All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
All rooms are on the second floor and access is only by a steep set of uncovered stairs. No handicap aids anywhere. Breakfast area is in game room consists largely of frozen items and a microwave oven.
The hotel was very unique. We had help with bringing our bags to the room and making sure the tv worked. They have a very nice common area where they have a variety of breakfast foods we could use. There were games, puzzles, books, and a pool table we could use. Each room was unique, ours had a whirlpool bath, a full kitchen and a separate bedroom.

Unique older property with great character. Barking dog outside was occasionally annoying
Very unique and friendly. The owners are trying hard to make you comfortable. Historical building with lots of antique furniture and memorabilia.

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!

There was pros and cons with this property. PROS: (1) When checking in, Paul was most helpful and nice. (2) We learned from another guest who knows the area that this is the best place to stay. (3) It is a 5-minute drive to get to the Cumbres & Toltec railroad station. (4) Some nice antiques on the upper floor. (5) There is a nice selection of breakfast foods including items like a frozen burrito that could be microwaved. There is a coffee pot that customers use to make their own coffee. CONS: (1) Windows need to be open to let in air. We had a corner room next to a patio and had to smell marijuana from someone smoking outside. (2) The information in the room indicated that we could call for assistance between 6 am and 9 pm. However, when I called several times at 7 am to report that there was no milk for cereal, all I got was an answering machine that said that the office opened at 8 am. So, no milk for cereal. The next time we come down for the train, we will stay in Alamosa.
Rooms have some character with some unique decorations. Staff on check-in very friendly and brought my suitcase up the stairs.
They need to work on amenities. Had a single small bar of soap (size ok, as know there's lots of waste with short stays) but had to transport from sink to/from shower.
The shampoo need work. Just left one packet for a two-night stay that had no maid service (I'm OK with no maid service, again as there's lots of waste). But just one pack of shampoo and in a package that can't be opened without using a sharp object. People coming here ride the train and expect might get dirty.
So let's leave enough supplies for the whole trip - and change the shampoo packaging.
Now I did call down and they did promptly bring additional supplies. I just think I shouldn't have had to ask.
They also need more attention to the breakfast offerings. The first morning I had the last Pop Tar (and threw out 2 empty boxes). Nothing brought for the next day. And on the second day, OJ was down to a measly 6 oz left. Need more attention in keeping the breakfast supplies stocked.

Very depressed area. The hotel has not been updated.
All of the furnishings are old including the beds and the bedspreads and pillows. Did not feel safe.
Provided breakfast was poptarts and coffee. The owner states he has repeat visitors. Some people might like the very different atmosphere. You also have to climb steep stairs to get to the room which was hard on my husband with knee problems. The owner is very accommodating and tries hard. Appears he has done the best he can with what is available. The restaurant across the street also has not been updated in a very long time.
The entire experience was like stepping back in time to an old Clint Eastwood western.
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 hotel was great as it was close to the railway. It was quirky and welcoming.
