"This will be our go to place to stay from now on!! We have stayed at another condominium in Cloudcroft (dirty, dusty and not friendly) and a few different hotels in Ruidoso and around Ruidoso and we were definitely impressed with Crown Point! This place was clean, around the same price as hotels in the area, private, beautiful views and all the staff we seen were nice. It's close enough to downtown, yet, far enough to not be bothered by traffic noise. We had a large group for a 70th birthday gathering. Family members rented their own condos for each of their family groups. Some needed 3 bedrooms, some only needed 2 bedrooms. We had around 30 people. We had children, teens, young adults and seniors. Everyone was happy! I highly recommend Crown Point. We all agree, we will be back!"
