However, it was a goal to check out the lodge so that I could attest to others on its history. Emily at the front desk was so nice as well as the manager. They allowed me to walk the hotel, have coffee and cookies, take in the historic site and relax. I asked could I see one of the rooms since online the pictures were great and they have kept the original look and feel. the manager said he had step better than a standard room. He handed me a key to look at the Governors suite (see video). I returned the next day after hiking to have lunch and peruse the gift shop. Prices are a little higher, however the food is pretty amazing. I split a burger and chips. Food is great in the bar area. Dinning opens in evening but requires reservations. Pets are allowed for Small fee There is a golf course across the parking lot. Majestic views and well kept greens. don't be surprised but if you find yourself golfing around the deer, elk or wild horses. If you're lucky, you may see snow which makes all that much more beautiful. There is rich history of the lodge hanging in the walls and in areas to read upon. This used to be timber country and the original lodge burned down years and years and years ago. While at the Lodge check out Cloudcroft museum to take in all the history that included the Lodge, baby sanatorium and 1st Calvary visits, where it all started this beautifully small town.

Oh my gosh. What a super cool hotel!…read more Sky Lodge vibes abound. Rooms are super clean, bathrooms are big, beds are spacious and incredibly comfy. Loved our stay here and if we're ever in the area, we'll definitely be back. They serve breakfast also but we didn't get up in time as these beds are just so wonderfully comfortable that we all slept in a bit too late on both days. This is probably one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at. Don't miss out!

I would give it a 3.5 star review…read more The hotel is pretty basic, the rooms are simple, nothing luxurious but it's a place to sleep. The showers in the rooms are nice though, very roomy. The breakfast they serve was pretty good too, they had sausage patties, country potatoes, scrambled eggs and biscuits and gravy. Although I live in Cloudcroft, every so often my husband and I like to rent a hotel and take a break from our kiddos, haha. I've stayed in this hotel twice and the pricing has always been around $130-$170 a night, with military discount. They do charge you a deposit also, I believe it's an extra $100 that you will get back after your stay. I personally prefer staying at Dusty Boots simply because it's usually cheaper and the rooms have more character but they don't serve breakfast, they only give you a slice of banana bread they make at the cafe. The Grand Hotel also has garage parking in case you want your car protected from the elements, good option for those snowy days. If you are traveling with a large group of people I recommend you rent a cabin or an Airbnb, but if it's just one person or a small family of 3-4, this hotel will do just fine, the beds are comfy and they have good breakfast, besides you're in Cloudcroft, chances are you will spend most of your time away from your hotel room anyways. Side note: for you smokers out there, you can only smoke outside of the hotel in the parking lot, you can't smoke at the sitting patio areas regardless that they are outside.

It's Completely ready for you to come up and enjoy your stay at Corina's Grace Way Lodge. It's located in the Cloudcroft NM area outside of the town by several miles. The area is a great place to enjoy nature and the Forest and wildlife. The nice thing is that this is Not Roughing it. This place is nicer than most people's houses. It's only available one rental at a time, but has several bedrooms and can accommodate a small group or family staying together. You'll have to call for more details because I stayed here by myself, so I didn't really pay attention to the total number of people who may get the reservation at the same time. Most people are going to love it here.

The rooms are decently spacious and the bath towels are huge! Downsides include a complimentary breakfast of cold potatoes, cold toast, cold eggs, and pretty good sausage. The shower is weak and oscillates between freezing cold and scalding hot. The amount of hair on the bathroom floor resembles a barbershop and tells me they don't clean the rooms very well.

Prices are very reasonable compared to others I've been to. Staff are locals and very friendly. You can walk in to their restaurant and buy a pizza. BYOB. The 10" pizza is wood fired and pretty good. You can get sides like fried pickles, fried zucchini, onion rings etc. They were nice enough to to a half and half basket for us. The temp is a little warmer than usually but it's great to eat out on the patio with flowers in pots in bloom and green ski runs Watching a wonderful sunset and amazing hummingbirds chirping and zipping by you.

The trails in the national forest were clean, and easy to walk on. The markers on this trail were far and few between, but the trail was pretty obvious. We got to see elk and mule deer along the way. Also noticed on the back side of the trail there is a frisbee golf course. The leaves were turning over their fall colors. I would love to try this or some of the other area trails again in the winter snow. This park is very close to the village of Cloudcroft so if you need anything to prep for your outdoor adventures, you are close. We will return.

We ordered pistachio crusted trout and most of their specials: vegetable de jour (Brussels sprouts) appetizer (Escargot), soup of the day (Green Chicken Chile pazole), and steak de jour (ribeye) with potatoes de jour (steak fries). For dessert, we opted for the raspberry sorbet which was light and satisfying. Make sure to ask about the keys to the tower, neat to check out and hopefully you can find Judy Garland name carved there! You take take a drink up their and enjoy the view.

But they didn't have several items on the menu, they weren't ready for our reservation and we had to wait for 15 minutes even though the place was half empty. We weren't told there was another menu for the bar. The fish fry was heavy, greasy, and I literally had only one bite before asking the waitress to take it back. The elk backstrap was good, but it was on sauce that was flavorless and bland, like a basic flour-butter-milk sauce. The fries were heavy and also greasy. It feels like a management issue...it just seemed as if there was disorder and stress among the staff, despite the empty seats when we arrived. Now--onto the positives--the place is BEAUTIFUL. Whatever money they are saving on the chef and restaurant, they have put into the restoration and maintenance of this historic gem. You expect to see Clark Gable and Judy Garland (former guests of this lodge) at the next table. There is a lovely bar room and a lovely room with three tables in front of a huge fireplace. Gorgeous. And if you sit outside, there's a sunset there with your name on it. So if this review were for the Lodge, it may have been great! But it's not for the lodge. It's for the restaurant. And they are not putting the energy (and $?) into 1899 that this valuable piece of history deserves.
