This is a somewhat quirky, but pleasant place to stay in Ruidoso - better than most motels designated as “budget.” If staying when nights are quite chilly and you plan to arrive after dark, ask that your room be “preheated.” Our room was freezing when we arrived and it took awhile to bring it up to a tolerable temperature with the gas heater in the room. The gas heater is quite effective and is controlled by a thermostat. The room is carpeted; bathroom is tiled. It is clean and pleasant. The water is hot. There was no bathroom cabinet, but there was a mirrored medicine cabinet for our toiletries. No maid service unless requested. Breakfast was good and included the ubiquitous waffle maker and scrambled eggs. I thought the eggs were much better than in most (h)(m)otels. It’s a decent value for Ruidoso.

You get what you pay for.
For the money it was ok. Room was dusty behind tv stand, end table, bed, nothing dusted . Not so good pillows just 2. We booked an extra day never got room service. I put trash and dirty towels at door, were never picked up. Husband went and threw trash got more clean towels.

Very clean except the shower curtain. Most places seem not to much wash them (maybe need to once a month), but that was all I found disagreeable. Quiet, good location, good price.

Clean for the price
The room was clean though there was a hole in the floor by the bathroom wall. The bathroom was very small and oddly arranged with the toilet paper a bit far from the toilet. It was not dirty and no bids on our stay.

Was good overall but had a strange smell in the room that was very deeply imbedded… also, the tv is placed the wrong way so it’s not possible to watch tv. You should mount it on the wall please.
