We were very pleased w/this quaint family owned motel in Riodoso. The motel was unique & comfortable. The family lived on the premises & provided muffins in the mornings. We didnt try the hot tub, but Im sure it would have been refreshing, esp. If we had been skiing. They had the rooms reasonably priced & my husband had remembered... More

I've been going to Ruidoso for over 40 years and this place has been there forever. this was my first stay at the Sitzmark. It is spotlessly clean and neat and well cared for by the current owners. They live on-site and are very friendly and helpful. Our room was the econo queen and it is TINY. I would not... More

I booked this hotel because of good reviews and pictures of rooms with fireplaces. We were not disappointed. The weather was gorgeous the first day, and then a snowstorm hit. I loved having the fireplaces and looking out the window. The first two nights, we had two rooms with a connecting door, and that was perfect for our family to... More

This is an older property that was pretty unique to start with, and has since been added onto. The folks that run the place live on site, and easy to work with. The rooms actually come with KEYS, what a concept. And the doors don't automatically lock behind you, a good point to remember. The rooms are large, clean and... More

My husband and I enjoyed staying at Sitzmak Chalet the past two nights. We were in Ruidoso for a Toastmaster Conference at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. We originally planned to stay at IMG, until we encountered its 1) mixed reviews, 2) high cost, and 3) smoking rooms being all that were available when I called. Sitzmark Chalet is... More

We stayed at the Stizmark Chalet Inn on our way back from Santa Fe to Texas and found it very clean and convenient. It's a bit funky but charming. The owners appear to live on site and were very friendly and helpful. They have a hot tub and BBQ grills for guests which we didn't have time to use.The rates... More

This is a nice hotel/motel for a weekend shopping or skiing. The rooms are nice and clean; 50's/60's feel and decor. The bathroom is also 50's/60's, a bit dark, close and no air movement but it is quite clean and functional. They offer muffins in the AM--you should politely pass on these and head down to The Buttery for coffee.... More

The Sitzmark was the highlight of a recent whirlwind trip I took to Ruidoso. The owner's are incredibly friendly and accomodating. The room was better than other's I've stayed in and it was 1/3 the price! Large comfy bed, fridge, coffee maker, table, bathtub & shower... even a fireplace for the colder months! Really lovely! I wouldn't dream of staying... More

We stayed for one night on our trip back from the West Coast. Pros: Comfortable bed, nice shower, on a major highway for easy access Cons: Two story motel with no elevator and narrow wooden steps indoors. If you have much luggage I would suggest you get a room on the first floor as they have no way to get... More
