Nice, comfy hotel with lots of history
What a cute, old hotel, right across from the Cumbres and Toltec train depot. We stayed here after the train stopped running for the season, but that was neat to see it across the street anyway. The service at our hotel was excellent and we were able to communicate very well via text messaging. The staff were so helpful. Our room was great. It was comfortable and super clean. They even had some bottled waters for us in the room when we got there. We only got to stay here 1 night as we were just passing through town, but we look forward to staying here again in the future so we can explore the neat shops nearby and ride the train. The hotel was built in the 1930s and it was so neat to read about the history of it on the hotel's website and seeing the original furniture in it. We loved it the historical aspect of this place. And the wildlife and train photos hanging up around the hotel in the lobby and hallways were so neat to see as well. Thank you for a nice place to stay. We enjoyed it and look forward to coming back when we can stay a bit longer. :)

Had high hopes as the hotel is right across from the train station. It was a dump. Room was dirty and smelly and needed a lot of attention to detail. Heat wasn't turned on but I'm glad I'm old school and could troubleshoot it and get it going. No TV service, they didn't pay there direct TV bill. Front desk said there was a Smart TV in the room...it wasn't and the Internet didn't work anyway. Bed made me feel like I was sleeping on a medieval torture machine and getting around the next day was painful.

The hotel is directly across the street from the scenic railway, so is very conveniently located. There was only one open restaurant nearby, Foster’s Bar, at which I enjoyed a good dinner. Unfortunately, the second morning there was a large water leak in my room apparently coming from an upstairs room bathroom, and it appeared that the ceiling had previously been repaired. There were no staff on-site at the time, but I was able to reach the manager in the phone. Hopefully the hotel can afford the necessary repairs, as the room was fine other than the leak, and the bed was comfortable.
