This is a great place to stay if you are planning a visit to Taos. Everything is updated. We stayed here two years ago when the owners were just starting renovations. Great price.

When we got to the hotel, I was charged more than a $50 deposit and no one could tell me why. There was no hot water in the water pressure or shower was not even existent when we called the front desk. They said someone would be there in 30 to 45 minutes to fix our issue. No one ever showed up.

Staff was great. Unfortunately, the room was just clean enough, shower was kind of scary (mold?), no ice available, 15 minutes to heat shower, sink was 100% clogged.

Like if someone wanted to make chic an old motel but didn't know how to do it. Toilet/shower separated from vanity by a fabric curtain, but the vanity is completely open to the rest of the room! Cheap window shades don't fit window properly, so light entered the room all night. Staff got exasperated with me when I asked where the room coffee was- who knew it would be in an armoire? Parking is in 3 rows, so beware negotiating to your space in front of your room. A/C unit load as a freight train. Bring an eye mask and ear plugs.

Nice suprise

From the street the hotel looks dated and you expect to be disappointed. After a pleasant & friendly check in I opened my door and I knew I had made a good decision. The room was updated in a high quality way and was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend.

Nice place for a budget stay. I could hear the road noise a little, but not bad. Spartan and clean, just what I was looking for. Quick straight drive to downtown Taos.
