White Sands Area Visit

Trusted the good reviews and booked 2 nights here in late March. Enjoyed the stay, will book again if ever in the area. Facility and room were very clean and well-kept. Felt very safe. Location is central to Alamogordo and a great lock and leave spot to explore the area. Chuck is a very polite and attentive host.

Nice place, would totally stay again

The woman at check in was very nice and informative. Room was small, but clean and cute. All we needed was a clean, decent place to stay for the night, and this was perfect. Cute decor outside, and the table with chairs outside of the room would have made this great for a couple days' stay. Decent, simple breakfast was available for when we hit the road early.

The proprietor is delightfully friendly and helpful. The room is lovely and for being close to the street and shopping and restaurants, I found it to be very quiet. All ground level rooms for easy moving of luggage into the room; thank you!

A good Thai restaurant was right next door that you could walk to, and the motel is very close to other chain restaurants and coffee shops. It’s also 16 min away from White Sands National Park which was perfect for our trip. The room was nice and clean, and there was a little quick breakfast room for the mornings.
