Top Ruidoso Hotel Reviews

Budget Lodge Ruidoso

Budget Lodge Ruidoso

8/10 Good
"This motel was exactly what I expected for the low price- an older place that could use some updates, but clean and centrally located. Breakfast was supplied, but was very basic- cereal, eggs, make-your-own waffles, mini muffins, and plain coffee. Being on the main drag, road noise was pretty bad, but firing up the in-room a/c fan drowned out most of it through the night. Parking lot entries are a little difficult- one is steep and narrow, the other opens near a busy intersection. I would stay again, if on another m/c trip on my own, but would never dream of bringing my wife here."

"The property around the cabins is really nice! I know it’s a cabin, but they’re not as clean as I’d like. There were a few things. But other than that. It was a very nice experience."
