Search hotels in Alamogordo

We didn't spend much time in Alamogordo. We drove from San Antonio TX, with the purpose of going to White Sands Natural Area. Staying in Alamogordo puts you about 14 miles, easy drive to the area. There are multiple restaurants and gas stations and coffee shops. Some of the restaurant chains were Appleby's, Chili's, Denny's, Starbucks and plenty of other known chains. Along with several Asian restaurants.

Alamogordo is a small town, but hosts many businesses and restaurants. There is an excellent Space Museum, White Sands National Monument, downtown zoo, and local museum. It is a fun destination for families or weekend get-aways.

There is some for everyone here!!! The White Sands are simply amazing!!! If you take a short drive north you will see so many amazing sites, from the beautiful elk roaming the mountains all the way down to precious bunny rabbits running around town..

The NM Space Museum in town was quite good. The town is also just a stones throw from White Sands National Park. Seems a good place to stop during a road trip. Be sure to stick with chain hotels to increase your chances of a better experience.

Alamogordo is the hidden gem of southern New Mexico. Perfect small town feel. The people are friendly and "down home" courteous. Modern lodging options mixed in with local staples for great food and entertainment. Visitors would be wise to explore the mom & pop eateries, especially for Mexican food. CJ's Si Senor and Rizo's Authentic Mexican Restaurant are among our favorites when we're craving some spicy goodness. If you like to explore, try White Sands National Park, the New Mexico Museum of Space History, and the cute Alameda Park Zoo. Plenty to do and see here!

I was there visiting my nephew who was new to the Air Force and stationed at Holloman AFB. I loved the desert mountains! Coming from NC, the warm, dry heat was pure relief. Although the area was somewhat depressed, it was a welcome change. With plenty of wide open spaces and the best picturesque sunsets and sunrises, I really loved it. There’s plenty to do nearby with even more to do a short distance away at Las Crueses and El Paso. I learned of the casino on the Indian reservation late in my stay, still I went twice and ended up winning $20. I plan to return, I liked it that much!
