I had been in Las Cruces for a month for work, and my family came out to visit for the last week I was there. This condo was way better than my extended stay hotel, that's for sure! Very welcoming from the moment we walked in the door. One of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in in my entire life. It's in a great location within walking distance of some of my favorite restaurants in the area (~.5 mile in both directions). It's right near to parking, so you don't have to worry about lugging luggage far, and the pool is right out the back door. The kids absolutely loved it.
You're just about an hour from White Sands National Monument, which is a must every time I'm out that way. I recommend horseback riding in Ruidoso as well.
Pro tip: There were only 5 towels there and 6 of us, so bring a few extra if you can, especially if you're going to use the pool.
