I'm planning a road trip. If possible, rather than the chain motels, I'd sort of like to step back to yester year and stay at a small, plain motel. Nothing fancy. My main concern- BUG FREE. Any recommendations for Snyder? Such as "stay at the wagon wheel motel and eat dinner at Betty's Café. Thanks. Alternate town on trip would be Sweetwater.

It's been a few years ago when we fished Alan Henry lake at Justiceburg we stayed at the Beacon on east side of town across highway from Rip Griffins truck stop about 1/2 mile. It was real clean and run by good people. Had a oil derrick with sign on top.

Same here, I've stayed there 3 times in the past. '60's motif, nice spot to stay.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'm sort of sick and tired of the big chains.
Return the favor: America's Best Value in Junction. Real nice. Lobby has a lot of good whitetail mounts. And you can have dinner at Coopers BBQ.

Blackland Smoke House in Snyder is pretty tasty

If you find yourself in Raton, NM, this place is fun, clean, and affordable.
