Super nice staff, excellent housekeeping. This historical hotel is old but so comfortable with great tv, coffee, fridge , micro, toiletries etc. This should be your definite “stay” place when in Capitan.

10/10 Excellent

This motel, while not the fanciest place in the world was perfect for what I wanted. I was looking for a quiet place to spend a few days away from people but still feel like home. The room was very cozy and almost felt like a well worn cabin. The diner in the parking lot served great food. It was peaceful and relaxing just like I wanted

Small town gem!

Had a wonderful experience at SmokeyBear Motel! This is an older property with a few rough edges, but it was clean as could be, the water was very hot with great pressure, and all the amenities (fridge, microwave, coffee maker) were in "like new"condition! Carpet appears new, and the bed was comfortable and had great pillows. There's a restaurant in the parking lot and others within an eady walk. And the Smokey Bear Historical Park is right next door!

Met Our Needs

As other reviewers have said, our room decor was cute and clean. The property itself seemed dated and in need of a handyman to repaint front doors and re-caulk the bathroom. Mattress was firm, maybe too firm for my back. Only one lock on the door, which was surprising in this day and age. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly, and the water bottles and snack basket left for us in the room were kind touches. Honestly, even though the Smokey Bear Hotel was 25 minutes north of Ruidoso, we chose to stay there to avoid steep taxes and fees in town.
