Super 8 by Wyndham Alamogordo/White Sands

8/10 Good
"If you are on a budget, this is a good place to stay. The bed was comfortable, the pillows were soft, the sheets were decent and the air conditioner was very cold. Parking lot is well lit and it's right next to the sheriffs office so we felt safe. Decent breakfast but nothing special. Mostly clean but dirty in the corners. Some repairs are unprofessional. The room is small. No elevator. If you're just stopping for the night and need a comfortable safe place to stay, this is it."

8/10 Good
"Arriving for a 2-night stay in Aug 2026, I (adult male) mistakenly prepaid online for the wrong dates. The innkeeper promptly called the telephone number of the reservation service and fixed the issue at no extra cost and with a smile. Room and bath were very clean. Linens and bedding are better than comparable motels. Desk, recliner, iron, microwave and fridge were helpful extras. Great ice machine. That said, property is basic with worn, dated common areas and exteriors. Breakfast was very basic--waffles, danish, cereal, yogurt. Motel is good place to sleep-quiet and safe, convenient location. No elevator-every room involves steps to access--its sort of a split-level layout. -Great simple value but not for every traveler."
