Hotel in zona Western New Mexico University, Silver City

I was four days into my “¡Sixth Annual First Quarter Odyssey: Central New Mexico l!” upon cycling into the magnificent Silver City community on my “FrankenBike”. [So named because it is a combination of fantastic Cruzbike T50E frameset/S40 bars/heavy duty 48V direct drive eBikeKit.com PAS/beloved Doublevision waxed chains/cannibalized ATB caliper & headset.] I had called ahead to specifically request a ground-floor room for two nights, which put me in a more recently constructed separate wing. Despite the door weakness & skinny walls that allowed too much sound through, security was good—keyed entry only into the building. I was extremely pleased with the electrical outlets—essential for recharging my eBike! Of course, free WiFi is also a requirement, and I was pleased to be able to use the washing machine along with the microwave (both in a common 24-hour access area). The front desk personnel were the most important aspect of this budget motel; their knowledge of the immediate grounds and Silver City are important to new arrivals. Actually, I was already familiar with Silver City from when I had overnighted in this amazing community six years before while biketouring through in 2017. However, this time I was staying two nights to enjoy a delicious morning “Coffee with KRWG” on 13APR at the Tranquilbuzz Coffeehouse in the historic zone. Without question, this budget motel more than met my requirements for a low price/easy recharging/WiFi. It definitely has my coveted “iWheel of Approval!”
