Within walking to the heart of Old Mesilla. Safe neighborhood. Lovely accommodations. Close to many other attractions within driving distance for day trips. Went up to Cloudcroft, Lincoln National Forest, and caught sunset at White Sands on the way back. Did Hatch, T or C, Elephant Butte, the next day. Highway 28 is a nice scenic drive. But, be sure to save lots of time to spend right in Old Mesilla.
