We love staying at the retro White Sands Motel when we are in Alamogordo!! The owners are so nice! The rooms are quiet and clean. The grounds are cute with a retro neon sign and pink flamingos. The property is safe with multiple restaurants within walking distance. And they serve a nice continental breakfast (with regular sized yogurts). We will be back again!

STAY HERE!! You'll love it. ❤️
Place was very easy to find. Staff was warm and welcomed us with open arms. We had the family suite and can fit up to 6 people.they had plenty of parking and our room was super easy to locate. Breafast says 7am but is closer to 715am. They serve a simple continental breakfast of muffins, bagles, cereal, yogurt, milk, and juices. Coffee was available too. It's only a 15 minute drive to White Sands National Park. They had saucers availble for us to borrow. Dutch Bros coffee, wingstop, starbucks, dunkin donuts, sonic, walmart are within 2 miles if you need anything. We woild DEFINITELY stay here again.

We like to support local business owners as much as we can. This motel has gotten so many great reviews that it felt like a natural choice. It’s in a great location for easy access to the National Park. The owners are friendly and they take pride in this property.

The place was clean and safe. However the mattress was not good at all. One side of the queen bed was comfortable but the other side was hard and I felt as though I would fall out of the bed.

Tho motel itself was nice, clean and the staff were wonderful. This is an older motel that has been refurbished nicely. The only concern is there is neighboring property that is rundown. No fault of the owners of this motel. Good value.

Nice little motel.
Our room was pretty small, but we only needed it for a night's rest. Bed comfortable, room clean. Location is good near the south end of town, lots of nearby restaurants. I'm unable to review the breakfast, we were in a hurry to move on in the morning. Would stay again.

This place is terrific. Right out of the 1950’s. Terrific staff, super clean room, very helpful front desk. I couldn’t love it any more! I wish your site let me upload a pic… cause I want to.

We enjoyed our stay and our interactions with the owners. The motel is wonderfully maintained and a fun experience of vintage Americana. There are several of the usual hotel chains in town but we were very pleased with our choice and the charm and character of our time at the White Sands Motel. The beautiful vintage neon lights out front, reminiscent of the heyday of Route 66 (though this is not on Route 66, of course) for me are a fitting shorthand for the enjoyment of our stay.

If you’re looking for that 1950s vibe, then this is the place! A piece of Americana in easy walking distance of some restaurants (and Starbucks). Helpful owner and good A/C while it’s 110f outside! Bring your own soap and shampoo.
