Great place to see the jets up close . Must check in at gate for access. Day visit for best view. Great for all ages. read more

Accommodating personnel when we went down there to reconfigure some equipment. I was in the USAF a time ago and know how it works. It takes 5 people to do 1 person's job but that's the way the military works. The personnel were at least very pleasant and helped us complete the project. As far as Holloman AFB goes, I wouldn't want to live there or anywhere near Alamogordo, NM. There is nothing to do. read more

This place use to be super cool back in the Raptor days but the thing that makes this 5 Stars today is the Calzones at Oasis Pizza. Holloman is a great base! read more

Very hidden spot. Nice and quiet location. I would have never known it was here until someone told me about it. Visited the bass exchange and it was very nice. Better than than small PX where I'm located in Michigan. read more

Arrived on Saturday, June 30th at 3:30. Had reservation for overnight stay in the Holloman Inn. Gate AFB AP provided direction, but there were no signs anywhere to aid in finding the Inn. After driving around, finally found the place. Room not ready; wait while they found a "cleaned room". Short wait, but eventually got cheeked in. Went to room and found ants crawling all around the sink area. Made phone call to Lodging Manager; voice mail; no response. Housekeeping individual happened to come by; showed her the problem. She took me over to the reservation desk and we reported the problem. Maintenance was contacted, but they had secured for the day. Another group was called, but they responded they would not come out "just for ants" ! Suggestion was to move to another room which was going to be an inconvenience or stay and fight the ant battle; stayed. While doing an ant removal project with my fingers, a mouse ran across my foot. Finally just gave up and ignored the situation. Had a dog with me and went to the "dog park" which is a joke. Two fenced in areas with old mulch type bark as the ground cover; nary a blade of grass anywhere to be seen. I know, it's desert. But the soccer field a block away was a neatly maintained grass area. With the exception of Domino's Pizza in the gas station convenience store, there was no other eating place open; they all close at 7:00 p.m. on the weekends. I have stayed at many a military base "hotel" over my 23 years of military service and almost 30 years of retirement. Needless to say, staying at this base was the absolute worst experience I have ever had. read more

I enjoyed the few years I spent at Holloman, but wanted to review specifically for the food at the Officer's Club. I remember one of the best meals I ever ate: A HUGE lobster with butter sauce with my friend and his dad. First time I ate one and it was sooooo good. I went to the O-Club with my family a lot, for a random meal or brunch. I remember everything being pretty good. read more

I quite like it here! This place gets a bad rap, but I am very pleased with the local area. I love my shop and work is very pleasant. The weather is A1, and on a clear night you have a a neat view of the stars. read more

Ok, i've heard alot of mixed reviews on this place. There are people who love it and others that hate it. From my multiple experiences, i will not be going back there. I've gotten hair cuts and coloring here, and even though i've tried different stylists, they always seem to mess it up somehow. The last time i went i wanted a layered cut with coloring and highlights. The color didnt come out, and my layers were not even. One side was an inch longer than the other, sadly i didnt notice at first since i have wavy hair, and only noticed a couple of weeks down the road when i got my hair straightened. Also, on the back of my head you could see the roots. I really do like the people working there, but they need more training. Thats the only reason i gave an extra star. read more

Holloman is easily the worst base in the entire military (excluding their neighbors Cannon AFB). Came here as a fresh A1C with all of the hopes and dreams in the world and left with crippling depression. I am glad I PCS'd out of this base. Even though I am deployed, I would much rather work 70+ hour weeks than spend one second on the abyss that is Holloman. If you, your spouse, or your child has any chance of coming here, they will not leave the same. I spent five years here and it was easily the worst experience of my life. A small cloud of gloom surrounds the base. It is heavy, and you can feel it as soon as you pass through the gate. For the love of god, please avoid this place like it is the Trinity Site a few miles away from it. Much like toxic radiation, it will leave you feeling nauseous and wanting to die. Good luck. read more

High security, you have to go to the visitors center for a guest even with a state ID. (my active husband and myself had military ID's in the same car as her, yet we still had to go in and get her a visitors pass) Super pain in the ass. Lemon lot is SUPER empty at the moment and we drove all the way from Tulie hoping for a better selection. Super hard to find your way around and there's absolutely zero color around here. read more

I spent 5 years there. I was glad to go, but I had good times. If you get stationed here or just come while traveling, you have to get out to do things (obviously). There is usually some driving involved because everything is spaced out in the desert. read more
