La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ruidoso Downs

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful time. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was nice. The pool was clean, but the hot tub did not work. The room was nice but was missing a window shade..and there was a bright light outside the window. We made do. Though the hotel was generally clean,there could have been better attention to details, like vacuuming the hall carpet."

Ruidoso Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great price, friendly staff, and exactly what we needed. Just 11 minutes away from Inn of the Mountain Gods Casino and Golf Course."

Sitzmark Chalet Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing. Relaxing amd peaceful. Friendly and helpful staff."

Comfort Inn & Suites Midtown

8/10 Good

"Great staff! Bathtub in room was dirty but overall good stay."

Simple Rewards Inn

8/10 Good

"This hotel is not one of your nicer places, but it’s clean, quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast really needs to start earlier. It starts at 7:00. I’ve stayed here twice and I would stay here again."

Budget Lodge Ruidoso

8/10 Good

"This motel was exactly what I expected for the low price- an older place that could use some updates, but clean and centrally located. Breakfast was supplied, but was very basic- cereal, eggs, make-your-own waffles, mini muffins, and plain coffee. Being on the main drag, road noise was pretty bad, but firing up the in-room a/c fan drowned out most of it through the night. Parking lot entries are a little difficult- one is steep and narrow, the other opens near a busy intersection. I would stay again, if on another m/c trip on my own, but would never dream of bringing my wife here."

Whispering Pine Cabins

8/10 Good
