Moriarty's BEST Kept Secret: Quality Inn Review (You WON'T Believe This!)
Moriarty's BEST Kept Secret: Quality Inn Review (You WON'T Believe This!) - A Rollercoaster of a Stay!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on Moriarty's Quality Inn. And let me tell you, this isn't your average cookie-cutter hotel review. This is real life, raw emotion, and the kind of truth that might just make you want to book a room (or maybe run screaming in the opposite direction). Prepare yourselves, because it's gonna be a ride.
First Impressions (and a Near Disaster!)
Finding the place was a bit of an adventure. GPS got me halfway there, then decided to take a nap, leaving me to navigate the dusty, slightly-too-quiet streets of Moriarty. But hey, that's part of the charm, right? (Insert nervous laughter here). The exterior… well, let's just say it's a Quality Inn. Not a five-star resort, but it looked clean enough, and honestly, after the drive, I was just hoping for a clean bed and a functioning shower.
Accessibility - A Mixed Bag…
- Wheelchair accessible?: I didn't have a wheelchair, but I poked around. There were accessible rooms, and the front entrance looked pretty level. But some of the hallways felt a tad…narrow. So, definitely call ahead and double-check if accessibility is a top priority.
- Elevator: Yep! Thank goodness, after lugging my suitcase down the narrow passageways, thank god for the elevator.
- Facilities for disabled guests: They seem to have some, but I didn’t investigate every single nook and cranny. Again, call ahead to clarify!
Cleanliness & Safety - Breathing a Sigh of Relief
Okay, this is where the Quality Inn actually delivered. And believe me, I looked. After reading some horror stories online, I was half-expecting to find a dusty, cobweb-infested nightmare. But! Everything seemed surprisingly clean.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: This was a big plus, especially in these crazy times.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere! Which, honestly, made me feel a little less germophobic.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: They advertised it at least. Whether they used them? Well, that's the million-dollar question. (I choose to believe they did!)
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Looked to be happening, too. Maybe? I saw some staff occasionally wiping things down.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: They all wore masks. That's a good start, right?
The Room - A Haven (Mostly)
Let's get real. The room wasn't fancy. Think “functional," not "fabulous." But hey, it had what I needed.
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (Yes! And it actually worked! Hallelujah!)
- Air conditioning: Crucial in the desert!
- Blackout curtains: Saved my sanity from the scorching sun and ensured a decent night's sleep.
- Comfortable Enough Bed: It was… comfortable enough. I slept. That’s the main thing.
- Desk, Laptop workspace: This was incredibly useful to focus on my task!
- Refrigerator: Perfect for storing water and snacks!
- Soundproofing: Didn’t hear a peep from my neighbors. Bonus!
- Coffee/tea maker: Thank goodness for the caffeine!
Bathroom Blues (and Triumphs!..for the most part)
- Additional toilet: Yes!
- Bathtub: The size of it was like it was made for a child, however. But hey, everything works out!
- Shower: The water pressure was, well, adequate. Definitely not a spa experience, but it got the job done.
- Toiletries: Included the essentials; nothing too flashy.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Fueling the Adventure
This is where things got interesting. The Quality Inn isn't exactly a culinary destination, but it has some options.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Included (this did save some money and time!). Don't expect gourmet, but there were the usual suspects – cereal, pastries, yogurt, and an egg dish of questionable origin. No complaints.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant: Unlimited coffee, which is always a win.
- Restaurants: Limited options, but there were some food places that served breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.
- Snack bar: Vending machines. Enough said.
Things to Do (or, Things to Not Do)
Moriarty isn't exactly known for its vibrant nightlife. This is a place for relaxation, you know.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Didn't get a chance to take a dip, but it looked clean and inviting.
- Fitness center: Oh, my. There was a fitness center! It was, shall we say, basic. Treadmill, elliptical, and a few weights. Good for a quick workout, but don't expect a state-of-the-art gym.
- Happy hour: Didn't see any.
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things Matter
- Free Car park [on-site]: Easy peasy.
- Daily housekeeping: Spotless, very professional and fast to help!
- Laundry service: Very convenient and fast
- Luggage storage: They held my bags after check out to make the experience more convenient!
For the Kids - Family-Friendly (ish)
- Babysitting service: Didn't notice that.
- Family/child friendly: Seemed fine for families.
- Kids meal: Didn’t see that.
The Quirks & the "Ugh" Moments
Okay, here comes the real talk. Every place has its quirks, right? Here’s what I experienced:
- The "Mystery" Stain on the Carpet: Don't ask. Just… don't ask.
- The "Slightly Questionable" Air Freshener: Let's just say it masked more than it helped.
- The Elevator That Occasionally Got Stuck: (Okay, that was just once, but still!)
The Verdict (drumroll please…)
Okay, so here's the deal. The Moriarty's Quality Inn isn't a luxury resort. It's not going to win any awards for design. But, it is clean, safe, and surprisingly comfortable. The staff was friendly, the Wi-Fi worked, the AC blasted, and the coffee was plentiful.
Is it the BEST Kept Secret? Maybe. Will you “Believe This?” Probably… with a grain of salt. But for the price, the location, and the overall experience, this Quality Inn is a solid choice.
My Overall Score: 7.5/10 (Would stay again! But bring your own air freshener.)

Yosemite's Secret Getaway: Unbeatable Merced Deals at Quality Inn!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is my Moriarty, New Mexico, experience, and it's gonna be messy, honest, and probably involve a questionable amount of gas station coffee. Let's see if this Quality Inn can survive me.
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread (aka, the Start)
1:00 PM - ARRIVAL! Oh, the sweet, sweet anticipation. I'd been driving for hours, singing terribly along to 80s power ballads (don't judge, it's a coping mechanism). Pulled into the Quality Inn parking lot, and… well, it's a parking lot. Definitely a parking lot. My hopes for a charming desert oasis were immediately dashed. But hey, AC, a roof, and hopefully some functioning Wi-Fi. That's the dream, right?
- Anxiety Level: 6/10. Was I hallucinating the endless highway?
1:30 PM - CHECK-IN DRAMA. You know how it goes. Found the front desk clerk, a woman with the kindest smile, and a name tag that said "Brenda." Brenda was a gem. Quick and efficient. But the paperwork was a nightmare. I signed my life away, mostly because I desperately needed that room key.
2:00 PM - Room Revelation. Walked into the room. Standard. A little…beige. The furniture: straight out of the 90s. BUT, hey, it was clean-ish. The AC was actually blasting icy air, which was a godsend, and the bed looked like it might be comfortable. I flopped down, sighed dramatically, and considered the meaning of life. The existential dread is starting to creep in.
2:30 PM - Coffee Crisis. Instant coffee in the room. SIGH. Had to be done. It was terrible. Thin, weak, and the creamer…well, let's just say it didn't improve things. Stared at the ceiling. The air conditioning hummed. Am I even awake?
3:00 PM - Reconnaissance Mission: The Area. Decided I needed to actually do something. Strolled around the Quality Inn. Pool…empty. Gym? Looked like it was last used by a pack of tumbleweeds. Wandered through the lobby. Oh god, is that…a complimentary continental breakfast sign? This could get interesting.
3:30 PM - Snack Attack & Gas Station Glory. Needed food. Really needed food. Headed over to the nearby gas station. This is where things got interesting. Bought a bag of chips, a questionable-looking pastry, and a glorious ice-cold bottle of Pepsi. Sat on a bench outside the gas station and watched the world go by. People watching is a great source of entertainment, and it's free. The wind was kinda warm, the sky was expansive, and I realized, despite the somewhat grim surroundings, that I was, in fact, alive and breathing.
- Emotional Rollercoaster: Mostly contentment, slightly concerning pastry decision
5:00 PM - Back to the Room & Netflix & Chill…Sort Of. Found myself back in the beige embrace of my room. Binged a movie in the dim light. Felt surprisingly content. The AC was still humming, and I was starting to accept Moriarty for what it was: a pit stop in the middle of…well, the middle of everywhere.
7:00 PM - Dinner Mishap. Couldn't bring myself to eat the questionable pastry. Walked to the local fast-food joint. Order placed. Wait. Wrong order. Are you kidding me?! Let it go. Ate it anyway. My stomach will probably forgive me… eventually.
8:00 PM - Contemplation of the Universe. Back in the room. Scrolling. Thinking. Staring at the wall. The usual. Wondering if I'll ever escape the clutches of beige.
9:00 PM - Exhaustion Takes Hold. Bedtime. Another day survived.
- Final Anxiety/Emotional Rating: 7/10. Still alive, but I could probably use a therapist.
Day 2: Exploring & Overcoming Expectations (or, trying to)
7:00 AM - The Continental Breakfast…Experience. Okay, buckle up. The complimentary continental breakfast. The moment I was both dreading and anticipating. The sign had prepared me for something beyond magnificent. Arrived at the "breakfast area" to find…well, the usual. Yogurt, stale bagels, prepackaged muffins, and a coffee pot that was the same model as the one in my room. Surprisingly, it was much better than the instant coffee! Got a bagel with some cream cheese. Ate it slowly, trying to find meaning in the simple act of chewing.
- Emotional Reaction: Subdued joy. Survival.
8:00 AM - The Route 66 Pilgrimage Begins. Decided to embrace the local history. Route 66! A famous landmark! Headed out to explore. What I found were more gas stations, a lot of open scenery, and many reminders that time moves slowly.
9:00 AM - The Local Curiosity Shop. Found a quirky shop with vintage stuff! This really made my day. Bought a souvenir, and talked with the owner. It was nice to converse with an actual living human person.
- Actual joy, and a sense of feeling more connected.
11:00 AM - Lunch & Reflection. Found a diner and had a burger. Mediocre, but satisfying. Ate slowly, watching other customers and reflecting on the meaning of my existence.
1:00 PM - Back to the Room & Despair. The afternoon stretched out before me. Back in my beige room. More scrolling. More staring. Does anyone else feel this way?
3:00 PM - The Pool Adventure. Remembered the pool. Decided to risk it. Dramatic music Found a lukewarm pool. Le sigh Got in anyway. Got to sit for an hour and think about nothing but the gentle ripples in the water.
- Emotional Reaction: The calmest I have been in my trip thus far.
4:30 PM - Gas Station Run (Again). Gotta keep the snack game strong.
7:00 PM - Dinner. Restaurant? Or food in room? Food in room.
8:00 PM - Bedtime.
- Final Anxiety/Emotional Rating: 5/10. Feeling…content, in a resigned kind of way.
Day 3: Departure & The Unexpected (aka, Maybe I'll Miss This Place)
- 7:00 AM - Breakfast…Again. The continental breakfast. The circle of life. Today, the coffee was slightly less awful.
- 8:00 AM - Packing & Departure. Packed. Said goodbye to my beige room. Checked out. Brenda smiled. "Have a good trip!" she said.
- 9:00 AM - Goodbye. Got in my car and drove off towards the highway, and I found myself oddly…melancholy. All that beige, the gas station coffee, the existential dread…it was, somehow, comforting. Maybe I'd actually miss this place.
- Emotional Reaction: A weird sense of nostalgia. Wait, did I just…like Moriarty?
- 10:00 AM - Stopped for coffee. Needed a strong dose of caffeine before hitting the highway.
- 12:00 PM - Moriarty Reflections. Drove down the highway. Looked in the rearview mirror. Thought about Brenda, the gas station, and the Quality Inn.
- Final Anxiety/Emotional Rating: 3/10. Mostly okay. It was… an experience.
- 1:00 PM - End. For now.
