There were two restaurants within a minute walk. A nice deck to sit on, a common area with a pool table. Lots of historic memorabilia. Close to the train station.

Great old hotel
Perfect location. Everything was in walking distance. Fun funky place with a lot of character. Wasn’t a fan of the steps but the deck was great. Nice hot steamy shower and the bed was comfy though could have used a couple more pillows. The breakfast choices were lacking but there’s a great place right across the street.

This is not your steel and plastic holiday inn. It is a step back in time! It is clean, quaint, western inn. Paul, the owner, is a native Antonnian, is very nice, doing whatever he can to make tor stay enjoyable. A nice, small deck area is available. Paul will make a recommendation about restaurants. I would definitely stay there again!!
The Steam Train Hotel is a unique, period hotel which is commiserate with the vibe of Antonito CO. The Four Seasons this is not, but it was clean. All of the fixtures and features of the room worked just fine and security was decent for this small town America location. If you're in town to ride or watch trains, this hotel is a great way to get into the spirit of things.
Decorations are unique and interesting. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast variety was great. Large bathtub was a challenge to get in and out for senior people. Didn't know all rooms required going upstairs with no elevator available.
When we arrived we had to call a number on the door of the restaurant in order to get the manager. He did show up quickly. This is not handicap accessible. The area around the hotel was a bit shady. We quickly realized there was no one on the street. Antonito is like a ghost town. The room was small for a king bed. The bed was comfortable and a bit noisy the night we stayed. The restaurant smells from the first floor permeated the room. If you’re staying there to ride the Cumbre Toltec railroad it is a killer location. Won’t stay there again. We’ll drive the 40 min back to Alamosa.
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.

Funky Place, Not Bad!
The Steam Train is a funky old place--1911 vintage building rooms with old furniture. Our room had a nice bathroom with a great big old claw foot tub. Perfectly fine place to stay on a budget. Their breakfast room has a generous supply of food in general, and a nice pool table. Access is not good if you have mobility problems, as you must climb a steep outdoor stairway to get to the rooms. We (71 yrs old) had no problem. If you aren't looking for luxury and like funky, you will enjou your stay.

Throwback to past very unique property. No lobby which led to some confusion in my part.
Really enjoyed this hotel! Nice comfy bed and very sweet to us. Thank you we will be back!

The hotel was unique. We enjoyed our stay very much. With all the antiques and history we felt like it took us back in time. Was very enjoyable. The owner Paul was super nice. Gave us all the information and direction we needed for a great stay. We would stay there again!
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.
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 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.
The people could not have been nicer so the rating is not a reflection on them. The property is in poor condition and the room was way overpriced. Beds were fine but the electrify didn’t work in the bathroom. The communication was a problem because there was no place to check in. We went into the restaurant and they called someone to meet us. The breakfast was a little game room with one table and pop tarts. We made our own coffee. There aren’t a lot of options in town but this one needs updating.
