The idea of this hotel is that the rooms and services are as close as possible to how things would have been when the place was first built in the 1800s. It's a great idea and works really well!

We had room 1 with two beds and a private bath. It's an extremely beautiful room with antique furnishings and hand painted wallpaper, and we love it here. The private bath would be much better for a couple than for friends as the privacy screen is very decorative but in no way functional and we ended up using the shared showers anyway. But it's very unique and charming anyway.

The restaurant is good, the beer selection is great, and we liked sitting out on the deck enjoying the view.

The best thing about staying here is the jeep tour. Great fun and a fantastic, knowledgable guide!

Would definitely come back if I was ever in the area again.

We love this quaint display of the 1800's. Most of the hotel remains as it was back then. Old west photos and stories abound. The creaky floors and antique furniture in every room , every corner, echo back to a time long gone. Its for the sentimentalist. The historian. The unpretentious, the culturalist. Greg is an amazing host/owner. The stories he recounts are fabulous ad documented! You may pay extra for the few rooms that house a private bath, or ruff it and share a community style bath, ball and claw tub antique settee, and all. Thats actually what we love about it! No TV in your room, old light fixtures and furniture. The bar is original down to the ladies face painted on the floor and the art on the walls. Beautiful wood burning stoves adorned in silver, specialty shots served up creatively by Bryce, mediterranian cooking by the wife, Rosemarie, as well as her excellent hand made pizza's, and yet she is famous for her trout dish! Great people run this piece of history. Don't miss out.....We've been back 3 times in 20 years and plan to go again and again! The price is right too! The best jeep tours of the San Juan mountains have been offered here for decades and featured by national geographic. You really get more than what you pay for. Awesome place! Tell them Katie and Duane , the anniversary couple from Clovis, sent you!

Ok well I am easy to please, and was just looking for a clean safe place to stay and cheap. Well it is cheap, but man it is way more 'rustic' than I thought it would be. The room was super small and very old, which is ok, and the usual paint coming off the walls and the lone light bulb hanging from a string from the ceiling was a nice touch, but the one window barely opened and you had to prop it up with some old plywood from the scraps just outside the window, it has no screen, and obviously no a/c or air movement whatsoever so it was really hot and gross. The window at night looked directly into another room about 6 feet away, so there was zero privacy and I had to use a blanket and rig it up along the window.......you get the idea. You will survive here, but it is a bit dicey.........I would camp the next time........

There is loads of history and character here, and a nice change from "cookie cutter" motels. We stayed in an old style room with high ceiling and lace curtains, with a shared bathroom down the hall. A little worn and not to everyone's taste, but very cheap to stay and it met all of our needs.
