This is advertised as a resort but we had to beg for extra towels, coffee and shampoo. Nothing about this place aligns with a resort. Staff seem pressured to hold the company line. Will not go back.

There were multiple dark black hair strands on the shower wall and some on the batbroom floor. Apparently the room was not very well cleaned. Also a hair on the bed sheets.

Perfect location. Walked to shops, restaurants, and bars. My room had a gas fireplace and the hotel was full of history and charm. When I come back to Taos this will be my preferred place to stay. Only negative was I thought the parking was included but it was an extra $10/day. But it's a great rate even at $10 more.

The property was a great location within walking distance to many dining options and stores for shopping. The room was was on the small side but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a loft area to hang out with couches and tables and chairs. The staff was friendly as well.

Lots of character and history in this hotel. We enjoyed using the common areas during our stay and had a great breakfast in the dining room the following morning. The hotel is right on the plaza and everything you want is a short walk from there.
