Top Museum of the Horse Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ruidoso Downs

8/10 Good

"We’re just an overall day room was clean and the breakfast was good"

Quality Inn Ruidoso

10/10 Excellent

"Good for this area."

Simple Rewards Inn

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."

High Sierra Condominium

10/10 Excellent

"2 bedroom 2 bath on the first floor. Clean but could use an upgrade as it was musty in smell. The patio sliders were hard to open and close. Also, we swear it was haunted. Otherwise a good deal for the price."

Best Western Plus Ruidoso Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff very friendly . Miss Rose very kind and friendly. The jacuzzi jets not working would have been a plus to our relaxation.Breakfast was regular continental tye. Good options"

Ruidoso Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean very nice workers"

Bestway Inn

8/10 Good

"Overall, especially for the price, it was a very good experience. Only minor distractions kept it from receiving a 5 star rating. The towels supplied (two) for two residents were too small and thin to effectively dry off after a shower. The pillows were thin and a bit stiff, the soap supplied was just about as small as you can get. I would stay there again, but I’d bring my own towels, soap and pillows. The metal wardrobe was rickety, and had dried paint on it from the last time the room was painted. The hosts were polite, and very accommodating."

Travelodge by Wyndham Ruidoso

10/10 Excellent
