TownePlace Suites Roswell, NM – A Marriott in Name Only
We just wrapped up a weekend stay here, and to put it bluntly: I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone unless your idea of comfort is low expectations and high tolerance.
From the moment we walked in, the place felt old, worn-out, and strangely lifeless—like it’s been hanging on by a thread since 2009 and no one’s told it yet. For some reason, this is one of the very few hotels in Roswell that charges for parking—despite being in a town where you could practically land a UFO in the lot and no one would blink.
There are no EV chargers onsite, which in 2025 is just sad. Our room had a fridge that was hotter than the actual room (which is saying something), the walls and floors were so thin we could hear every single footstep, voice, and mystery thud—not just from our stompy upstairs neighbor, but across the hotel like we were in a dorm.
The shower? A relic of the ‘90s. A tiny, slippery tub pulling away from the wall with visible mold—basically a lawsuit waiting to happen. Housekeeping never showed up for either night of our stay, but honestly, we were relieved no one had to come in. Small win.
The front desk staff was polite enough, but…creepy. Not outright rude, just unsettling in that “I’ve seen too many horror movies” way. The hotel is also inconveniently located, sitting further from Main Street than other hotels in the same price range—hotels that are way newer, better maintained, and more pleasant overall.
