100% would not recommend

My family I made a reservation here from the 20th to 21st of April. We booked through hotels.com. Got charged $200. On the day of I tried to call to confirm and no one would answer. This was before 6pm. We arrived to find no one there at all. It was around 7 pm. We had to go find accommodations elsewhere and it was very difficult on our family.
No one was there, we triple checked everywhere to see if there was maybe an envelope with our name and room key.
Very disheartening when we made it here and no one was here at all. We were very surprised.

Not advertised clearly

It is a very convenient location if you are skiing- because of that I would consider staying again. But that’s the only reason. It advertises that all rooms come with a TV- well they do have a TV screen, but no cable or antenna/ nothing. Not even a remote control. When told the front desk - they said “ya you have to bring a fire stick or something. And we will get some new remote controls ordered”. - thanks for the heads up. LOL It was not very clean. (Mainly because everything is old and needs a good deep clean) but had old coffee in coffee pot, Bobby pins on floor, etc. it was fine for the teenage boys I brought skiing though: we stayed on a Thursday night and sipapu restaurant is not open on Thursday nights either. So pack food, and something to plug into a TV. Because after 5:00 there’s nothing to do.

Pretty disappointing as on site restaurant closed early and before arrival so had to drive to find dinner. Staff shortage that wasn’t disclosed at time of booking. Next day the only way to get food was through online app that was down along with a water main break. So again no food other than a package of pop tarts found in their “store”. The room itself was dirty with piece of chewed gum on floor and pistachio shells. No working tv either. Beds were comfortable at least and was more quiet than expected.

The only good thing about this resort is the ski mountain itself. Staff is rude, not welcoming in any way whatsoever, hotel room was hardly clean, and the “cafe/restaurant” stated it was open yet they don’t actually have any tables to dine in. This resort has so much potential yet it’s rated 2 stars for a reason.

worst "resort" ever!

The room was filthy. The beds were sagging in the middle. The heater did not work. The manager was extremely rude. The clerk was kind and apologetic. We did not stay here because the room was so awful and the manager was extremely unhospitable. I will never consider staying at Sipapu again.

Off-Season--hopefully better when season arrives.

We stayed at Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort off-season and it showed. There were people there who appeared to be workers and hopefully everything will be better when the season arrives. We arrived just before dark and had to drive all the way to Taos to find somewhere to eat.

1st I booked a cabin online but it wasnt a cabin at all once I got there. Then the room wasnt cleaned after waiting 3hrs for it to become available. So had to wait another hour for maids to clean it. Then once finally got into the room there was no AC! I didn't stay at this property.
