Friendly, Comfortable New Mexico Charm
By Rachel, 04/06/09
I've stayed at the Abiquiu Inn twice now and always hope to go back. Once I stayed in one of their Plaza Blanca King Rooms and the second time I splurged on a Chama River Casita. The hotel tends to group rooms in separate clusters unattached to other types of rooms which are part of the Abiquiu Inn grounds. This also helps to lend to the feeling of intimacy.
Both of these rooms are charming, immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. The Plaza Blanca room has a lovely gas kiva fireplace and pillowtop mattress. They always include Thymes bath ammenities (which I love). The Chama suite has a separate enclosed, private back patio, separate kitchenette and also a pillowtop and standard fireplace. The rooms are quiet, extremely comfortable and I find are perfect for someone wanting time to relax.
The hotel service has always been extremely friendly and helpful - I even received a lovely card in my hotel room when I was a repeat visitor - and they boast a lovely gift shop. The restaurant has good food at OK prices but the service there has always been mediocre (I often eat at the restaurant now that I'm not living too far from there). They do not serve alcohol but if one is wanting a nice after-dinner drink, there is a small store nearby.
I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting some time for relaxation and reflection or for anyone wanting a quiet, romantic getaway. I would love to stay there again.
