Driving in between Roswell and Ruidoso we stopped at the Silver Dollar, walking in we were quite…read moresurprised at the elegant western setting. The building is drenched in intriguing history that the staff was happy to share. Very cool atmosphere. Tables were clothed and set in a traditional way, with fine glasses and plates and silverware. We stopped in for Sunday breakfast, and while there wasn't a large menu of choices, the choices available were traditional New Mexican breakfast choices. I chose the Silver dollar Omelette, which had three eggs, Steak, and green chili and cheese. It also came with Ranch style potatoes. The potatoes were perfectly fried to a crispy golden bite sized spud, just how I like them. The Omlette was great, the steak came from the ranch of the business owner, so it's local beef. That's big for me. The green chili was roasted and included in mixed with the cheese and other misc. peppers. I would have preferred it served smothered in a green chili sauce, or salsa, but that's just a personal preference that I enjoy with typical New Mexican breakfasts. I had some samples of the biscuits and gravy plate, and pancakes. It's easy to see that their entire menu is made with fresh ingredients and doesn't rely on preservatives like you may expect for a restaurant so far from a major town. Prices are very fair for breakfast and the quality of food far surpasses the point of justification, Which is so rare in the post Covid environment.

We met Brenda who warmly welcomed us and gave us an awesome tour of the grounds while we waited for Chef Woody to make our burgers. This is a restaurant with a full bar, next to a general store (that is sadly closed currently due to staffing issues), with two bedroom suites available for booking. They book for events and the grounds outside looks perfect for a wedding. I can vouch for our burgers being the best thing I'd eaten eaten all day and only regret we didn't get to visit again on our way home. This is a diamond in the desert, and a great find for anyone who enjoys antiques and local history!

Oh my good morning!!! I never went hungry! And the bar in the evening will serve up some chicken wings or pizza. If you are looking for something else, you can peek in the gift shop for some soda or chips; or go to one of the restaurants in town for dinner. I was here are part of a conference. So the conference rooms, the av, the catering for the event, all amazing!! I'd recommend this hotel and conference venue to anyone. I hope to go back and bring my family.

Ruidoso Lodge Cabins, oh how I would love to go back!…read more While we were there, we stayed in one of the Hidden Canyon cabins, which was so wonderfully remote. Tucked away between the foothills of the mountains, we got to experience a peaceful, quiet long weekend. There are only two other cabins on the road that ours was on, so the quietude really was palpable. In the mornings (we got up before our neighbors, apparently) it felt like we were the only two people in the whole world. Even though it was chilly, we would go out on the deck to enjoy our morning coffee (for him) and tea (for me) while listening to the creak of the trees, the chirp of birds, a distant woodpecker hunting for breakfast... it was just so lovely. Actually, the in-your-face nature reached a whole other level when we had a moment interacting with the local deer population. We were on our way to the car to head towards town, when we suddenly realized that there was a herd of deer wandering towards us. Not wanting to scare them with the car door sounds, we just stopped and stood completely still. We had expected them to just continue on their way, but they actually decided to stop and check us out. A few of them actually came right up to us and (I swear, I couldn't make this up!) licked our hands! (For the "pics or it didn't happen" people out there, please do see the pictures I've uploaded. Told you-- I couldn't make this up!) Regarding the cabin itself-- the amenities were everything we could have hoped for. The kitchen was immaculately cleaned and ready for us to make a meal in, the bathroom was lovely with its skylight and river stone shower, and the bed... well, it might have been just about the most comfortable bed the husband and I had ever slept in. Not kidding! Honestly, I can't do this place any justice by writing about it. You'll just have to go take a look at the pictures, or better yet, go stay for a weekend yourself! It really is an amazing experience.

I am writing this to express my disappointment and frustration regarding my family's recent stay at…read morethis hotel. We traveled from out of state for a family vacation and specifically chose to stay at this hotel to support a local business rather than a large franchise. One of the reasons we selected this property was because it openly promotes itself as a pet-friendly hotel. We also paid the required pet fee for our dogs, with the understanding that they would be welcomed as long as we followed your policies. which we have. Throughout our stay, we were repeatedly told that complaints were being made about our dogs being noisy in our hotel room. This was very concerning, as we have never had issues with our dogs at any hotel in the past. They are well-behaved, quiet, and sleep in their kennels when we are away from the room. Our dogs were also with us for the majority of the day and were not left unattended for extended periods of time. The only incident that occurred was when a room cleaner knocked on our door, which caused our dog to growl, which is a natural response to an unexpected knock. Our dog did not bark, and the situation was quickly resolved. This isolated moment does not justify repeated complaints or accusations of ongoing noise disturbances. Despite paying a pet fee and following proper procedures, we were made to feel as though our dogs were not actually welcome. We were effectively made to feel that our dogs should not be left alone in the room at all, even while properly kenneled, which is unreasonable for a hotel that actively advertises itself as pet-friendly. What is even more troubling is the unprofessional conduct displayed by the manager, Michael Lopez. He instructed one of his employees to notify someone from our room yet again about these alleged complaints, and that person happened to be my 15-year-old son. Addressing a minor regarding a guest complaint is completely inappropriate and unacceptable. Any communication regarding concerns should have been directed to an adult.Because of the repeated accusations, the inconsistent treatment regarding your pet-friendly policy, and the stress this situation caused our family, we have decided to end our stay early and will be leaving one day ahead of our scheduled departure. This is not how we expected our family vacation to end, and it is extremely disappointing. We made a conscious decision to support a local hotel, expecting better customer service and professionalism. Instead, we were met with repeated accusations and poor judgment from management. I am beyond disappointed and disgusted by how this situation was handled. I hope this complaint is taken seriously and that appropriate steps are taken to address the unprofessional behavior and inconsistent enforcement of policies so future guests are not treated the same way.
