This is a "somewhat" remodled Route 66 type of Motel. The builind is ancient, but you can tell that the owners have spent a significant amount of money to keep it in shape. The room was acceptably clean, but there were areas that could have been cleaned better. Overall, I felft comfortable with the cleanliness. The stucco in the rooms... More

This is a bit down on it's heels motel in a military town. The room was clean but the a/c barely worked. The free breakfast (continental) was good.

I was in Alamogordo for business. Unfortunately, most of the rooms in town were booked and I was scheduled to stay at the Quality Inn across the street. I found bugs in the bed so I went to Best Western and explained my dilemma to the hotel clerk (Andrew Smith 073) and asked him to find me a room. Andrew... More

Saturday 3/3 hubby & I decided that we needed to make a quick trip to Alamagordo and visit the White Sand Dunes! We wanted to take our dog too....she loves to 'Go!'. Called over the phone - got a great deal with AAA for a King room + Pet. Easy check in... went to room... and yup...it's just a basic... More

Friendly service, clean room but bathroom needs updating. We stayed here after visiting white sands with our dog and kids. Dog friendly but a big sign saying no cats. They advertise many rooms with a spa but noted that kids and pets are not allowed in those rooms. First non-smoking room smelled horrible of smoke (smoking room downstairs) and they... More

My husband and I stayed at this Best Western while we were road tripping through New Mexico. We were in Alamogordo to see the White Sands. This was a good location to stop at as it is only a few miles from the park. The hotel was average, nothing fancy. The room was clean. The bathroom was in need to... More

We stayed in Alamogordo before heading out to White Sands National Monument with two dogs. Best Western has an easy pet policy which is why we stayed here. You pay for what you get with the rooms - basic, not updated, but relatively clean. The beds were super saggy and we woke up achy before our hike. The bathroom could... More

Two-level motel with exterior halls. Building was well maintained and attractive. Rooms were clean and updated, but a bit small. Bathroom included a small room with tub and toilet and another room with a sink, refrigerator, and large closet area. Toilet was extremely loud as it refilled and window in bathroom let in a lot of street noise, but we... More

We stayed at the Desert Aire Hotel for 3 nights in Sept 2011. The staff (including the maids and service staff ) were the friendliest of any hotel I have ever stayed in. The rooms were clean and comfortable and quiet. There were several restaurants in walking distance to the hotel, making our stay even easier. The sunsets were beautiful... More

Staying at a Best Western is always a hit or miss experience. Mostly they're very average. The desk staff was very pleasant at least. The rooms very average and basic. Can hear the people in the next room. If you have a room near the road you'll hear the traffic so try to get one at the back of the... More
