Sitzmark Chalet Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in , clean room. Super cute place. Nice products in bathroom. Would stay again! "

High Sierra Condominium

8/10 Good

"Views were beautiful! Very comfortable! We did check in two hours early so our room wasn’t ready, but we still got to check in and everything! The pool was out of service, they said they can arrange for us to go swimming to a Sister place around the block so no big deal on that. AC was super cold on them hot days. The stairway to our condominium entrance was a little Michael Myers creepy, but it was really good to have that memory with our family! Just made it’s something we can always talk about it."

MCM Elegante Lodge & Suites Ruidoso

4/10 Poor

"I had a bad experience. I found my shower broken this morning and don’t have time to wait in maintenance to come. It would not turn on and the handle broke off. There was no soap at the sink and the body wash I tried to use instead was empty. The kitchen aspect of these units has really been cut to an absolute minimum making them kindness."

Budget Lodge Ruidoso

4/10 Poor

"Pros: - Comfy bed - no signs if bed bugs in mattress - Allowed me to upgrade my room from a double to a queen after cancelation/change window - Breakfast had waffles, eggs, cereal, juice, coffee, bread, fruit and muffins. Solid breakfast options. - The water pressure in my room was fantastic. The water gets hot hot, which I like. - Microwave, fridge and table in room. Cons: - Parking: not enough - Walls: thin and you can hear everything. Good luck sleeping without earplugs and sleep aid. It was a struggle to sleep and stay asleep. Both of my neighbors and the people outside made sure I was not getting any until 1 am. - Groups: every time I went out of my room there were multiple groups drinking beer, being loud, and blasting music and any time if the day. Its 23:08 now and its happening everywhere. Again at 5am - Smell: the room has older carpet that has obvious stains that can be cleaned. The room has an overwhelming smell of musk/damp. - Water: tastes and smells weird - Cleanliness: the room did not pass a black light test. Doors were dirty, obviously surfaces were dirty. Ac filled with dust. - AC: my unit does work, sometimes, when it wants. This is a budget space. You can expect travelers, bikers, people who party, long term tenants, and those in trades passing through and working from the hotel. This is not a family friendly hotel. It is best suited for one night stays to or from your destination. Personally I would not recommend."
