MCM Elegante Lodge & Suites Ruidoso

MCM Elegante Lodge & Suites Ruidoso

4/10 Poor
"Crazy kids running everywhere including the golf course. The place could use facelift. The bbq area had used tongs and a wasp nest. The pictures were way better than what you get. The best part was the guy making omelette and the walk with the elk and the mattress. Someone stayed next to us with a child or dog that was running up the halls and in the room for hours. Also very angry dog in the stairwell. Not pleasant experience for the first time in the area."
