Very old historic hotel. Friendly staff. Remodeled. Clean. Right on the square
When they say an old place, they mean it! The place was clean, but the pillows were horrible!! Great staff!
Beautiful old hotel. Convenient area to shops and restaurants. Try gorge grill across parking lot.
I have visited Taos several times and wanted to make this trip special by staying at this historic hotel. It was everything I hoped it would be, excellent service and a small but lovely room. The location is right in the middle of town so most things are close. The parking lot is easy and very convenient. I feel I got more of a true Taos experience staying here.
Got a hotel at the last minute here due to weather and it was perfect. Staff was super friendly and the room was clean & comfortable. Plenty of things near by and being in the plaza was cute
tad spendy, but the atmosphere and ambience is great. can't beat staying right on the main Taos plaza. check out the art exhibit while you're there.
Beds are a tad firm for my liking, but clean, warm and well serviced makes up for personal preference. Food is great and though laid back, the service is attentive. To my mind that is the best, no pressure approach to hotel stays!
Very nice small hotel in the middle of the town. Sheldon was very helpful with accommodations and recommendations, and helped us store our ski gear overnight. Would stay again.
Rooms are dated, but very nicely upgraded. Layouts of the rooms is really not done well in my opinion. The ENTIRE staff was incredible in every way. Location, location, location. Would have been nice if the restaurant was open while we were there, but bang for the buck was well worth our stay.
Great little cafe. Nice place for a coffee and pastry!!
The hotel is historical and has beautiful architectural elements. There are so many little nuances that make it beautiful! We stayed in a single room with a king bed that overlooked the plaza out front. The room was a little small for two people but it felt cozy (not cramped) so we enjoyed it. The location was great! Right on the edge of a little square with walking access to shops and restaurants. I would certainly stay here again and recommend it to anyone staying in Taos!
Clean rooms, comfortable beds. Staff was ok, I asked about the restaurant (there's a menu outside) and was told it wasn't open. Asked for recommendations and the response was, "i don't eat", I'm sure you know someone that does. Kinda condescending
Very nice historical hotel at historical area. Clean room with wood floor. Very hard to find somewhere else. Something not good is no free breakfast. Something worse is even no tea bags provided. But overall, it is good.
Shabby room. Nowhere to sit. Front desk was no help. Cut my stay to 1 night so I could find a better hotel. Complete disappointment
I tried to cancel 24 hrs. + in advance of a reservation due to illness and change of plans. The front desk lady was very rude and told me I had to go through Expedia. I then contacted Expedia, and Expedia told me it was up to the hotel. I then called the front desk lady back, and the lady admitted that she had lied, and that it was up to the hotel to decide whether to waive a cancellation fee. I told her that charging me and then renting the room to someone else would result in a double recovery for the hotel. She then hung up on me. Rude. Unprofessional. Should not be dealing with customers. I will never stay here again.
Incredible historic hotel tons of personality
200 years old and holding up pretty well. Great location right on Taos Plaza and just a few steps from restaurants, coffee, art galleries, and every New Mexican tchotchke you can think of to take home to your friends and family! While historic and beautifully renovated, I found some of the decor (specifically the furniture) to be a little dated and inconsistent with the pueblo design elements elsewhere. The room was pretty small but adequate enough for me, for one night. However, I was placed next door to a couple that were clearly intoxicated and argued uncomfortably for hours. This normally wouldn’t have been a big deal, but my room shared a very thin door with them so I had no other option but to do my best to ignore their bickering. I fell asleep with earbuds. The bathroom was well appointed and I loved the shower head. Front desk was kind, friendly, and efficient, as was the coffee shop upfront. I wish I could give 4.5 stars as my overall stay was pretty good, but my neighbors that night and the thinness of the walls and doors kinda bothered my stay. I wish I could recall which room I was in (maybe #10) - it was near the elevator. Oh, one more thing, be sure to check out the DH Lawrence room with those shocking early 20th century nude paintings! Funny how different things are now!
You can’t find a more authentic, affordable, convenient, and comfortable place to stay in Taos.
Friendly staff, great art, great location, breakfast cafe and coffee shop on site, rooms a bit pricy for very simple space.
I'm giving one star because even though I spoke to the front desk (in person) the evening before we checked out when I discovered there was a problem with a clogged sink in our bathroom (see the photo), nothing was done about it nor did we hear from management. Upon check out, the front desk acknowledged that she received the message and had already let maintenance know. However, we were already in order to check out so she called someone to help us with our luggage which was the only good thing that occurred during our stay here and we tipped the young man (Jorge?) very well for helping us with our bags as my BF fell ill and was very weak. We stayed here three nights and it was OK other than this incident of the disgusting clogged sink because of a huge hairball that had what looked like bile in it plus there was a dental floss pick on the floor indicating no one vacuumed before we checked in AND there was a dead fly squashed in the bathroom door jam. I mentioned all these things to the front desk who said he would pass it along and I truly believe he did. I told him I would rather rectify the situation before I posted a negative review on social media but that was almost two months ago and we have heard nothing from management and were charged full price for the room. I understand this is a 220 year old hotel (it is NOT affiliated with LaFonda of Santa Fe) and sometimes check systems fail but unfortunately, the sheer disregard by management has soured us and we will never stay here again. Finally, the location is not all its cracked up to be. All the businesses in the square close super early (by 8pm) and even finding a restaurant open for dinner at 7:30pm is a challenge. The sidewalks are crumbling in Taos and it is not well lit at all. The backside of the hotel is eerie so we had a rough night walking to a nearby restaurant and back. Also there was a lot of road construction near the hotel and traffic was a nightmare.
