Top Museum of the Horse Hotel Reviews

Budget Lodge Ruidoso

8/10 Good

"Check in was a bit difficult since they couldn't find our reservation. After getting our room we had trouble finding parking, also our room key was not working because door needed new batteries. Throughout our stay, the parking situation was difficult to manage due to the lack of spaces and some parking spots were occupied by multiple trailers. The shower drain was clogged and the bathroom door was difficult to close and even more difficult to open. I will say the bed was comfortable and the AC was working well as so did the fridge."

Elevate Hotel at Sierra Blanca

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel having never heard of it before. It was very clean and smelled like a Disney resort at least in the lobby. But it didn’t smell bad or musty anywhere. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very large. We got in late so we basically just slept here. The breakfast had a great selection of popular cereals, Oikos yogurts, breads and pastries. They also had miniature waffles, eggs, potatoes and bacon. This was not your average hotel paper thin breakfast bacon, this was actually good bacon. They also offered Starbucks coffee with some flavored codfee surups. The only thing I wish it had was a small table to eat at if we were staying longer since there defrost room. It’s possums rooms have that but ours did not even though it had a separate long room area. We would definitely stay here again."

Bestway Inn

8/10 Good

"It was surprisingly clean inside my bedroom, bathroom, and shower. The bed sheets were clean as well as the pillow covers all four pillows. I removed the top cover I'm sure that never gets cleaned or rarely? My one gripe is the details to the room and the furniture. Very outdated looks old and could have done a better job with the painting. And the breakfast well forgets about it. Go out to eat and at night if you get hungry. Theres a taco truck across the street which was very good."
