35 years ago my wife and I stayed in this motel on our honeymoon when we were just starting out and had a very small budget. At the time it was a bit campy and sort of run down. Returning this year it has been updated, cleaned up and the grounds well kept. The bar and resturant are clean and... More

We were attending the RV-Dreams rally in Elephant Butte and our RV died about 20 miles from the hotel and RV park. Last minute hotel reservations for almost a week with our 3 dogs went off without a hitch. The room was clean and had a microwave and a fridge. The beds were comfortable. There were plenty of dog walking... More

We came upon this place while driving through New Mexico. Did not know what to expect. We were very pleased with everything here. From the front desk to the restaurant/bar (excellent, reasonably-priced and varied menu and great wine list), to room service, the experience was exceptional. We chose an upstairs view room, very clean, modern and quiet for one night... More

Stayed here three nights. Traveling with our two little dogs. We were charged $30 for pets. We thought that was reasonable. Our friends also stayed with their standard poodle in another room. Our friends room was on the lake side of hotel and had new furniture, bathroom, king size bed and small couch. New tv. Our room was clean and... More

Hi. The Elephant Butte Lake Resort would like to thank you for taking time to review our property. Right now, the reasons the rooms are all the same price are (1) we are a summer resort and vacancy is quite stark in the winter months. We made all the rooms the same price as an enticement to travelers and (2)... More

We enjoyed everything about our stay. The room was clean and what we expected. We enjoyed the breakfast in the dining room overlooking the lake, loved the outdoor bar/eating area with the rustle of the babmboo cain in the wind. The food was all good. It was nice having everything in one place. The staff were all frien.dly

I usually stay in truth or consequences, nm but wanted to try something different while getting familiar with the 'closest to beach-like experience' in nm. This inn did not disappoint. The walking distance to the closest lake front is a decent 30 minute hike and perfect for exercising your dog. I started my walk a bit late in the day... More

Altogether commodious! Very friendly and clean,the place appears to employ half the town and everyone we spoke with had worked there at least 9 years. Pool was wonderful, not busy, not lots of chlorine. Great chef - Joan. Terrific service bartender- Sonny. All food and beverages were very inexpensive and extremely tasty. Room was comfortable and bright.
