It has been through some changes over the years, even slipping into seediness for a while, as old roadside motels tend to do. Luckily, it survived that phase, and it's mid-century spirit has been reawakened. All of the rooms are now themed - you can choose from the Santa Fe Trail Room, the Man Cave, the Sombrero, the Matador, the Pin Up or even Lucky Thirteen. Raton itself is a charming, somewhat

gritty little burg, with a downtown full of historic buildings and lots of interesting lore. The entire downtown is on the National Register of Historic Places, and you can go to a movie in a theater that first opened in 1930, or attend a show at the Schuler, which opened over one hundred years ago. Raton now has it's own microbrewery and craft cocktail bar. Things are starting to happen in Raton, which is super exciting for us to see. Come stay with us. We treat our guests like part of our big, quirky and interesting family!

We are amazed! The c9lors on person are just so vibrant.

Looking back and thinking of cooler days ahead...

This video from January 2024 is a glimpse of the wildlife we (and maybe you can too) see here at Raton Pass Motor Inn.

Rare, but not uncommon, a small herd of elk wandered down outta the hills early one evening and graced us with their presence. What a treat!? You can hear us ooing and ahing in the background out of frame. How exciting and magical!? 🦌✨
