The afternoon and night workers were really friendly and nice. The morning lady was kinda snippy but still since all the other workers were great I’d rate them a 5, they were that good! The store they have on site is pretty cool! The beds are not the most cozy things but do the job. I’d definitely stay again. Good location. Area was safe breakfast was solid. Definitely worth the price

The staff was amazing and the gift shop was cute! The art is amazing buy if you can! The only issue was the WiFi if you are here and have to work you really need to go to the lobby. The pool was clean. Bathrooms are a lil old but not too bad. Loved our stay here overall.

compared to what we got for similar price at other points during our trip, we found this motel average. Room under a staircase next to laundry, swimming pool right on the parking lot with no separation, everything a bit worn out. Not catastrophic at all, but average

It was a nice motel in a good location in Alamogordo with local character. Seems to be located in the middle of town. They had a pool which was great for the kids, though it was packed the night we were there. We were heading out to the white sand dunes national park, and they have those plastic sleds for sledding you can borrow. Be sure to pick up wax for them at the park’s visitor center. Their breakfast, included in the stay, was really good too, hot and made to order.

Our room needed work. Couldn't close the drapes as one side was unhooked so has the bright light from outside shining in the room. The AC made a strange noise. Could use a new bed.
