This hotel is historical, has charm. The decor is outdated but is part of the charm. It is in a great location in the plaza so it was easy to access and centrally located. In our suite there was no central air so the bedroom got warm at night. The Internet connection was intermittent and weak. If you want to stay for the history and charm then it is good but we would choose to stay in a more luxury place next time.

Nice 200 year old hotel in downtown Taos. We booked a room with fireplace but unfortunately it was not working. Also the walls are paper thin, we could hear clearly the conversation our neighbors were having. Very beautiful paintings and it has a secret room with D. H. Lawrence paintings with a cool history how they came to own it. Does not provide breakfast but it has a coffee place on the premises. Parking is 10$. I would recommend it with the caveats above.

Room was fine, nothing special, but clean. Mini split AC great addition. I found the bed uncomfortable but my partner didn't mind it. Our only complaint was the coffee pot had serious scaling and "floaters". Staff all very nice. Wonderful location to local spots.

Old Hotel with squeaky floors and thin walls but I didn’t mind at as I enjoy historical architecture. It was still a pretty quiet place to stay and the bed was very comfortable. Probably not for someone who is easily bothered by noise.
