The room was clean and adequate for a night. The bed in room #6 was very comfortable and the Wi-Fi was excellent. All the rooms are on the second floor. I arrived at 7 pm, after the front desk had closed but with a phone call, the owner was there very quickly. Check-in was a breeze. Parking is adjacent to the building. There’s a common room with a pool table and this is where the self serve breakfast is also. You help yourself to items in the fridge and freezer and there’s assorted cereals, teas, coffee, hot chocolate. There’s a second story deck for outside seating. The main things that were lacking was more than one hanger and a chair in the room so I didn’t have to sit on the bed.

We slept well in a King room. The room was small but adequate and seemed clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom was clean, the towels small and approaching threadbare, no bathmat. Shower had giant shower head probably designed to be a overhead shower head that was very difficult to not flood the bathroom with and difficult to aim anywhere while adjusting the temperature so the water wasn't hitting you.
Small window unit A/C was sufficient, TV with Dish network was ok. Breakfast was mainly coffee and small boxes of cereal and pop tarts supplemented with a few things from the bakery isle from the grocery store a few doors down.
Lots of interesting art and knick knacks in the single hall. Check in was by calling a phone number and the staff showed up in a few minutes let us into the lobby/ground floor gift shop.
The building is located on Antonito's main street there was some loud traffic which tailed off after midnight.

Place is old and needs a facelift. Room was very tired but pretty clean and didn't smell bad! Had a small fridge that wasn't very cold, a microwave and a pod type coffee pot. No coffee, cups, or glasses. Room air conditioner in one room but the other one was pretty warm and stuffy. The shower worked well but the tub (which was a "massage tub") was old and worn. Bed was OK. The fellow that checked us in was really nice. Had to call him to check in even in the afternoon but he responded quickly. He was very helpful and accommodating. The town is very small with not much to do. Bring a good book!! A one night stay was just barely OK. I was glad it wasn't more!! PS. Pot store in the parking lot if you are so inclined !!!!!

The bedding was so well used that it was not possible to tell if it had been washed or not. Buy we had to brush white particles from the bottom sheet so we could lay down. The air conditioner was totally inadequate to cool the room, at 4AM after running since 4;30 PM the day before, the room was still 80 degrees, very little sleep. They call it a unique hotel but all we saw was swap meet junk. For the price, $149 per night we expected a better experience not the struggle it was. Dead bolt did not engage, kitchen utensils-dishes-glasses needed washing, stove was filthy, shower was a wand that was just hanging from the wall. the one chair was a straight back wooden relic that was not comfortable at all, the very small TV was at the ceiling, the overall odor was quite stale and strongly hinted of an unkempt room. We were there for a 2 night stay but informed them we were not staying the second night, and they said if they could not rerent the room there were no refunds. We left and went 30 minutes up the road to Alamosa and found a very good room for $88, which we would recommend anyone else to do if you were to ride the Cumbers-Toltec Railroad.

This hotel is perfect location to ride steam train. Manager Paul was very kind and pleasant. However, our room was not fully cleaned. My husband actually put the new pillow cases on while Paul ran to get more soap and towels. These rooms are charming and we appreciate that. However, they need deep cleaning to remove caked dust. I definitely didn’t want to touch anything I didn’t have to. There is a common room which has a pool table which we enjoyed. Breakfast wasn’t replenished on our second morning. This place has so much potential, but it needs sharp management to bring it up to par.

My husband and I stayed there and we must have got one of the rooms that hasn't been renovated yet.
The sheets on the bed as you walk in we're itchy, the couch had no support for your back so you sat Hunchback in it. There was also dirt between the buttons of the remote control.
The bathtub was scary as it had about an inch of caulking around it that was unprofessionally done, the inside of the bathtub had patching in it, it looked dingy, there was either dirt or mold in the gaps where the caulking didn't touch the tub, the exhaust fan was so clogged it didn't even do any good, and the outlets didn't work. There was a bidet function for the toilet though... lol.
The shades in the bedroom didn't lower and we couldn't figure out how to raise the shades in the living room / bedroom.
The painting didn't seem to be done professionally as you could tell where the roller touched the ceiling while the walls were being done and the roof must have leaked at one time as there was a huge patch in the ceiling and the water stain was still showing. A lot of patching needs to be done to make the paint look good.
The foot board was installed wrong as it leaned into the bed, the end table next to the couch sloped downward, and the Shelf that the cable box set on was installed crooked.
There was only one tiny bar of soap for our two day stay and only one roll of toilet paper. They never checked to see if we needed anything.
Can't believe they charge $110 a night for the "suite" we had. It was only worth about 50 or $60 a night.

My plans changed at the last minute (this is during Covid Times). This hotel charges you the full amount for your entire stay if you cancel within 7 days. This is part of the "terms" when you book directly with the hotel. If you book with Expedia or a 3rd Party you can cancel up to 24 hours before check-in and you are only charged one night if you cancel within 24 hours. I wouldn't mind paying for one night for a last-minute cancellation, but the entire stay seems unnecessary, especially during Covid.

This little hotel has a rustic charm. The decor is rustic and unique. It holds the nuance of long ago. It is not fancy by any means but it is clean and very comfortable. The hosts/Owners Paul and Teagan are very accommodating. There is one room downstairs which was great for a familymemberwho couldn'tmanage the stairs. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

The place was terribly unclean and unkept, dead and dying plant in our room. Strange smell in the bedroom, I would not advise staying here, the bed linens didn't appear to be washed or maintained. You might be better off sleeping in your car and saving the money, or go to alamosa or somewhere else.

Our room was very small, so small that there wasn.t room for a chair. The bed was a mattress on a wood frame, no box spring. The bath towel were like dish towels, very small and thin. The front desk was not manned. We had to telephone to get someone to let us into check in. We saw others waiting on the sidewalk like I had to waiting to get in. By the way I was waiting almost fifteen minutes and three phone calls. This is a tired and old hotel that could be run much better. In the morning the coffee was excellent. I wouldn't stay here again. don't let the pictures fool you.
