The Classic Desert Aire Hotel

I was pleased with this property upon arrival and seeing the adorable boutique at check in. The property is well situated and the room was spacious. The most luxurious thing was having FULL SIZE bath sheets for after a shower. Being able to completely dry off and wrap in a towel was much appreciated. The room also had a small table with two chairs for eating takeout and a separate desk for work if needed. The bed was comfortable and despite having an exterior door, room was quite quiet. Did not use breakfast or pool, but both were offered and appeared to be of good quality. The exterior hallways were well lit at night/early morning and were camera monitored for safety/security. There is a pet relief area and waste station available.

The breakfast was outstanding! The Classic menu is included in your stay and is made to order. I'm used to breakfast buffets at restaurants, so this was a great perk and consistently good. My hubby loved the breakfast burrito! We were headed to White Sands and were pleasantly surprised they had sleds and wax to borrow for the day. There were many lunch and dinner options nearby as well.

The mattress was very broken down as you sit down and try and sleep all night it hurt my back and didn't get a well-rested night. The curtains would not fully close as I am a single female anybody could just look in walking by with the light on which made me feel uneasy. I didn't have a clamp for my hair to keep it closed as curtains could be done that way. Overall it was a pleasant stay in the room was clean but a little unnerving trying to get a good night's sleep.

Breakfast was good but slow to come out (30mins for one person). The lobby had a nice gift shop with items from local artist and some more mainstream tourist souvenirs. Room was clean and everything worked.

Great location. Always reliable when passing through town. Love that they are pet friendly. Love the breakfast. Staff is always helpful. The facility is a little dated. The room we stayed in did not have a working AC, but staff was very accommodating and upgraded our room which ended up being great! Love the gift shop!
