The Classic Desert Aire Hotel

This was a great last minute stay for me and my dog! Felt incredibly safe, tasteful and clean rooms, aesthetic exterior, helpful staff, and the included breakfast was incredible. I would bring my family back here!

The staff was amazing! They treated us like family. You’re going to enjoy the delicious made to order breakfast burrito!

I appreciated the family feel and personal communication from the staff. They have a gift of hospitality and made sure my visit was successful. Breakfast was outstanding!

We stayed for 2nighta for spring break. Property is not clean and I do not recommend for family travelers. We saw two roaches on day1 itself and washroom has NO went and it's all smelling inside. We choose this hotel b cause of 8.2 rating and got in trap. I DO NOT recommend this hotel for family with children.

This hotel was a very reasonable price. We booked two rooms for our family. One was more updated with tile floors. The second had carpet and a smell that was not bad, but that my wife associated with old hotels. The rooms were fairly clean, but had some aging. The staff was very friendly. We were able to borrow some sleds from the hotel which saved us a ton of money! The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order, but the whole process took about 1.5 hrs (likely because they were short staffed) and the portions were not very big.

You won’t find a better bang for your buck when visiting White Sands National Park! The rooms themselves are no-frill, but they’re not really what you’re here for - The location is excellent, they have plenty of sleds and wax available to borrow free of charge, and a small dining room with hot breakfast. The staff were all super friendly, too. Tip if traveling with young children: bring a foot stool, as the beds and counter in our room were very tall!

We love supporting a local business. This is a family owned and operated hotel, and you can tell they take pride in it. The check in was so quick and easy, and so nice that they are pet friendly. Yes, there is wear and tear on the building and rooms, but that does not take away anything from this hotel. The beds were very comfortable, and the comforters were so soft and cozy. We felt very safe here. We were in a hurry, and skipped the breakfast, but they make it to order for you to enjoy in their space, or even on the go. I’m sad I missed out on the sausage gravy. We will for sure stay here again when in the area.

Family owned Very nice and accommodating. Only one lady working there, that was not very social for being in customer service . don’t think she was family.

This is a family run motel. It's native American, Southwest theme fits this area. It is a clean motel with great staff. The room was very clean with a comfy bed. The hot breakfast was good. The lobby store has lots of nice artisan pieces from local artists.

The hotel is strategically placed within such highly attractive areas as White Sands NP, The Museum of Space History, Ruidoso resort area, Cloudcroft trails system. It is dog friendly and is very clean. Our family staid with a dog in Dec-2023 Christmas time and enjoyed 3 seasons - winter in the mountains (Cloudcroft), autumn pine forests (Ruidoso lower elevations), and beautiful sunset at White Sands. Stuff is very friendly and welcoming; they do room price match. Breakfast is very good and inclined to a restaurant type of service. Reception/shop facility is neat and atmospheric with Indian gorgeous pieces of art to look at / purchase. We firstly wanted stay just a one night during our road trips but decided for one more night. Highly recommend!
