Super 8 by Wyndham Alamogordo/White Sands

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was extremely nice and helpful when needed. The room was clean and well stocked."

The Lodge at Cloudcroft

4/10 Poor

"Our room was honestly terrible. Thank goodness we'd only booked 2 nights. The counter the coffee maker was on was visibly dusty and one of the mugs had liquids in it still. The sheets and duvet had visible brown and yellow stains. The blankets were pilling. My son's bed had hair on the pillow. He immediately wanted to leave but we got lysol and lysoled it all and were just very careful. The bathroom shower handle to turn on the water was loose and hard to adjust. The wainscoting on a corner of the room was so sharp. My husband hit it the first night in the dark and was bleeding. That needs to be sanded down. We ate at the bar night one and had reservations at the nicer restaurant for the following evening. We all got sick from our food from the bar so canceled our next dining reservation since they share a kitchen. The carpets throughout the property need replaced. The golf course landscaping needed work. I have been coming here for 40 years but it'd been 8 since our last visit and the whole place is just not at all what it used to be. Taking away Rebecca's and removing her from the lobby was a huge mistake. The whole place just feels like an old falling apart gentleman's club now. It's very sad."

SureStay Plus by Best Western Alamogordo White Sands

6/10 Okay

"Not sure why this property has been rated as well as it has. Compared to most current hotels this place is a borderline dump that needs serious upgrades and repairs: tiles peeling away from the wall in the bathroom, seriously corroded bath and sink fixtures, slow sink drain, drab and beaten up exterior. The breakfast was minimal, parking was ok, no clock or phone in the room. The bench seats in the breakfast room were beaten up and sagging"

Grand Cloudcroft Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The hotel itself was excellent!! Very clean and a very cozy cabin feel. But as a Lifetime Diamond Hilton member, I find the staff not as friendly as how the cabin would make you feel. Breakfast was subpar. It says it opens at 07, and finally opened at 0710. The kitchen help was taking his good old time opening and getting things ready. And nothing written that says that you place your order for breakfast. Really? We sat there waiting for like a buffet style. Also, they allow their guests to go to the dining room barefoot!! Isn’t that against OSHA, health standards? Much as I like the hotel itself, will not be returning. Would I recommend? If you’re a mediocre traveler, go for it."

Suburban Studios Alamogordo

4/10 Poor

"We were given SMOKING room which we did not reserve. We asked for extra pillows because the pillows were flat and small. There was burn marks on the carpet and the bed was lumpy with springs moving as we moved around. Day 3 of stay the ceiling in the bathroom started to leak badly. We were moved to another room and asked for NON SMOKING ROOM. This room was in better conditions but it still smelled like heavy smoke. The young girl at the desk was very helpful but the conditions of you rooms is lacking. Behind the door of the second room we moved to looked like it has been punched in on the inside. We do not plan to return."
