This unique inn is beautiful and an ideal place to stay. The location is perfect, especially if you’re looking to walk to many attractions. The parking is easy to access. The building itself is old and historic but well maintained and holds individualistic charm. The only drawbacks are that there was no hot water on occasion and it was loud at night, despite us being in the “quietest rooms”.

This building & hotel is 200 yrs old which makes it fun and interesting. Definitely an earlier era shows up here. Rather fun. However, if you’re looking for a fancy & new, bright, shiny hotel this isn’t it. The rooms are small but adequate, and clean; but a bit dated and could be upgraded even within the old theme. The hotel was very quiet; but the typical AC/fridge noise required some ear plugs. There are no meals served; but, it’s very easy to get food in Taos! The front desk staff was very knowledgeable about places to eat & visit. Parking was easy too. We’d definitely go back, as it’s a fun history lesson and requires you to slow down! Very easy to access good food, lots of galleries & shops around the plaza. If you want authentic this would be the place to stay!
