Room was clean and comfortable. AC/heat great. Bathroom updated and nice. Owners very responsive. All done through phone call and text. Easy and flexible checkin and out, no waiting in line at a desk and meeting office hours. Cafe is quaint and provides great coffee. Can order meals ahead to be served. Only had time for morning coffee but it was hot, ready as advertised and delicious. Grounds safe and beautiful.

Wonderful updated boutique motel. I had the room with the private hot tub and it was wonderful! Very cozy and comfortable room and setting. Hosts are nice, the breakfast (separate charge) was delicious. Close to Taos but out of the main area. Definitely would stay again!

What a beautiful motel. I know a lot of time and love went into remodeling the motel and rooms. Our room, The Quartz was beautiful, and the beds and linens - perfect. Breakfast was amazing, and the hosts/owners are so friendly. I love that the eggs for breakfast come right from the hens on site. I would definitely recommend this rare find.

A perfect place and experience

Our stay could not have been more perfect. The location is perfect. It's so close to town but far enough away. The room was adorable—super thoughtful decor. The breakfast and, yes, the blueberry muffins are amazing. So is the coffee and any breakfast item you choose. It is a super welcoming experience and a great deal for the price

Hiking trip

I loved the vibe here in this wonderful little hotel in Ranchos De Taos. I stayed for a couple nights in the Alegria room, which came with a guitar! The room was comfortable and clean, and I appreciated the custom Spotify playlist. Sodas and snacks were available in my room’s mini fridge. Breakfast was outstanding—the fresh blueberry muffins are worth the hype. Nice owners, too!

Desert boutique

Once we got the lowdown on the property from the owner - its a very old adobe being refurbished - and not really a 'posh' boutique, the accommodation and surround made sense. So - a bit of a discrepancy between the write-up and the experience.

We had a little confusing in the check in but it was worked out. I had read that the breakfast was great, however, we are vegetarians so i thought we wouldn't get to eat. When we entered the dining area we talked with the owners who make all the food themselves. They were able to make our order vegetarian. It was the most amazing breakfast ever. The blueberry crumble muffins and the breakfast burritos were unbelievable.

Beautiful, great breakfast, but quite small.

The proprietors have done a beautiful job of renovating and remodeling an old motel. The design and quality of work done are excellent. The landscaping is good, and will be developing into excellent as plants mature. The home cooked breakfast is great. The only reservation, that prevented an "excellent" overall all rating, is that the units are very small. Ours measured about 15' x 21', and this included the bathroom, which was about 7' x 9'. The sink was tiny, and a small shelf substituted for a larger countertop. We would recommend this place for somebody traveling light, who wouldn't feel the need to spend much time in the unit.
