It’s ok
It was ok, but the people in next room were loud. The room smelled of curry. The bathroom was cold no heat or at least heat lamp.The saying, “you get what you pay for”

Bang for your buck!!
You will get your money's worth. These days you can never find a room under $100 that is decent. This one is exceptional! If you don't plan on being in the room for majority of your trip, then this one's for you! There's free breakfast and you can park in front of your room. The place is safe and secure!

This is a somewhat quirky, but pleasant place to stay in Ruidoso - better than most motels designated as “budget.” If staying when nights are quite chilly and you plan to arrive after dark, ask that your room be “preheated.” Our room was freezing when we arrived and it took awhile to bring it up to a tolerable temperature with the gas heater in the room. The gas heater is quite effective and is controlled by a thermostat. The room is carpeted; bathroom is tiled. It is clean and pleasant. The water is hot. There was no bathroom cabinet, but there was a mirrored medicine cabinet for our toiletries. No maid service unless requested. Breakfast was good and included the ubiquitous waffle maker and scrambled eggs. I thought the eggs were much better than in most (h)(m)otels. It’s a decent value for Ruidoso.

It is an older property, recently remodeled. Reminded me of travels with my folks to the area in the 60's. It was clean and the water was hot for my shower. I have stayed at the 2 'Resorts' in the area on previous trips, not sure how much I benefitted from their services. I will use this place on future trips. Please to see they accept dogs. I had to check out a day early and its was easily done. My only issue was breakfast. It was starches, mostly wheat: cereals, waffles and breads, it was ok.

You get what you pay for.
For the money it was ok. Room was dusty behind tv stand, end table, bed, nothing dusted . Not so good pillows just 2. We booked an extra day never got room service. I put trash and dirty towels at door, were never picked up. Husband went and threw trash got more clean towels.
