“Very average hotel, but an excellent location.”
The hotel's location is excellent, a fifteen-minute drive from White Sands National Park. That's the only real positive aspect. Perhaps you shouldn't expect more for these prices.

The breakfast was different than we would expect. There was a choise of about six meals in Mexican style, and it was fine. The hotel is close to White Sands NP

Spacious and comfortable room. Friendly and helpful staff, who even let us borrow sleds to use on the dunes at White Sands after we'd checked out. Tasty breakfast included – not a huge portion, but surprisingly filling.

“A Welcoming Hotel before visiting White Sands!”
The staff couldn't do enough for us. What amazing employees. Thank you Jesse, Melanie, Heather and Carmen! We enjoyed our room. It was quiet , clean and comfortable. The room could have had a bit more lighting. The complimentary breakfast was very good and the coffee tasty. Great gift shop on site. This is the perfect location for visiting White Sands National Park. I would stay here again for sure
