Everything was excellent.
Didnt know the shower and hot tub were one and im not crazy about any kind of tub. The only thing that was inconvenient
Staff was excellent. Area was beautiful and safe.
We come through Ruidoso at least once a year. It’s a great place to stay. We normally stay at another hotel and wanted to try something different. This was perfect. The facility is great, the staff was friendly and the area was quiet. We will be back.

Very nice. Comfortable and clean. Quiet, but close to the Main Street. Room has everything you need.
Super friendly staff, amazing location, and an overall phenomenal option to stay in Ruidoso. Bed was very comfortable, room was super clean and the place was peaceful and quiet. 100% recommend!
Hotel was very nice and comfortable. Excellent decor for a mountain retreat. Only complaint I have is the tv was smaller and older. Roku is not the best but we made it work. Definitely recommend this place to our friends and family
This is the best place I’ve stayed at in ruidoso hands down and we visit A LOT. The staff was soooo nice, everything was clean, it was the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in, beautiful outside are to sit. 10000/10
Fantastic, lodge, room was everything that was advertised. The picture of the room was exactly what we walked into. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We have found a little hideaway in Ruidoso that we will be coming back to when we visit our relative.
