she had an interest in rocks. They chatted for an hour about his amateur digs in the nearby mountains, brought out other cases full of beautiful rocks and even... More

I have stayed at this motel two or three times in the past. Given that it is one of two in Magdalena, it was OK. One time they messed up a reservation and had us down as arriving a day before we actually arrived. But this last time, management achieved new depths of flakiness. I made a reservation for a...

Socorro looked boring to me so I decided to spend the night here while visiting this part of NM. I like the older mom & pops. I asked for a room with a firm bed, and the woman at the desk went through the extra trouble to check a few rooms for me. Great service! The bed was very comfortable... More

AC/ heater are a bit noisy. Included breakfast is basic. Cereal, tea and coffee. It would have been nice to be able to have had toast or... More

I just want to first say that just because I highly recommend this place doesn't mean you should have your expectations up for a Hilton-like visit, the fact is it is the best place to stay in the vicinity. I had business to do in Datil NM and after checking out the Eagle something or other lodge I opted to... More
