MCM Elegante Lodge & Suites Ruidoso

MCM Elegante Lodge & Suites Ruidoso

8/10 Good
"The staff are amazing, the morning breakfast was excellent. The negative comes from the property itself, Our toilet was barely operational and ran all night. At one point we had to have it snaked and cleared. Grout fell out of the grout joints, and we booked the stay specifically for the well advertised hot tub which is broke and apparently been broke for a long time."
