Great motel and appreciate the door code for entering withoit hassle

Staff sent me information to enter room before i arrived. Did not have to check in at office, was able to straight to room. Located right by amazing restaraunt! Was so nice!

It is an older motel and quaint! It fit its name, Smokey Bear motel! The room and the beds were clean, had extra towels already in room, water in frig, snacks in a welcoming bowl, and a coffee pot! We were there for 2 nights for a family graduation!

Coming here for many years , nice small town atmosphere and reasonable prices

Smokey Bear is great!

Super nice staff, excellent housekeeping. This historical hotel is old but so comfortable with great tv, coffee, fridge , micro, toiletries etc. This should be your definite “stay” place when in Capitan.

As other reviewers have said, our room decor was cute and clean. The property itself seemed dated and in need of a handyman to repaint front doors and re-caulk the bathroom. Mattress was firm, maybe too firm for my back. Only one lock on the door, which was surprising in this day and age. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly, and the water bottles and snack basket left for us in the room were kind touches. Honestly, even though the Smokey Bear Hotel was 25 minutes north of Ruidoso, we chose to stay there to avoid steep taxes and fees in town.

Gardner was amazing in helping us in checking in to the motel.

Friendly staff. Comfortable room. Fresh mint for tea growing in the garden. It was a very enjoyable stay.

Had a wonderful experience at SmokeyBear Motel! This is an older property with a few rough edges, but it was clean as could be, the water was very hot with great pressure, and all the amenities (fridge, microwave, coffee maker) were in "like new"condition! Carpet appears new, and the bed was comfortable and had great pillows. There's a restaurant in the parking lot and others within an eady walk. And the Smokey Bear Historical Park is right next door!
