"The place was absolutely beautiful, big and spacious for everyone and the pool table was definitely used everyday of our stay! The only issues we had with the stay was the lack of communication from the owner, the couch wasn’t in the best condition due to two sides being broken, there was a cabinet in the kitchen that looked like someone kicked it in and hadn’t been fixed and none of the tvs in the room had cable or worked.

MCM Elegante Lodge & Suites Ruidoso

10/10 Excellent

"We were very happy with our room and the complimentary breakfast was one of the best I've had in a hotel setting. The service provided during breakfast was also first-rate as employees were eager to be helpful. Our only negative experience was that we had people in the room directly above us that were doing a lot of jumping up and down, almost as if they were playing a basketball game up there. Thankfully, the noise only lasted a few minutes. Overall, though, we had an enjoyable stay and we would not hesitate to go back again."
