Ray's Den Motel

405 n. edwards, 760 878-2122.

The Winnedumah, on 395, is a historic motel and is charming. Rooms can be a bit small. Some share a bath, some have private baths. There is a prix-fixe dinner some nights, and a "cocktail hour" where your first glass of the house wine is free. Cooking is quite good. There is also breakfast moderately priced.
