Stay was okay. Run down and needs lots of approvement.
Very different hotel. Every room is different. The shower in the bathroom wasn't that great.

It was quaint, but only 8 rooms, all on the 2nd floor with no elevator so we needed to climb relatively steep stairs outside to get to the 2nd floor. If anyone is expecting a typicaly motel room , this does not fit the bill.

This was a very eclectic, unusual and fun place to say very close to the Antonito train station we were there to enjoy a scenic railway trip!
We had the only room with a king bed and kitchenette, good restaurants nearby!
We recommend!

Very small hotel, rooms were up stairs. Very limited choices in Antonito but this worked well for our Steam Train plans. The rooms were above the old bank and were formally a brothel to suppler the train workers according to the pizza shop guy. We would stay there again but there are some limitations
We arrived early and we greeted well. The only thing was there dirty dishes in the sink as this was a suite and could cook. The jetted tub is huge with really no safe way to get in unless you are very young and spry. There needs to be a little step so you can get safely in and out. Other than those 2 things it was marvelous. So cute and comfortable.

Throwback to past very unique property. No lobby which led to some confusion in my part.
Overall we were happy with our stay. Paul was very nice and made sure he showed us everything pertinent. 2 minor complaints...the air conditioner was noisy, and the shower head, which is huge! And had plenty of water pressure, did not work for my height ( 5'). Like i said...minor
Had a really nice time here. There is a lot of character in this small hotel in this really small town. If you are wanting to be in the area for outdoorsing (most likely, I'd guess) it is a nice alternative to camping.
I always love staying in The Steam Train Hotel when I’m going through Antonito in the San Luis Valley. It’s cute, and the staff are wonderful. It’s a great place to stay if you’re going to ride the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. And the stay includes a continental breakfast with a little bit of everything for everyone. This was my second stay, and I’ll be back!
The property owner met us promptly and gave us a thorough tour of the building. The hotel was charming and full of history, and the pool table in the common area was a great bonus! Excellent stay.

Unique older property with great character. Barking dog outside was occasionally annoying
The room was like a suite and the owners helped with local sites, restaurants and carrying our luggage.
They were organized and placed antques on the hallway making the rooms feel homey.
