Additional Details:
30 spacious air-conditioned units, with ceramic tiled baths, tub and shower combination. Family connecting suites and twin-bed units. Room telephones. Swimming pool. Free TV. Good restaurants near-by. Tucumcari-named from the Mountain Tocom-Kari. Whether fiction or fact, the accepted story is that the mountain (which you see from your doorstep) is named for Kari, the daughter of an Indian Chief, and her lover Tocom. In memory of their love, Wautonomah, her father, named the moutain Tocom-Kari. Later it was changed to Tucumcari for the town of the present day.
