I have been to many hotels in many different states and countries but by far this one has offered not only a room so clean and with all the ammenities that you can only dream of but also a breath taking location. Lets' not forget the staff not only professional but always greeting you with a smile and going that... More

Dissapointed by a lot of small details that began to add up. A lot of trash and junk piled up behind the front desk. Dry wall crumbling, tissues stuffed sloppily in their box. Breakfast was a fight to get to a buffet line cramped into a very small space. Not enough tables to accommodate guests. A roll of paper towers... More

Please accept our apologies for a less than perfect stay during your visit to Ruidoso. Our staff has listened to your comments. During our very busy spring break week it was difficult for our guests to get through the breakfast buffet and find an empty table. We were at full capacity with large families, and couldn't always keep up with... More

This was our second time to visit Ruidoso. We visited two years ago and stayed at the Inn of the Mountain Gods, which was a very nice and clean hotel. We decided to try something different instead of staying there again, so we stayed at the Lodge at Sierra Blanca. First I will talk about the positives. The location was... More

Travelin' Jack returned for the 2nd time to Lodge at Sierra Blanca...making this his favorite Ruidoso getaway hotel!. This property earns his prestigious 5-paws review for several very pet-friendly reasons. 1) Large comfortable rooms with outside patio area. Nice furnishings. 2) Choice of rooms in entire lodge (no designated pet-friendly rooms). 3) He chose a ground floor room with an... More

We decided on Thursday to travel to Ruidoso on Friday. I called The Lodge at Sierra Blanca and they had plenty of availability to accommodate our last minute travel plans. The Lodge was easy to find and was beautiful on the outside, with a surrounding golf course. The resort is also located next to the convention center. Our room was... More

We come to Ruidoso every winter and stay here every time. A bit on the pricy side but we get what we pay for. Breakfast is outstanding. More

While I can't agree with some of The Lodge's positioning as a "luxury" property, the rooms are very nice, clean and well maintained (especially considering that Ruidoso is at heart a ski town). The beds/bedding were very good, and the public areas are very ample and nicely appointed. I found the staff to be relatively friendly and responsive. The setting... More

Not sure what others expect out of this hotel, but all the staff is friendly, the Lodge is beautiful and set in a beautiful surrounding. Any small issues we have are resolved immediately. It may be a little farther than you want to stay from downtown, but it is worth it. We stay comfortably, but don't spend all day in... More

I purchased (2) two night package through Groupon. Looking at their website and reading some of the reviews, I was leery of staying, but was a great deal through Groupon..So I booked the rooms. I wanted to check with the General Manager about some of the negative comments I had read, but in 3 weeks of leaving messages, never heard... More

My husband & I recently stayed at The Lodge in a king suite which consisted of 2 rooms (living area & kitchenette) and bedroom plus adjacent bath. It was definitely one of the smallest, most cramped spaces we've stayed in that qualifies as a 2 room suite. There was a clearance of perhaps 6 inches between the end of the... More
