We really enjoyed our stay there for 2 nights while we visited White Sands. Breakfast was fantastic! So much better than other places we've been. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Thank you for loaning us 2 sleds for the dunes. Lastly I appreciate all the sniff and potty places for my dog. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness
The staff was friendly and the breakfast was nice—small, but quality was better than the standard continental breakfast. Our curtain didnt stay closed entirely so we had to MacGyver something with hair clips to keep in shut for privacy. General cleanliness of our room could’ve been better—clumps of hair on the floor, dust on the shelving, and—most concerning—mold on the door hinges in the bathroom.
