Ruidoso Motels | Places to Stay in Ruidoso

April 21, 2023 Randal Brittian

Situated ideally at the center between the Lincoln National Forest to the south and the northeast and the Valley of Fires State Park to the northwest, Ruidoso is a still-sleepy mountain town despite its recent growth and popularity with tourists. The majestic Sierra Blanca towers over the city, tempting snow bunnies to the slopes of nearby Ski Apache. The race track at Ruidoso Downs and the casino at the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort promise chance and adventure of a different sort.

Relax on the front lawn during a summer evening on a porch swing while watching the hummingbirds, or unwind after a day on the slopes in our unique outdoor barrel sauna.

Like a really good B&B at reasonable price...happy we stayed here

We spent almost a week here in April. Room was comfortable with microwave and refrigerator. As one commentator said, room could use better lighting, but lighting was adequate and everything else was so good that this was easily overlooked. Bathroom had large shower with fresh smelling soaps and thick towels. Room windows opened to a shaded courtyard with picnic tables, several benches and other seating areas that we enjoyed plus a sauna that looked good, too.. Every morning, 3 types of freshly made muffins and high quality flavorful coffee were available in the lobby area. Staff were all pleasant. Parking lot was very convenient for access to our room. Inn decor was unique, pleasant with a ski emphasis. Bonus: prices were reasonable, windows opened to a pleasant hallway and outside, and inn had a great ice machine. We would choose this Inn again.

This is an older motel/hotel. There needs to be some general upkeep done, but overall it was very good. It was very clean, and the rooms were very comfortable. The tv was small for the room size. Breakfast was very nice, hot options, eggs, sausage, etc. people were very nice. Just an older property, but nice and clean!!!

Don’t stay here no matter what

Staying here is the equivalent to sleeping on a strippers stage. Dirty smelly and makes you feel unsafe. You be better off taking that dumpster outside, at least you would get breakfast out of the deal.
