Right near the exit door. With a window looking out on the parking lot. I did not feel safe all night. No bars on the windows. People walking by all night. Creepy AF. Not sure why I couldn't be on the second floor.

Conveniently located for families or people wanting to visit White Sands Ntl Park…read more They let you use sleds for White Sands park for free. Bring or buy wax for the sleds though. They work great for kids who don't weigh much, but it is much harder for adults. Rooms were clean and beds and pillows pretty comfortable. The hotel in general and the rooms could use some updating/refresh. The furniture is pretty outdated in the rooms. Hooks on the wall would be a nice addition to hang items on. The cookies they put out in the afternoon for free are hard and not fresh. We did use their laundry facilities which were great! Bring quarters and your own soap if you can, but if you can't they do have soap to purchase and can give you quarters if you have cash. WiFi is terrible. An employee working the breakfast area had poor customer service skills and needs more training. When approached about putting more food out that was out, he said "why does everyone come down at 9?"

As a traveler from out of state accompanied by two trained service dogs, I was shocked by the…read moretreatment we received at Winary Bistro. The manager incorrectly stated that service dogs must wear a vest to be recognized as service animals and demanded that we provide a "service animal certificate." We were then told that such certificates were not valid and that service animals must be registered in New Mexico before being allowed into the restaurant. None of these statements are consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Service dogs are not required to wear vests, carry certificates, or be registered with any state in order to access public accommodations. It is deeply concerning that a manager responsible for serving the public appears to have such a poor understanding of federal disability law. The experience was embarrassing, discriminatory, and completely unnecessary. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States with my service dogs and have never been treated this way. I strongly encourage management to educate staff on ADA requirements before another customer is subjected to the same treatment. Until then, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone who relies on a service animal.

Went to a wedding there recently. The venue is generally an underdeveloped piece of the outdoors…read morewith a duck pond and a canopy for shade. It makes for some pretty photos, nice vistas overlooking the pond. The crux of this place is how underdeveloped it is. The bathroom situation is a Porta potty, there's a canopy for shade but it can only accommodate the smallest of parties. There's not enough outlets and lighting is limited. They tend to restrict their events to daylight hours and don't allow alcohol which makes for very quaint events. It's a mom and pop affair but that means they expect you to set everything up and tear everything down when you're done and the people who operate this are not the friendliest bunch. The improvements the venue does have seem pretty underwhelming. Think Home Depot special, definitely keep your expectations low on this one. All in all if you're thinking of this style of outdoors wedding you may be better served considering a park or similar setting. May be more cost effective without the hassle of dealing with the owners.

Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wine - Came for Pistachios, Left with Wine…read more We stopped here with a simple mission: grab a few bags of pistachios as gifts for friends back home. Easy, right? Well... not quite. The store itself is quaint and charming, filled with all kinds of temptations. Pistachios in every form, chocolates, wines, and gift options that make you rethink your original plan. You can taste a little of everything, which is both delightful and dangerous. Then we stepped out onto the patio with our pistachio ice cream, and wow... completely unexpected. The space is gorgeous. Calm, open, and the kind of place that makes you slow down without even trying. Honestly, if I lived nearby, I'd be planning celebrations here without a second thought. Somewhere between the views and the tasting, I tried their pistachio rosé. And yes, I had the same reaction, "wait... what?" But it worked. Different, pleasant, and surprisingly good. Good enough that I completely abandoned my pistachio gift plan and walked out with several bottles instead. A much more unique surprise. The staff were warm and welcoming, adding to the whole experience. No rush, no pressure, just genuine friendliness. We didn't have as much time as I would have liked, and that's probably the only downside. This is the kind of place where you want to linger longer, taste more, and just enjoy the moment. Came for pistachios. Left with wine and zero regrets.

How about those shiny floors everywhere! It's not just about amazing pistachios (though they're so good )--it's about the passion and purpose that go into everything you do. It's rare to see that level of care, and it made the visit truly special. The inviting patio to sip on wine amongst the carefully pruned trees was a bonus Grateful for such an inspiring experience, especially Melissia and Sabrine. #SupportLocal #SustainableFarming #Gratitude

As always, we rented a skid steer and an excavator from Uptown Rentals for a Septic Installation…read moreproject, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire Staff experience--especially thanks to Dylan. From the moment I walked in, Dylan greeted me with genuine enthusiasm and took the time to understand exactly what I needed. He walked me through the available machines, explaining the features of each one in detail without any pressure, ensuring I picked the right equipment for the job. The rental process was seamless; Dylan handled all the paperwork quickly and even gave me tips on safe operation and maintenance to make sure everything went smoothly on-site. The equipment itself was top-notch--well-maintained, clean, and performed flawlessly throughout the rental period. No breakdowns or issues whatsoever, which saved me a ton of time and hassle. What really stood out was Dylan's follow-up. He checked in midway through the rental to see if I needed anything else, and when I returned the machines, he made the inspection quick and fair. It's rare to find someone so knowledgeable, patient, and customer-focused in this industry. If you're in Alamogordo and need heavy equipment like skid steers or excavators, do yourself a favor and ask for Dylan at Uptown Rentals. Five stars all the way--I'll definitely be back!

This is truly unfortunate! A relationship that started strong with mutual respect has become an…read moreexample of typical corporate greed. Our company rented a Bobcat E60 Excavator first for one day on 7/30/26 and then for a week rental on 7/31/26 through 8/7-26, with the caveat that the equipment could be returned with a full refund if we reported a problem, because the equipment on the prior rental before us was used to demo three homes!! The equipment was not running or working correctly and Uptown knew it. We believed it had been serviced prior, at least to a point that we could troubleshoot a quick fix. We really needed the machine. The overall rental cost us 2,257.27! It never worked properly. It wasn't used! We emailed to an email that the invoice came from: the email didn't clearly state no reply on invoice. My husband then reported it to a representative upon returning it we expected a full refund as negotiate. We received no call or any other communication from Uptown Equipment Rental, but our money was never refunded! Not until I started calling did I get the excuses from the owner. He wanted to work something out but not refund our money. He then blamed us for it being a day late because they were already closed! We drove from up in the mountains to get there but because of slow traffic we were 10 minutes late! His next excuse for keeping the entire 2.257!! What??!! Now he wants to speak with my husband and won't speak with me. Why??! We simply want our money refunded! I'm starting here. Next, I go to Google and the Better Business Bureau!

The theater can also be rented out for special events. Alamogordo Music Theatre performs musicals here twice a year. The building was originally a movie theater, that has been converted and gradually improved over the years. The technical equipment (sound, lighting, stage) is somewhat bare-bones but adequate. All the seats are good, but the center orchestra seats toward the front are the best. The theater also puts on a series of tailgate concerts every summer at the New Mexico Museum of Space History. Ticket prices are reasonable ($10-$40), in part because the theater is a non-profit and is subsidized by generous local financial support.
