On our way to Santa Fe in September --- and also on our way back from Europe last summer --- we stopped in Deming. We bunked down at the Holiday Inn right at the last exit going east and the first exit going west. We always stay here. Why? Simple. It's by far the best pet-friendly motel in New Mexico. What makes it so special? There is a green lawn with trees and flowers in the center of the property. It's populated with doggie bag dispensers. Our Labrador Retriever loves it. He also gets to walk anywhere else on the property he likes. There is room service if you don't want to desert your pooch at meal time. And, of yes, there's a guest laundry if Poochie's blanket gets dirty.
