Among other reasons, Holiday Inn Expresses are generally better because they're newer.
The one time I passed through Goldfield, a decade or more ago, my eye was caught by what attracts me as much as train stuff does you, a used book store. It was an abandoned school bus with the wheels off and a huge plywood sign sticking up from the roof reading "Books". This unusual housing fit into the Goldfield decor better than any more conventional store would do. I parked and walked in, and found boxes of books in rows sitting on the seats. Seeing me there, the proprietor rushed over from the nearby shack containing a rock shop that he was also proprietor of, and proceeded to talk my ear off all the time I was there, a trait I've found to be pretty consistent among storekeepers in towns that look as if they get about one visitor a week.
Even with a stop at Roswell for the night, you may find that, due to Arizona's perversity in attaching itself to Pacific time for the summer (for that is what it amounts to), an hour's time change on each of two successive days, instead of having a day's break between them, can be debilitating to the degree characteristic of Pac-to-Central plane flights.
