Fairfield Inn & Suites Alamogordo  

In the heart of Alamogordo, a short drive from the Flickinger Center for Performing Arts and the Toy Train Depot. New Mexico Museum of Space History is only about 5 miles away, and White Sands National Park sits roughly 14 miles from the hotel — great for quick day trips.

Take a dip in the indoor (heated) pool or hit the 24-hour fitness center to stay on track; there’s also a picnic/barbecue area and gift shop on site. Complimentary wired and wireless internet and free self-parking make stays simple — wake up ready for White Sands or a local show.

A business center, express check-in/out and complimentary high-speed wired internet support work trips, plus meeting facilities offering about 560 sq ft (52 sqm) of event space.
