It's a bit more run down than the photographs on the site. But it is still a decent place to stay. Bed was comfortable, good hot shower great design for towel storage so you can grab one without dripping water everywhere. Has a fridge, microwave. Its own laundry mat where washing machines and driers cost $1.50. There is a pool but it was closed. Kudos for hiring a nice fella with a disability who cleans rooms.
Walmart to the north about 10 mins walk, other closer supermarkets heading south. About half an hour walk to Alien souvenir shops area of main street. Anderson Musuem of Contemporary Art is a slight detour off main street about half way there, and is quite impressive. Roswell public library is also quite interesting, has a dragon. But aliens, well Alien Zone is the best place, for $5 you can visit and photograph a recreation of Area 51. Also has cheaper shirts and merchandise than the UFO Museum and Research Center which wasn't anywhere near as good, although does have a cool alien autopsy with mannequins display.
The local (Main Road route) bus stops pretty much right outside Motel 6 meaning you can get to the airport for 75c. However if like me you caught the last flight for the night to Roswell, well you'll pay $37.40 for a taxi, and it won't be waiting at the airport you'll have to ring for one and wait there when everyone else at the airport has gone home, thinking, well if there really are alien abductions, this is the type of scenario it will happen in.
