View was nice, location is very close to ski run road. more on TripAdvisor

I didn't like the unfriendly staff and the that's not my job attitude we encountered with one of the staff members. more on Yahoo! Travel

I know, in the mountains a cabin is the lodging of choice, but if the cabins are full, this is a great place to stay. more on igougo

An older hotel that was probably great in it's day. more on Yahoo! Travel

After arriving at the Swiss Chalet for our long awaited "girls trip", we were a little dissapointed. The online pics were very deceiving and we were severly overcharged (the marquee stated $69/night- we paid $120 online for the same ... more on Yahoo! Travel

At our arrival we noticed the upkeep of the exterior was shabby. When we checked in we were told the lounge and dinning room had been closed. Our room was stated as "non-smoking" but smelled of stale smoke and "whatever else smells". ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Great locatopm in a very well kept secret of a city. However, checking in was a nightmare. Phone kept ringing and single (as in working alone)clerk kept answering and making me wait. What should have been a 90 second in ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I loved the view from upstairs. You can see pine trees for miles and miles. It's not right in the middle "of all the excitement" in Ruidoso but is very close. Just a tiny drive away. So you get a secluded feel but with just a small ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Less than Motel 6, but nowhere else to stay. The Good: Location is great! Access couldn't be better. There are really only a couple places one can stay in Alto/Ruidoso for less than $100/night and the ... more on TripAdvisor

First of all Ruidoso, NM is one of my favorite places on earth. It is one of the few cool weather pine tree escapes in south NM and west TX. The Swiss Chalet is located about 4 miles from the busy par ... more on TripAdvisor

I have stayed at the Swiss Chalet Inn many times but it has slowly gone down. It now is in need of being torn down and rebuilt to its original greatness. During my recent visit the motel room was diml ... more on TripAdvisor

Spacious rooms, but very old and worn furnishings, mattresses were very cheap with paper -thin mattress pads. Indoor pool was warm and fun for the kids. View was nice, location is very close to ski ru ... more on TripAdvisor

From the very beginning the staff was super friendly. We booked a room online the day before, but when we checked in we asked if there were better rooms. The manager took us to three different rooms t ... more on TripAdvisor

""On the day we stayed, there was some snow in Ruidoso so we were told the cleaning crew could not get to work. Our two rooms were not ready until 8:30pm! At 4:00pm, we were told another 1 1/2 hours, when we went back, we were told ... more on Travelocity.com
