I don’t understand why this property had such good reviews. The woman at the check in desk was very rude. No soap was provided for the sink. The carpet and the chair were stained. There were dead bugs in the light fixture and hair on the floor in the bathroom. However, the bedding was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Very noisy room.
Once again, I believe, the front desk sees that we booked through Hotels.com and gave us a terrible room location. This time the closest room to the freeway. Very, very noisy. This has been a pattern for the last year when booking through you. Quite disappointed.

The included breakfast options were very good. The location is incredibly convenient to White Sands National Park, the Space History Museum, and other attractions in the area. The hotel is being remodeled so all of the rooms are updated and comfortable.

Everything was great about the hotel and my room. Breakfast would have been great because they make you a to-order meal. But, they only had one staffmember working the breakfast room. She was taking orders AND making the food. People waited 45 minutes before getting their food. I could not wait. I hope they get more staff. The menu looked quite good.

Overall pleasant stay.
Room was comfy The bed had crumbs on it. Checkin staff was excellent. The room’s ac wasn’t working well and the front desk took care of it right away sending maintenance. The pool was freezing cold—we couldn’t get in it. Overall it was a pleasant trip. A nice breakfast is included

Nice place! Would stay again. Allowed us to borrow sleds for White Sands. Nice large mini fridge in the room and nice big towels in the bathroom. Quiet. The pool was clean. John was very nice at check in, and the breakfast was warm and good.
