White Sands Motel

8/10 Good

"The White Sands Motel was a delightful blast to the past. They did a great job renovating the rooms while maintaining the original character of the place; new carpet, bedding, shower curtain, fresh paint. Rooms are small but super clean and comfortable. Staff was delightful; friendly and welcoming. We would gladly stay here again."

The Classic Desert Aire Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel has very cool southwestern style. The pool was nice and clean. Breakfast was excellent. All the interactions with the staff were very helpful. They keep sleds for white sands in the lobby, no need to buy ahead of time like we did. It is very conveniently located to White Sands national Park."

The Lodge at Cloudcroft

10/10 Excellent

"It is a really lovely Victorian style hotel up in the mountains. Good food, nice bar, lovely grounds, close proximetry to shopping and other amenities. The floors are wooden and creaky, so if you are a light sleeper, ask for a second floor hotel room."
