This was my first time in Chama, so I didn’t know what to expect. The biggest complaint is the lack of places to eat that were close by or the places that were close by that were just closed.

The location was easy to negotiate, parking extra easy, friendly clerk at check-in, but it is not a newer property and there was a lack of outlets. The tub and toilet room was crowded and needed an extra towel rack or two. Very clean, just not new. Beds were comfortable.

Staff extremely warm and friendly. Gorgeous views, close to Cumbres and Toltec train, quiet and peaceful. Room was clean, however facial tissue was almost out, and bathroom tissue was of very inferior quality. We would stay there again when in the area.

Sadly this was not what we had expected. Squeaky uncomfortable bed, tiniest shower and bathroom I have ever seen. AC only in the living room not the bedroom. Mouse droppings in the bedroom and very loud guests around us all night. Would have probably been better off in a tent.

Great little place at a great price

This was a well-priced hotel in the location I was seeking to ride the nearby scenic railroad. The lady at the front desk was ready for my arrival and helped with a tip for a nearby restaurant! The room was clean and had all the amenities to make our stay easy.
