Perfect location at this friendly retro motel just a few minutes from White Sands National Park! The staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was fresh and tasty! We loved that they have plastic sleds to borrow at the park (this saved us fifty dollars!) this place exceeded our expectations.

Really lovely stay, we had such a friendly welcome when we arrived and had a great sized room that was super clean.
As it was out of season, it wasn’t too busy so was nice and quiet plus easy to park!
Great location too, plenty of restaurants and fast food places nearby and it was a short distance from White Sands NP so perfect for us.

Clean, comfortable, friendly service, and good breakfast.
Great value. Beats the other chain lodging offerings easily, especially for price and breakfast options.

I would gladly return to Classic Desert Aire if I should have reason to revisit Alamogordo. It was very comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and offers a nice selection. 'Lobby'space/ gift shop and reception desk offers an exceptional variety of art and souvenirs, AND even has sledding disks to borrow and use at nearby White Sands National Monument. The only suggestion is to ensure that the room is dusted before guests arrive. (It was extremely windy and airborne dust filled the skies for a few days, most likely the reason the room definitely could have used a good dusting... just saying...)
