By brekkie time, 18APR2023, I had called ahead to owner/operator Rafael Chavez from SocorroNM-USA…read moreand committed myself to arriving at this exceptionally fine motel, though it was an 80mile/128kms (the first 10miles/16kms of which was all headwind) cycle journey, primarily Eastbound on US380. Fortunately, I had gauged the eBatteries correctly, along with taking several "nooners" (milspec) enroute, arriving an hour before Sunset. I was amazed at my good fortune; this was such a fine overnighter. Firm bed/fast hot water/excellent flat screen TV, microwave & mini-fridge/good in-room coffee maker/cleanliness throughout, and, in today's digital World, free WiFI. I was exceptionally impressed with multi-socket that provided every kind of hookup needed for my electrics, which I'd not seem before. Unfortunately, the ice maker was currently broken, but, as what was becoming a regularity in many overnighteries, I bought a bag of ice at the closeby Alsups, along with a few nutritious snacks and brekkie items.oils . Most important was the decent/restful night, which was critical for my anticipated not-so-long but very steep ascent (¿Would I have to walk, like I did a year ago, on the Blue Rmidge Parkway?) to Capitan the next day. This was such a fantastic motel! I highly recommend it any and all travellers who need a great overnight in this thriving community of CarrizozoNM-USA. it certainly has my coveted "iWheel of Approval!"

It's a historic building, full of character and the owners make you feel like more of a friend who is visiting than a hotel customer. There is a fire pit (conditions permitting) and horseshoe pit in the back, along with the chickens and the goats. You are literally in the middle of "downtown" Lincoln, if you came for the history. And, a nice nature trail that goes down to the river is just a few block walk away. Breakfast was freshly made and awesome each day. We will definitely be back. It's not a chain hotel - so if that is what you want, Head elsewhere. I spend a lot of time in chain hotels - I'd much rather stay here.

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.

No, not at all But I had fun lol it's a small casino room, with a high roller room closed off in the back. There are some cool statues out front In the middle of the interior, you can look at Sierra Blanca. This place is beautiful. I didn't stay in a room, so maybe that's why it has a low rating ‍ Either way, I was highly impressed

4 Stars - A High-Desert Blackjack Fever Dream…read more There are casinos, and then there are casinos that feel like a mildly hallucinogenic roadside poem written at 7,500 feet above sea level. This is the latter. The blackjack tables here are loose in that beautiful way that makes a gambler feel briefly chosen by the gods. Chips slide, cards slap the felt, and the dealers and pit bosses carry a refreshing lack of casino stiffness. Nobody's breathing down your neck like a tax auditor of sin. The vibe is relaxed, almost conspiratorial--like the whole room knows we're all here for the same ridiculous dance with probability. Two dealers deserve special mention. Makaila runs a table like a jazz drummer--smooth, quick, unflustered. June, meanwhile, is a delightful menace. She enjoys tricking players into thinking she's pulled a blackjack. She'll pause, squint, grin, and for a brief moment the table collectively experiences a small existential crisis before she reveals the truth. It's performance art disguised as card dealing. The hotel itself sits out in Mescalero, right beside Ruidoso, overlooking the calm waters of Mescalero Lake--a high-desert lake that looks especially poetic when the mountain air hits your lungs like cold champagne. At 7,500 feet elevation, the place has that crisp alpine quiet that makes you feel like you've wandered into some strange mountain monastery... except the monks are holding blackjack chips. Inside, the casino is modern, comfortable, and easy to navigate. Outside? The parking lot is a bit ugly--like a sun-baked asphalt lizard. But it's shaded, which in the high desert counts as a civic virtue. The crowd is mostly reasonable. Sure, every casino has a few characters who appear to have been assembled from spare parts and bad decisions--but overall the patrons were friendly. I even noticed quite a few young women comfortably playing at the tables, which usually means the atmosphere hasn't drifted too far into creep territory. The rooms are spacious and many have great views of the lake, which adds a peaceful counterpoint to the card-table chaos downstairs. And if you're the adventurous type, there's a disc golf course nearby plus plenty of walking trails along the lake. It's a nice way to clear your head after battling the dealer and the laws of mathematics. One practical note: Hydrate like a camel preparing for a desert opera. The air here is dry enough to turn a raisin back into a grape. Would I come back? Absolutely. Between the mountain air, the laid-back blackjack, and the occasional theatrical dealer mind-game, it's a wonderfully strange little high-desert gambling outpost. Four stars. Bring water. Bring luck. And keep an eye on June's face when she peeks at that second card.
