    Housekeeping. Beds made and fresh towels, but no cleaning. Pool lounges not comfortable. Coffee maker did not make hot beverages. No tea provided.

    Loved the jacuzzi. Excellent service from bell men. Great dinner. Beautiful grounds.

    The pool area needs maintaining…. There was mold and rust all around the pool and the gardens have been under construction since I was there in February.

    The staff is wonderful. The food is very good. I enjoy the grounds around the hotel and convenience to Taos Plaza.

    Not my issue but if one cares, small TV screens. Otherwise no worries...Recommended.

    Large two bedroom-two baths is as good as it gets for value in Taos. Excellent bar and dinner dining in a relaxing setting. Beautiful grounds, hot tub and fitness facility. A bit of a walk into town, ~ 10 minutes. Helpful, friendly staff.

    Rooms need a deap clean, found a lot of dust everywhere specialty under the beds.Heater was not working.Back patio needed cleaning, patio furniture is old and filty. Sidewalks are worn out. Parking is not organized well. The entire resort needs renovation. I guess my expectations were very high.

    Like the photos on the website.

    They must have satellite tv and it went out one of the nights because of weather. They comped us a breakfast.

    Elegant furnishings in rooms- comfy beds, in town and close to everything. Beautiful grounds! Unique, beautiful hotel with southwestern furnishings. we went with our two teens (15,17) on ski trip. They had their own separate room and they loved the place as well!!!

    a bar in the toilet area would have helped when getting up from toilet...I was in a walking boot and it was difficult standing without some support I realize this is not always the case with people, but with bad knees etc. I can see a problem with getting up from toilet... since they are lower than most toilets now days.

    lovely grounds, rooms very nice, breakfast was very good.... quiet in the room we did not eat dinner there, the bar was a pleasant area

    Comfortable resort conveniently located in Taos
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Standard Queen Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Room was a litte worn (tiles scuffed, walls dirty, light fixtures dusty, etc) and the bathroom sink splashed water everywhere when used. We did not get any robes provided in our room which made it tricky to get to the pool comfortably. Parking lot is terribly configured but there seemed to be enough parking for guests. Overall, it was a little pricey for what it is (over $700 for three nights) but pretty comfortable.

    Comfy beds and pillows and the fireplace in the room was really nice. Food was pretty good, especially the cornbread, but no room service, we had to go pick up any orders ourselves. Housekeeping staff was quick and did a great job daily. Hot tub was nice but too small (there were probably 10-12 people trying to use it). Free yoga class was really good! Location is convenient and close to downtown. In general, the facilities are nice and the staff were friendly.

    1. Housekeeping did not appear following the first night and when I called at 3:30 pm I was told they were still working. Housekeeping did not come and we found a supervisor at 4:10 pm to request that trash be removed. This was a poor response by management and failure to follow up. 2. We were on the ground floor and the only curtains offered for privacy were blackout. A walkway was next to the glass door so the curtain had to be pulled for privacy, leaving the room too dark.

    The setting was lovely - beautiful gardens, pool and public spaces for guests. It was close enough to the center of town to walk.

    Rooms are dark - western Gothic. The mountain room we were initially given was in obvious disrepair. Torn curtains (holes) that don’t close, missing picture over the fireplace - hook and shadow of the picture still evident. Clearly sends a message that there is an element of leadership and caring that is missing from management. Spent the initial two hours of our stay moving around rooms till we were finally installed in a lovely room. The place was far from full so these shenanigans were wholly unnecessary and diminished our stay

    Beautiful grounds around the main area, pond, tree-lined. Very peaceful and serene. Yoga with Alana was awesome. She is the kindest, sweetest person! The valet team were all amazing and helpful!

    Saw allot of spiders, not kept up in the patios. Didn’t like that I mentioned to the front desk to remove a crib out of the room and they completely forgot. The room was a little dark needed extra lighting. Did find a spider in the restroom.
