Pros:

The location was great and the room was very clean. Staff was super nice.

Cons:

The long window in the room. Too much light came in, especially since we were on the 1st floor and a vehicle parked in front of of that window. Lights were on for about few minutes.

Pros:

Easily accessible, very comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. My boyfriend was using crutches, and they were great about honoring our request for a ground-level room, which made a big difference.

The room was much more spacious than a typical hotel room, with both front and back entrances—a nice bonus. The beds were very comfortable, there were plenty of towels, and the toiletries were good quality.

The kitchenette was well stocked with dishes, a mini fridge, and plenty of coffee, making it suitable for both a quick overnight stay or a longer visit. I also loved the self check-in with a code instead of a key card—super easy and convenient.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m really glad I chose this lodge during a last-minute change of plans. It started snowing in Taos, and this ended up being the perfect place to stay comfortably until the weather cleared. I’ll definitely recommend it, and it will be my first choice when visiting family in town.

Loved it. Great experience great price
Pros:

The rooms were very nice and boutiquey. The girls running the front desk were super nice and I felt very safe staying there.

Cons:

The only negative I experienced was the walls were a little thin and I could hear baby crying in room next to me. But I would still definitely stay there again.

If you're on a budget it might be worth it to you.
Pros:

The staff was friendly and refunded us in full since things weren't working (tv's) and to be quite honest, the place isn't very clean. Dead bugs and litter on the stairs etc.

Cons:

This place looks much better in the pics than in person. A review of 8? I find that hard to believe. Inexpensive for Taos but that comes with a price too. Thank god the staff refunded us. Nice people, not such a nice place.

It was to hard for us to get to our room.
Cons:

The room was to hard for us to enter since my wife uses a walker so stairs are very hard for us. When our confirmation was sent to me we were supposed to be on the ground floor in a handicap accessible room.
