del sol

 

The sun no longer shines so brightly on the Del Sol Motel.  What once must have been a great motor court with Spanish style has been reduced to apartment "rooms to rent" but with only one or two with parked cars (and BBQ grills and lawn chairs!)  The Del Sol's location was once great -- right downtown with the action-- but today's passing tourists, if they stay in Carrizozo, choose one the four more modern (relatively) motels on Highway 54. Convenience usually trumps character!
