Advantages: good clean rooms, cheap, excellent location

Disadvantages: none!

If I were an alien I would definitely stay here! We were visiting Roswell to look for aliens and, perhaps more realisiticaly (!), to visit the UFO Research Institute that I have also written an op about.
We had a voucher for this motel that we got from the internet (the New Mexico web site) so we had a bit of an incentive to stay here. The entry for it in the Lonely Planet guide was also encouraging so when we saw the motel as we pulled into Roswell, we decided to stop.

You can only describe the Frontier Motel as a normal American motel with the rooms arranged round the pool on 3 sides. You can pull in straight of the main highway and park under a shaded area as you check in. As we had arrived in the early afternoon, there was no problem getting a room and the manager quickly and courteously checked us in.

Our room was a wonderful surprise - much better than some of the more expensive motels we had stayed at. The room was large with a Queen size bed, table and chairs, huge TV with umpteen million channels (including 3 HBO entertainment channels and several film channels), a fridge (wonderful for keeping your beer cold) and a large vanity unit with Hollywood style lights round about it. The bathroom was lovely with a shower and a bath - it's nice to have the choice! Everything was clean and in really good condition including the air conditioning unit that was efficient and quiet.

The motel was wonderfully situated next to lots of fast food restaurants and restaurant chains so you will never go hungry. It was also very easy to get into Roswell to the main attractions and to get back onto the highway again!

However, you didn't need to go out for breakfast. Breakfast was provided in the reception. In the morning we went down to the reception where there was freshly brewed coffee, orange juice, three different types of cornflakes and lots of donuts! You put your food on the tray and took it back to your room.
Considering how cheap the motel was (£26!), breakfast was an added bonus!
