My husband and I were passing thru Alamogordo to see White Sands and the Aerospace Museum and needed a clean and basic motel to stay the night. The White Sands Motel was a cute retro 60's motel; clean, quiet and no frills. Good value for the money. Near the 100's of chain restaurants along White Sands Blvd and near enough... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights last June so apologies for the tardy review. We very much enjoyed our stay here and found it a very good base from which to explore the surrounding area especially the White Sands National Monument. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and told to drop into reception... More

From a European point of view, thats' America ! The endless boulevard, the big shinny neon sign at night, the flat building, parking the car in front of the room ... just like in the 50's movies. Efficient staff, clean room and a very fair price, don't try to find nothr place in Alamogordo !

I loved this little hotel, with it's retro neon sign, it's cute bright blue doors, and the porch swing in the back lot. This is the perfect road trip motel. It's perfectly, insanely clean. It's a very well kept property, not brand new but recently painted. You can park right next to your door. All the basics are there… desk,... More

The hotel owner was really nice - she pointed us to a decent Thai restaurant, and she loans sleds for White Sands. The room was clean, and the motel is well-maintained. It's a terrific base for exploring White Sands National Monument. It's also a good value. Highly recommended.

We checked out the White Sands Hotel online before booking a few nights there, and we really enjoyed our stay. Sure our room was small, but it was spotless - the cleanest place we've stayed in for years. The host are super friendly and accommodating. They have free sleds to use if you want to sled down the dunes at... More

This hotel is just what the other reviewers have stated. The owner is friendly and goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need. It could use some updating (old TVs), but then the rates would probably go up. Bed was comfortable, and paper products soft. Breakfast is cereal and packaged Danish. Good location for White... More

Decided to stay here after reading the Trip Advisor reviews. They do it justice. Good rooms close to a selection of eating places. Location is very convenient for visiting the White Sands and the shopping in Alamogordo. Highly recommended for anyone doing a road trip through New Mexico.

I was traveling from Salem, Oregon to Mobile, Alabama and stayed at this motel on my way to Roswell. I had researched it and read very good reviews. I'm glad I trusted them, this is one of the cleanest, the most comfortable motels I've stayed in. Great customer service, wi-fi, continental breakfast, HBO (and other cable options that some chains... More

I much prefer giving my custom to local businesses and this place didn't disappoint. It's an older motel, but has been well maintained and upgraded. We were given a room at the back well away from any traffic noise. Room was well-appointed and spotlessly clean. The owner was friendly and helpful and breakfast was also provided.
