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.

Everything was perfect and I was able to check in late which was a relief. My only problem was the air conditioner was turning on and off and i couldn’t figure out how to make it go normal and I couldn’t sleep as well because of that but overall great experience! I totally recommend this place anyways. They have a big room, super convenient and comfortable, the fridge was big, great stay!

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.

It’s just a basic hotel. It’s clean enough and it did what it was meant to do ~ a basic convenient hotel in Ruidoso. It’s also in a good area convenient to pretty much everything so I like that I would definitely recommend it.

If I had to say one small complaint, it would be the cleaning ladies. They don’t know what indoor voice means lol - they tend to scream at each other. But like my mom used to say if that’s your biggest problem finding another one.

I would definitely recommend this hotel

Clean property and room. Staff was very kind. But the walls are paper thin. I could hear the TV and conversations clearly. They were not being loud or obnoxious. You can just hear EVERYTHING!
The placement of the microwave is in a dark area which made it hard to see the buttons. They have room to add a small pamp on top of the cabinet which would help.

The staff was very helpful and courteous. The room was what you would expect from a \"budget\" hotel. It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. The mini fridge allowed us to keep essentials on hand. The microwave allowed us to cook in the room and save money not having to eat takeout. The absolute best part of our stay was the continental breakfast. The Golden Waffle machine is AMAZING!!!! All the fresh, golden waffles you can eat. I would stay here again just for the waffles! Great stay at a great price.

If you're here, then you're looking for a good deal but are worried about whether this place is somehow bad. While this place won't win any luxury awards, it is totally fine and clean and comfy. I stay here once in a while when on a solo ski run to Ski Apache, and this place works for me every time. It's quiet, not too far out of town, the rooms were remodelled in the last year or two, the heating is good for cold winter days, and the bathroom was clean. I'll keep coming back here.

There was mold in the shower and the window in my room was broken but other than that my stay here was lovely.

Home away from home. I travel a ton for work and frequently stay here. Best place to stay for anytime.

Not like the picture

This is a budget hotel, yes. Grease stained carpet, chips out of the wall, ripped lamp shades, smelly room, men outside my room smoking for hours, then up at 4am blasting music, dog whining.
YUCK! Big sign outside motel saying rooms have been renovated. Mine was not!!

The room was nice and clean. The staff was friendly and breakfast area was nice. TV noise from a neighboring room was audible throughout the night. AC unit was hard to reach.

A friendly greeting, a clean room with a fridge and microwave, snug but comfortable. There is a window AC unit I did not need to turn on. Not much can be done about the thin walls; you definitely hear the neighbors' conversation. There are two entrances to the lodge from Sudderth, both of them tricky to navigate from the busy main road. Even so, would certainly stay here again.

For the price point, it’s difficult to speak too poorly of this motel, but there was a noticeable musty smell in my room, which was fairly unpleasant. It wasn’t mold, but it smelled like the AC filter hadn’t been changed in ages. Beyond that, the room could have been in better shape. There was a broken lampshade in mine.

There were several little black bugs in te ceiling of our room, I tried to get rid of them but couldn’t there were too many. We only stayed one night for the same reason.

The bed was comfortable. The a/c just blew to the closet. The parking was awful, came back after dinner and cars, trucks were everywhere and anywhere they could sqeeze in. I had a paid room but no where to park. I would recommend assigned oarking for room!

I would just like to say, there was an issue but the staff immediately reached out to resolve it. They were very friendly and understanding

The staff were great. The only negative thing I can say is the room is older looking than I expected. The walls need to be painted the bathroom is in much need of renovation. The walls had mold and it smelled of mold. We could not open the bathroom window because there was no screen.

Reviews and property signage indicated rooms had been renovated. I did not find that to be the case at all in the room I occupied. Carpet was dated and stained in a couple places. Room smelled musty. Had to get a room deodorizer from staff. Bathroom had shower tile from the 70's. Bathroom needed some paint as door jambs and lighting switches all were apparently greased stained. AC unit was old and continuously cycled on and off all night. Refrigerator and microwave did look new. It was a last-minute choice, and you get what you pay for in those instances. Because of limited availability in the town the price was increased substantially from the normal rack rate from what I saw online. Owner was nice in the minimal contact I had with him. Would be hard pressed to recommend this property.

Owner/staff friendly. Walls are paper-thin, so heard everything neighbors were talking about. Room smelled musty.

Needs a little more tender love and care. All in all not a bad place to stay in for a weekend.
