Morenci Motel

Well got bad news.. stayed at the motel again and was looking forward to the good food. They hired a new manager for the restaurant.. he made some changes. If you plan on your meal being average then you won't be disappointed..But the motel is still a great value and very clean.. travel safe..

So this menu and the restaurant has made a drastic change. The menu itself doesn't seem so overwhelming. The wait staff of course is good. I think my only complaint is that the wait staff doesn't clear off any dishes until you leave. The food is really good, it's just that it takes way to long.

Hubby and I stayed here for one night...after our BnB didn't quite work out the way we'd planned. We arrived after 9 pm and a room was available for us. Rate was reasonable. The single queen room was clean and quite spacious. Wifi instructions are on a card included with other room/area info on the desk. Enjoyed the stay.

The service was great! I got the Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes. The steak and mashed potatoes were very good. Before we got our food, they gave us bowls to go create our own salad. The lettuce was fresh and tasty. The food was very cheap. I left with a very happy stomach.

Reading the reviews after finding out we would be staying here for work...I was nervous. I know that the town is a "company town" and is all about the mines. We were setting up a Dollar General in nearby Cliffton. We arrived late in the evening around 9pm after working a full day then driving 6 hours. The girl working the desk was very nice and helpful with directions and where we could eat at the late hour.Got in our room. Nice large room. Refrigerator and micro wave worked well. Nice big bathroom and sink area. Flat screen tv was good size and the beds were very comfortable.The building from the outside is dated....with soul. The inside the part that counts...is updated, clean and comfortable. Everything worked. My review is for 2 rooms because we checked out after 3 night's and the company had to book us another night because of a problem at the store....... and the staff once again were great even when we over slept and kinda of pushed the checkout time.I only gave 4 stars because...though they do have a breakfast...it is for sure a grab and go affair. With an improved breakfast an easy 5 stars.

Thank you ALL for a pleasant stay. Our room was always ready when we returned from Mom's cleanup. We'll be back soon for the Head stone setting. Always interesting to see all the changes with the the Cooper mining diggings.
