Top Grindstone Lake Hotel Reviews

Casey's Cabins

6/10 Okay

"The place can be the best experience you can have if you put a little more care in the maintenance of the place and the cleanliness, that was horrible i had to go to waltmart for some cleaning wipes and sheets to sleep the sofa supposed to be white it was super dirty the thing that i did love was the location"

Elevate Hotel at Sierra Blanca

2/10 Terrible

"The previous reviews about this place are right. They try to charge fees for everything. I was told at check in that there was no early check in fee only to be hit with an extra $25 fee at the end after paying $16 in "resort" fees. This is a basic motel and my room was much more run down than the photo. Stay somewhere else."

Shadow Mountain Lodge and Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"This was a perfect stop after a nice dinner. Sat out on the porch and talked quiet and comfortably. Blankets provided and then to be able to go in and have and sit by a cozy fire, drink some wine and have a perfect date night. This was perfect. Great job. Beautifully decorated and well set up I will tell everyone about this place and look forward to coming back."

High Sierra Condominium

8/10 Good

"The facility is dated and in need of repair. The surrounding area is littered with trash and discarded building materials. The views were mostly nice however we recommend checking with the property manager regarding room location. A lot of kids being loud staying in the room directly below. Not the most relaxing get away we had hoped for."

Hotel Ruidoso - Midtown

6/10 Okay

"The hotel has been going through a remodeling process. The 2nd floor was basically under construction. The fitness center, swimming pool and all other amenities on the first floor were being used to store construction materials. There was no patio area for lounging outside. There was no bench or any other seating area in front of the hotel so if a person was waiting for a ride there was no place to sit. As for the remodel process, we were on the 3rd floor which I guess had been completed. The bathroom vanity was nice with multiple electric outlets. The shower had what appeared to be newly install tiles. However, when they did the shower and tub area it was void of any shelving or locations to place personal shower accessories. The breakfast that was served was not too enticing. The eggs appeared to be powdered, the sausage patties were okay but the hash browns were not very good. Cereal selection was Cheerios, Fruit Loops or Graham Cracker cereal, basically Kids Stuff. I never checked out the oatmeal so ???? We probably will not stay at this hotel again. However, the staff was courteous and were very helpful when I needed special assistance."
