Best Western Plus Ruidoso Inn

Tucked into the rugged Sierra Blanca mountains of south-central New Mexico, this Ruidoso hotel sits about 4 km from the town center. Outdoor attractions are minutes away: Ski Apache is roughly 15 miles, Ruidoso Downs Racetrack about 2 miles, and museums, golf courses and casinos are all within a short drive.

A newer, 100% non-smoking hotel with 56 well-appointed rooms and suites. Rooms feature pillowtop beds, flat-screen TVs, cable/satellite, in-room mini fridges and a spacious work desk. The property leans modern and thoughtfully designed—wake up to crisp mountain air and simple, comfortable rooms.

Jump into the indoor heated pool and hot tub, or keep your routine in the fitness center. There’s a picnic and barbecue area, tour/ticket assistance, complimentary wireless high-speed internet, free self-parking and a 24-hour front desk. Sensory hint: mornings here come with brisk mountain breezes and a warm pool waiting.

A business center, limited business services and 1,150 sq ft of event space/meeting room make this a practical spot for small events. Fast, complimentary high-speed internet and express check-out keep work moving.

A complimentary full hot-and-cold buffet breakfast is served daily (early hours), plus an on-site snack bar/deli and a bar/restaurant for evening bites. Expect straightforward options with local New Mexican flavors available nearby and on the menu.
