This property is one of the best in Ruidoso and surrounding areas. Hotel is very well-kept. Rooms are quiet and clean. Beds are fluffy and sheets are soft and luxurious. Breakfast is famous for eggs made-to-order by friendly chef. Special thanks goes to CARMEN She is the leader in the Buffett area and a dynamo at keeping all in check. She gives a smile and a warm welcome to all. In spite of the December crowds (with crying babies and demanding patrons) Carmen makes you feel that the food is tastier, just by her awesome service and superbly positive attitude. Carmen is a huge asset in Elegante Lodge and Resort!
