The check in was easy. We were offered cookies. There is a vending machine in the lobby. I believe they have coffee and tea all day. Important things to note: 1. Metal beams protrude from the base of one of the beds in the room where we stayed. You won’t see them because they’re covered by the bed sheets but you will feel them in your ankles when you get near. Ouch!! Forgot to mention this when we checked out. 2. The parking lot is small. Only one car per room. 3. There is no kitchen or bar in the property so no breakfast but they do have muffins in the morning. 4. Quiet time is very very very important to hotel owners. Starting at 10 pm. No late check-in’s.

We have driven by this hotel for 30 plus years. We decided after reading reviews to give it a try. Boy are we glad we did ! This is a gem of a place. It has old charm that just isn’t found anymore in a clean environment anyway. Hands down the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Yes it’s older but don’t be fooled. Rooms are super quiet and cozy. Muffins in the mornings are fresh and as good as home. Very neat little place. We will definitely stay again when we don’t have our camper !

This is an older place but it was clean and comfortable. There is no hot breakfast but they have fresh made muffins and coffee that were really good. They have daily housekeeping and the water pressure in the shower was good with plenty of hot water. The price was reasonable and I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in Ruidoso.

This place knows hospitality. It’s on a busy road but they have white noise machines you can use during peak seasons. If there aren’t a bunch of tourists you don’t need them. The coffee is wonderful as well as the warm muffins. Everything is immaculately clean. Beds are comfortable and the owner makes sure that quiet time is enforced. Can’t wait to go back.

I had a great stay at the Sitzmark Chalet Inn in Ruidoso. The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet, which made for a very relaxing stay. Everything felt well-maintained and thoughtfully put together. The real bonus? The morning muffins — such a simple touch, but they were warm, fresh, and hit the spot. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and peaceful place to stay in Ruidoso.

Thank you ladies and we will definitely be back to stay again soon!

Sitzmark Chalet is a great property. Staff were friendly and attentive. The room was wonderful and the fireplace was a nice touch. The only downside is that it is on the main drag with lots of traffic noise and some shady folks walking by.

Older motel, but in excellent condition and very clean. Great location close to downtown areas, but not within walking distance. Main street is in front, so there is a little road noise, but not later at night. Not much traffic past 8 or 9 pm. Lisa at the front desk was very nice and helpful. I'd stay here again if ever in the area.

What a great little spot! It was clean, the staff was a great mix of friendly and professional. The suana was exactly what I needed. The freshly baked muffins were perfect. The coffee is weak and flavored... so I drove to Starbucks to get some coffee. I prefer local coffee shops but Ruidoso was asleep while we were there. Limited choices for food, etc...
