Beautiful area. Our room are old and worn down. The lamp shade was crushed and chairs are soooo old. The shower curtain is old. The knob on shower fell off. The place is super cute and would be so nice with a little money put into it... updates and nicer furniture/bedding/decor/etc. The staff is very nice and helpful and pleasant. We interacted briefly with 3 different people and all were nice and helpful.

Rooms were clean and safe, but showing their age a bit. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking lot needs better lighting.

Parking was easy right in front of cabin.
Cabin however, was only one step above outdoor camping. Be prepared for it.
This was the worst place I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t stay there! So they said they would refund me the $441 for the 3 nights I was going to stay and I left! Instead of refunding they charged me another $441! The couch was super old and falling apart. The light fixture for the kitchen was in the floor. The rugs were worn and dirty. The room and bathroom were not clean. The bedding was awful. I’d rather sleep in my truck than in that terrible place which is what I did! Beware
Clean room. Squishy feel floor. Old mildew smell in staircase going to room. Shelf in bathroom and patio door needed repairs. Light in bathroom flickered. Nice staff.
We needed a king size bed...they only had it on 2nd floor which we have a hard time going up the stairs. Had to settle for 2 bed queen which only one bed was used. Did not sleep comfortably.
This is an old fashioned drive up to the door motel with a gravel parking lot. There was no AC but none was needed in the mountains, even in August. It is minutes away from the Cumbres & Toltec train station.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
Cabin itself was fine. Dirty old dishes, coffee grounds from the last occupant still in coffee pot, WiFi never worked despite “it will be on in an hour” from staff. Shampoo and soap dispenser in shower both broken. Front desk staff said will bring soap to me… didn’t happen. Room didn’t have microwave, they brought me one. Didn’t work. Generous with two stars.
