Best Western Discovery Inn

Near Interstate 40, the Best Western Discovery Inn, Tucumcari, New Mexico, offers the amenities travelers expect, with well-appointed rooms and suites, cable television, wireless high-speed internet, a complimentary hot breakfast, an outdoor heated pool, a 24-hour fitness center, full business services, and meeting and banquet facilities. The hotel welcomes pets. The setting puts a dinosaur museum and a community college close by, with boating, sailing, and fishing on a lake about 25 miles off. Route 66 and Cinco de Mayo festivals, a car party, and an air show fill the local calendar. Tucumcari is a beloved stop on old Route 66, a high-plains town in eastern New Mexico famous for its glowing midcentury neon and the colorful murals splashed across its downtown walls. Vintage motel signs still light up the Mother Road after dark beneath a mesa-topped horizon, and the fossils of the Mesalands Dinosaur Museum and a string of nearby lakes give travelers reasons to linger.
