Top Ruidoso Hotel Reviews

Casey's Cabins

8/10 Good

"Cute and clean little place for a layover."

High Sierra Condominium

8/10 Good

"The facility is dated and in need of repair. The surrounding area is littered with trash and discarded building materials. The views were mostly nice however we recommend checking with the property manager regarding room location. A lot of kids being loud staying in the room directly below. Not the most relaxing get away we had hoped for."

Canyon Cabins

4/10 Poor

"The check-in process was good, however the cabin is very outdated, and this is still ok. The bad thing was sheets were not clean we found hair, food, and even a sock in them. The towels are very old. Good thing I always take my own sheets and towels. The cabin had a smell, it was also very dusty, not cleaned well at all. That was what bothered me the most. Won’t be staying there again."
