Great hotel! They’re in the middle of renovations so there’s some dust here and there, but our room was excellent and the staff was exceptional! They are very pet friendly (especially dogs) and the breakfast is standard short-order fare with some tweaking by the cook. My only “complaint” is that the bathroom needs better ventilation. We’ll definitely stay there again the next time we’re in Alamogordo!
