Billy the Kid Country Inn

I have not stayed at Billiy the Kid Country Inn but still highly recommended it. I called this past Tuesday to get a room in late May but they were booked for my desired time. Ms. Elaine (I hope the spelling is correct) told me she would call back by Friday if there was a cancelation. She did call back Friday evening to tell me there had not been any cancelations. There are not many businesses that would have made the effort to call back. She is a woman of her word. During our two conversations I think I learned more about the Lincoln County War than I could have found in any library.

What a great place to stay. I stayed the night on my way to Sturgis Bike Rally. I arrived late and Elaine gave me a great room!! I was hungry and asked where to eat. Elaine called the burger joint down the road, Which was about to close. She had them stay open and make me a burger. Elaine went out of her way to make sure I was happy. The room was clean and comfortable. It was what I needed after a long ride. I will most definitely be back someday. She had great stories and knew all about the history of the area. Elaine I wish you the best, and hope you make it to see the ocean someday!! Thank you for your hospitality!!

Clean and Comfortable are the first descriptions that come to mind but both are in a in a cut throat race with Friendliness because all three are overly abundant. The chieftain of the Inn Elaine has an iron word and I don't know how she holds it all together with no help or employees but she does. This place is better than some very well known hotels we've stayed at in the past and will certainly be back when we are in the area.

We are bicycle touring and could not camp tonight because of the weather. Upon arrival Elaine walked through the impeccably clean room to make sure it was alright before we paid. She was a treat to talk to and a wealth of knowledge of this town. She has been running this inn for 44 years and it’s been in the family for generations. Stay here and support local business!! If you stay here and get breakfast from The Daily Grind (a delicious meal in a cozy quaint setting), it’s still less money than the larger hotel across the street. Endless coffee is served in the morning and the room has microwave and refrigerator. I particularly enjoyed my bath, the back wall of the tub was sloped just right! Stay here!!

This place is the absolutely awesome. Come early stay late. I’ve stayed in a lot of places with work and travel a lot in different areas and I just love places like this. Locally owned and operated with great customer service. Yes it’s a no smoking and no pets place and it’s awesome. Very clean, friendly & knowledgeable and the owner makes you feel like a part of the family. Very budget friendly (way under priced for the charm & Cleanliness). This is definitely gonna be my regular stop when traveling through the area. If you ever just want to get away and take a drive through the area you should definitely stay here. Ive stayed in a lot of mainstream places that you think “I should wear shoes or socks while walking around”, this is not like that. Ya it’s a little older place but it’s CLEAN and a 1/3 the price and well worth it. Definitely a thumbs up.

Never stayed here. However I called to see if they had a room available for the tonight 6/3/25 and unfortunately they do not. The nice lady that answered the phone was very informative and very sweet. She was very helpful in trying to find us other accommodations she even informed me that most of the restaurants closed at 9pm. I'm a little disappointed we can't stay but I'm sure we will back this way sometime in the future and we will be staying here.

Hi, I can not express enough at how much I appreciate this business and the service(s). I have stayed on countless occasions and it gets better and better each time. I have stayed at other accommodations in town, they were ok, but this particular Country Inn takes you back to the charm, service and appreciation that Hotel business once had and displayed. The business is privately owned, therefore you get the special attention a person often times needs. Thankyou again for the many stays and I truly look forward to visiting the area accompanied with the wonderful accommodations. I will say this also, Elaine knows the area very, very well and is native to the town. She really loves her town and the history that surrounds it. Thank you Elaine!

Hands down this is the Best Western museum I've ever been in. It's got it all from guns that won the West. Wardrobe in a tire is the time. The tools and amenities that are available at the time. It's beautiful it's perfect it's old and new. Run by some wonderful very intelligent people. The true diamond in the dessert.
