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."
