MCM Elegante Lodge & Suites Ruidoso

8/10 Good

"Room is worn especially the bathroom needs some TLC rm 144. The beds are to soft for my liking. The breakfast was one of the best we've had in a long time every thing was fresh and delicious especially the red chile. The breakfast staff were great."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ruidoso Downs

6/10 Okay

"I didn’t feel safe with the active construction going on in the room just a few doors down from me. I could smell chemicals in the hallway and there was a carpet folded over in the hallway creating a tripping/falling hazard and without any warning or signs nearby."
