The staff member at check-in was kind and efficient. The building was older but well kept up and clean. Basic breakfast (cereal, fruit, yogurt, bagels, etc.) was good. Plus, they had sleds and wax that we could borrow for our trip to White Sands National Park.

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.
