There were bugs all over the hotel room and when I spoke to the front desk about it she said “we recently sprayed for them” and then pointed out they were also all over the lobby. Just extremely lazy to not even pick up the dead carcasses. She instantly locked the lobby after that so i couldn’t talk to her more. Not to mention the lobby was locked when we tried to check in and had a sign on the door that we had to come back an hour later (we showed up right at check in time) they refused to refund either of our two nights even when we didn’t stay the second night.

"Quirky" has been used and is accurate. Very non-traditional bath arrangement in room 11, but a good stay overall. Staff was exceptional. I was going to be getting in late, so I called ahead and they got me checked in easily. Excellent communication, and I'm sorry I didn't get the girl's name, but THANK YOU.

Reservation not found

I stayed at TML for two nights, April 19-21 and have previously stayed there. I had made two reservations through Hotels.com for April 19 and 20. The first was for two rooms for two nights and the second was for one room for two nights. When I arrived on April 19, the person at the front desk said that she only had the first reservation - the one for two rooms for two nights. I showed her my email confirmations but she said she didn't see anything beyond the first reservation. She said she did have one room available so I took that room but was charged a higher rate than my original Hotels.com booking.

Fantastic location!

We had a fantastic day at this location. Felt very safe, everything was recently renovated, and really cute style. This was definitely our best hotel motel stay we have had in a very long time. Highly recommend anyone going through the area. This is a great place to stay at super easy. Check in and check out comfortable beds, clean and modern.

Quiet good place. Needs a little more attention to detail (cleaning under beds, preventing chairs from scraping walls, etc). Overall pretty good and a nice quiet hotel with good food options nearby.

Excellent place to stop for a family of six with four children and two adults. Very nicely furnished. Only thing it needs is a microwave or a pot for the kitchen to boil water.

I Want To Stay!!!

This hotel is the best priced, cleanest, boutique style, local art, place that you will find in Taos. Guaranteed! The staff are utterly amazing, helpful, warm and welcoming. You will be thrilled that you chose to stay here. I know I sure was and did not want to stay. If I didn't have a very long destination point to get to, I would have chosen to stay.

I’ve stayed at Taos Motor Lodge several times before and always found it to be a clean and comfortable spot, but this last visit was extremely disappointing—and will definitely be my last. We booked a room with two beds. One of the platform beds was broken and completely unusable, and the other had an uncomfortable springy mattress that made no sense for a platform with wooden slats. Not sure what kind of setup that is supposed to be, but it certainly didn’t make for a restful night. The quality has gone way downhill. The linens were so itchy we couldn’t sleep well, and the sofa looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. I reached out to complain, and instead of acknowledging the actual problem with the broken bed, the person responding via text just kept talking about the TV setup (which was also overly complicated and frustrating to use). My parents came along on this trip and were just as uncomfortable as I was. Nothing about this stay felt like the calm, cozy experience we used to have here. Really disappointed. Not coming back.
