Narrow Gauge RR Inn, Antonito

we were there in 2009 looking for a decent room while we attended a funeral. The rooms were dirty, smelled terribly, and one room the attendant showed us had water on the bathroom floor (she said a minor leak, but didn't sound like they were going to repair it). The motel is in major need of renovation and better attitude by management. We gladly travelled to Alamosa and stayed at the Quality Inn.

Stayed here because it was clsoe to the New Mexico-Colorado border and we could use it as a base camp to hunt both states. - The rooms were nice and very reasonable. The people were very friendly and teh hunting and scenery was great. We will be back in the summer to ride the narrow gauge steam train that winds through the mountains and goes places we couldn't get to with our atv's.

When searching for lodging near the CTSR train depot, all we could initially find were recommendations to stay in Alamosa (which is about 40 miles away!). Luckily, we stumbled onto the Narrow Gauge RR Inn which is located right next door to the depot! It has been here all along - who knew? A nice, quiet little place. Can't beat it for convenience for train riders! We'll be back.

We were told that the only available accomodations for train riders (The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad) were in Chama, New Mexico. Fortunately, we found that a nice little motel was available *right next to* (as in "you can walk over") the train depot on the Antonito, Colorado side! Hotels in Chama are expensive and fill quickly. This was nice... a restaurant on site and quiet rooms with a view of the train coming in and going out. Great for train buffs! Friendly service too.
