We were so pleasantly surprised by the comfort of this renovated old motel. Cheerfully painted soft yellow with bright blue doors, everything was in perfect shape. Our 2-bed room had a fridge and a microwave, good TV, nice small bathroom. The breakfast was more than continental---cereal, bananas, yogurt, juice, coffee, pastries. The owners were so nice, have owned the place... More

We stayed here for two nights in room 25. The lady who greeted us at the front desk was very nice. She gave us a good recommendation on a restaurant for the evening and was quick to loan us a couple of plastic disks to use as slides at the dunes. The motel has a 1950's kind of vibe. The... More

Chose this little motel because of the TA reviews and we were certainly not disappointed. The owners were cheerful and friendly, the room was clean and spotless, the price was right and the motel was next to most of the restaurants that you would want in town. All in all, just what we were looking for. Thanks Chuck & Bonnie.

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
