"Always enjoy the Ruidoso area! Property could use a facelift but room was clean. Staff was helpful and courteous. Standard free motel breakfast; cereal, Costco muffins, make your own waffle, juice machine and coffee. Motel is located on the main street through Ruidoso, so road noice was a little annoying until midnight or so. Nice place for a 2-3 night stay or for just passing through."
