Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Alamogordo Hwy 54/70 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was great from Nicholas checking us in. The pool and spa, and the room was practically brand new. Everything smelled so fresh and clean. The breakfast was top-tier. It even had gluten-free options. Everything was stocked and cooked amazingly. Not what I expected from a stay in Alamogordo, it exceeded some of my big city stays in top-tier hotels."

White Sands Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay! Outdated but was good for one night"

The Lodge at Cloudcroft

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful, well maintained property. It is spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. My only complaint is that there is no elevator and no one available to help with luggage and it was extremely difficult for me an older woman to drag my luggage up to the third floor."

"Peace & Quiet", Nature's Retreat, 50 yds from Trailhead, Wildlife Galore

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful home had everything you needed. Stairs were a bit of a problem for me as I have a shoulder injury. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you Kelly."

Cloudcroft Hideaway - No Neighbors, Just Nature! Modern Cabin Vibe and SAUNA!

10/10 Excellent

"4 Oaks Cabin is an absolutely wonderful mountain retreat, and I give it 10-stars: From the beautifully designed cabin and thoughtful décor to the magnificent fireplace, plentiful firewood, fully stocked kitchen, and the sauna we used every evening, every detail feels carefully considered. The cabin was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and we loved cooking there nearly every night. Set high in the Lincoln National Forest and surrounded by magnificent Ponderosa pines, the setting is truly breathtaking. We spent 10 days there in mid-August, and each evening we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the cool mountain air—sweater weather in August! At night, the sky was spectacular, with more stars than we ever see from Dallas, TX including several shooting stars. There are so many hiking trails nearby and each one different and has something special to offer. We also loved the scenic drive into the charming town of Cloudcroft, which we made several times and never tired of—the 25–30 minute drive along the meadows and mountains. Our visits in Cloudcroft included visits to The Lodge for coffee and Kahlúa, and of course we had to try Mad Jack’s BBQ, which was well worth the long wait and they are rated #7 in the nation on Yelp. What we loved most, though, was the peaceful seclusion of 4 Oaks Cabin: you truly feel away from everything, yet Cloudcroft and trailheads are an easy drive when you want to explore. The hosts were also wonderful—kind, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive"

Luxury Glamping in High Rolls Mountain Park, NM Stunning Views & Modern Comforts

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time. The place was clean, and there were clear instructions on how to use everything. Having air conditioning was lovely."

Fairfield Inn & Suites Alamogordo

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was good, with plenty of options. Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn't able to be used at the time and the room phone didn't work. But the front desk staff were all super nice and helpful. Our itinerary said our check in was at 3pm, the hotel had changed that to 4pm a few months before. They got us checked in at about 3:10pm, as soon as the room was available. The room was clean, with very nice amenities. Coffee, with bottled water! Even makeup wipes, which was great, as I forgot to pack mine. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again."

Amazing and Cozy King-Queen Bed Suites w/RV Parking

8/10 Good

"The home was beautiful and very comfortable, however the dishes were all dirty and the floors were dirty. But overall the host was very friendly and we enjoyed our stay."

White Sands Retreat|Indoor Pool|Minigolf|Game Rm

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very spacious with a beautiful deck facing the city and an amazing pool! The breezeway in the front was a great place to sit and enjoy the evening!"
