Hotel Holiday Inn Express a Tucumcari

It's difficult to provide in depth feedback for a hotel where one has spent less than 7 hours when simply passing through on a road trip, as was the case on our visit here this past October. We arrived very early in the morning after a 10 hour drive and were away again before 8am. We called the hotel to let them know how late we would arrive and the staff were friendly then and when we interacted with them on arrival. We were able to find the property easily, it is very convenient for the interstate, and were able to check in quickly and there was plenty of parking. All of these things are a must when on a one night roadtrip stay and the hotel did them well. The room we had was very comfortable and we all slept well for the short night we were here. There was breakfast laid on from early and there was a pretty good selection although it was disappointing that the pancake machine was inoperative that morning as I was intrigued to give that a try. There was a good choice of oatmeal, baked goods, breads and more hearty fare as well, so everyone should find something them like. We ate quickly and were on our way although the dining area is a pleasant place to eat breakfast. Overall the hotel was clean and efficient and the staff helpful which for me, on this stop, was all I wanted as I imagine is the case for most guests here. It must be hard to run a hotel which is basically for one night stays as the short time most people are under your roof means that everything must be good because we just want to sleep, eat in the morning and be on our way without delays or fuss and the Holiday Inn did this very well for our stay. I can't imagine I will pass through Tucumcari very often but if and when I do I will certainly be happy to reside here again.
