“Great location, Good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

person found this review helpful

This hotel was in a very convenient location since it was on the main highway and close to The Downs and car show. It was very clean, and the people were extremely nice and very helpful. I enjoyed my swim in the pool that was clean with tables and chairs around it. We took advantage of their free breakfast but I wouldn’t recommend it. I have never eaten cold pancakes (there was a microwave and toaster) or hard boiled eggs already peeled. The room was clean and the coffee was good. The next morning we went out for breakfast. Also, the ice machine was broken. Overall, my stay was pleasant.

“Stay away from this place”

We stayed here Valentines weekend and nothing worked in the room. There was no heat in room. I asked the manager to adjust the room since we froze all night and I am still waiting to here from him. I have already left him 5 messages and he will not respond. I gues I paid for a room that was like sleeping in my vehicle at 27 degrees. I will never stay here again.

Rooms were dirty..housekeeping was poor. The owner/manager was rude and making false accusation. He was making loud comments in the hallways!

“Make sure to book direct!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2009

We traveled to Ruidoso for my son's wedding with his aunt, his 88 year old grandmother in a wheelchair, and 98 year old great-grandmother who uses a walker. We reserved two handicapped rooms through hotels.com because it was the phone number that came up on an internet search.

The week of the trip I called direct to the Ramada to ask about getting a meeting room and was told they didn't have one. At the same time I had them confirm my two handicapped rooms, which they did. When we arrived we were told we only had one handicapped room and one king room. They blamed hotels.com even though I insisted that they verified having my reservation correct 4 days before. Was told nothing could be changed because it was a hotels.com reservation! One that should have been correct!

Of course there were no more hc or even double rooms available so we had two horrible nights and some hurt feelings because of the mix-up. They did offer us a large suite (1 king bed and a couch) for my husband and I and great-grandmother! Then the handicapped bar above the toilet was barely attached and fell. Luckily, no one was hurt.

The rooms were clean, the breakfast adequate, and the manager did try to help. We made do.. but what a horrible thing for such a special weekend.

“Ramada Ruidoso--big, clean room; terrible breakfast”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2009

We stayed at the Ramada in Ruidoso Downs for several days during July 2009 and found the hotel to be OK. We had a standard king room (handicapped) that was very large and had a microwave and fridge. It was clean and the bed was good. The hotel was practically empty during the week with a few more guests arriving on the weekend so it was quiet. The room AC was good but the hallways and elevator were uncomfortably warm. The maid service was good.

The thing that is really irritating is that breakfast is pitiful! They served cold pancakes or waffles as their "hot food". You had to heat them in the microwave or toaster. No bacon or sausage or scrambled eggs at all. No waffle machine. Only a few donuts, bagels, breads. They also had cold, hard-boiled eggs but who knows how many days they sat there becasue nobody seemed to be eating them.

Overall, I would stay there again for the price but plan on going out for breakfast.
