The room itself was great, clean and comfy! Unfortunately whoever stays in room 236 above 125, sounded like a loose dog was trying to escape all night. Constant dropping and stomping of things didn’t allow any of us to get much sleep.

Excellent older motel that is well taken care off. Super quite. The ONLY recommendation is to install anti-slip decals in bathtub. As a 83 year old, I had to be extremely careful not to fall.

Bathroom was dirty. Staff were nice. Breakfast was packaged muffins and cereal. $385 for two nights seemed steep for what it offered. Was the last option available for the weekend. Would stay somewhere else if possible.

Budget Inn Ruidoso

Very clean except the shower curtain. Most places seem not to much wash them (maybe need to once a month), but that was all I found disagreeable. Quiet, good location, good price.

Joseph

Disliked: Amenities
It was way too noisy all over on the top on the sides didn’t feel comfortable. Didn’t get any sleep. People were very, very noisy. I guess the owners don’t care how noisy it is because they don’t have to sleep through it. We’ll never go back there again.

Happy in Ruidoso

Just stayed here for 5 days. I would recommend this hotel if your are on a budget. A Little noisy from the Main Street. Very nice new young owners. Close to everything that Ruidoso has to offer.

Would stay here again.

The location and service was excellent. The bed was very comfortable. The room was very small, but it had almost everything I needed. The electrical outlet in the bathroom didn't work and there was no coffee maker in the room.
