If you are visiting White Sands National Park and looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay in Alamogordo, this is an excellent choice. The motel is a family-owned property, and the hospitality from the owners was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, they were warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. You can immediately tell they take great pride in their motel and care about the experience their guests have. The room and entire property were immaculately clean--honestly cleaner than many larger chain hotels we've stayed in. Everything looked freshly painted, well-maintained, and thoughtfully cared for. The landscaping and exterior were also beautifully kept, which made the whole place feel inviting and safe. What makes the White Sands Motel special is the personal touch you only get from a locally owned, family-run motel. Instead of the impersonal feel of big hotels, you feel like a valued guest here. If you're planning a trip to White Sands National Park, Alamogordo, or southern New Mexico, I highly recommend staying here. It's a fantastic family-owned motel in Alamogordo that offers spotless rooms, great hospitality, and a truly pleasant experience. We will absolutely stay here again on our next trip to White Sands National Park

They work great for kids who don't weigh much, but it is much harder for adults. Rooms were clean and beds and pillows pretty comfortable. The hotel in general and the rooms could use some updating/refresh. The furniture is pretty outdated in the rooms. Hooks on the wall would be a nice addition to hang items on. The cookies they put out in the afternoon for free are hard and not fresh. We did use their laundry facilities which were great! Bring quarters and your own soap if you can, but if you can't they do have soap to purchase and can give you quarters if you have cash. WiFi is terrible. An employee working the breakfast area had poor customer service skills and needs more training. When approached about putting more food out that was out, he said "why does everyone come down at 9?"

I was so grateful to have booked ahead, gotten a room where I could "watch" my car (anxiety), and the staff was 10/10.

Upon leaving, I had to deal with some of the circumstances I found myself in on the way to the hotel (again, I'm really blaming Mercury here) and the staff was accommodating af. I can't think of a single bad thing I encountered during my stay. It was the most calm part of my entire trip. Would absolutely stay here again. They even offered sleds for White Sands!!

I have had a bad experience staying in a hostel but my wife had never experienced one before. After some convincing we ended up booking with this hostel, and let me tell you I'm so glad we did! It was a very comfortable stay. Everyone respected everyone. We stayed in a private room and the bed was very comfortable. The hostel is right off the main road but surprisingly it was pretty quiet. We slept with the window open and had no problems. The hostel was very clean and the grounds were very well kept. Stephanie was very nice and communicative with us from the time of booking and throughout or stay. We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended to some friends.

Upon arrival the front desk tried to tell us that we did not have a reservation. The front desk girl (who was nice) called, what I assume was the manager, who argued with us over speaker phone. The manager was rude and giving us attitude saying that we had cancelled our reservation. My husband pulled out our confirmation email and showed it to them. Long story short we ended up with the very last room available. The front desk was unsure the room was even available and had to go up to the room to make sure no one was in it. Once we were finally checked in we realized the pool was out of commission. It said "closed for renovations" but no reno's were in progress. We headed up to our room which looked nice upon first glance but was not nice at all. The tile on the bathroom floor was missing grout and the tile moved around when you walked on it. The shower looked dirty and I didn't even want to put my feet on the tub without flip flops. The air vent looked like it hasn't been cleaned since the hotel opened. The remote to the TV didn't work and again, the room had a dirty feel to it. The only nice part of this hotel is the lobby and its huge fish tank.

Could have been a bit better but could have been a lot worse. I would stay again. All of the staff were just EXCEPTIONAL! Best part of the stay. The woman who checked us in was really friendly and so helpful. Provided us some good recommendations for local restaurants. I'd give her 5/5 stars for service. The room was adequate. The bed spreads were a bit old and stained. It would be nice if the hotel replaced them altogether. The bathroom and vanity were clean and stocked w essentials but the sink had cracks and the mirror frame broken. Not deal breakers but seems like something that would be easily fixable. The beds were comfy though and we had a good nights sleep there so as previously noted it was adequate. Served our purposes. We did partake in the breakfast and it was average in terms of options. Other than a waffle machine, there weren't other hot foods but there were enough workable selections. While there are some tables in the breakfast area, it was small and cramped so we opted to bring breakfast back to the room. If you are looking for an inexpensive stay near white sands and don't mind lack of luxuries, this should meet your needs just fine. Good for short stays.
