The Belair Inn

I love the sign at this old school motor court. They never light it up, but I really wish they would. This vintage sign is a real treasure. It harkens back to the days of Route 66 and road trips including long days of sightseeing ending in a night in a clean, comfortable room. I'm not sure if you can book an overnight stay here anymore. It might just be apartments, like several other retro motor courts in town.

The lady that runs this, is an absolute sweetheart! I was 8 months pregnant and after being treated horribly by another location in town, because of such, she took us in and was more than happy to do so! So very friendly! Room was clean and comfy. Price was great for monthly rates. She even passed on some baby stuff to us! I would highly reccomend this place. We would have stayed longer but hubby got a job offer in Texas and we had to leave the same day. Would totally stay here again if we move back!

Although you can tell that the room might need a few improvements, (i.e better lighting in the shower and one or two stains on the sheets) overall the room was cozy and cutesy. The owner was very kind and helpful, and made sure to make us feel at home. It was a very cozy nonsmoking room with a well working fridge/freezer, microwave, closet and brand new t.v. It offered a great view of the sunset over the mountains, and for $45 a night was definitely worth it.

About 2 years ago our family went to New Mexico, I was searching for thrifty alternatives when I came across the Bel Aire Motel in Truth or Consequences NM.||||It was truly a gem. for a mere $50 a night for a family there were lovely rooms with mid-century furnishings, upgraded bedding, wonderful soaps and shampoos. The whole experience made me think about all the little motels like this I’ve seen around and what a lovely lifestyle for a retired couple or someone disenchanted with their lifestyle to own and run a small establishment. Especially to run it this well!!||||This particular motel is quite the find and I recommend if you’re in the area to check it out. Nothing flashy, but an awesome Googie sign and a love of the period enough to do a wonderful job of restoration.

Great rooms and awesome owner.. been stayin here for a while and she will work with you on just about anything and always replaces or does work asap...
