Hotels in Las CrucesA full-service mid-range hotel with Southwestern character and resort-style amenities
8.3/10
Warm service and an appealing pool outweigh rooms that need updating.
Hotel Encanto is a full-service mid-range hotel with Spanish Colonial styling, not the luxury resort its marketing suggests. It's a strong pick if you want more character and amenities than a standard highway hotel. Tripadvisor, Expedia and HotelPlanner guests repeatedly praise the welcoming staff, comfortable beds and generally clean rooms. The landscaped pool and hot tub are standout draws, with a restaurant, bars, gym and spa rounding out the offering.
The main compromise is room condition: recent guests describe worn carpets, dated furnishings and too few convenient outlets. Dining and bar hours also frustrate some travelers, so check what's operating before planning an evening around the hotel. A mandatory nightly amenity fee covers parking, Wi-Fi and recreation facilities; breakfast costs extra. We'd skip it if you want freshly updated rooms or a walkable base for historic Mesilla.
