Not sure what was going on three years ago, but this place was a sweet haven in a busy little town. Walking distance to town is minimal. My guess is that those who balk at the three blocks should stay right on the plaza at La Fonda and pay for the privilege.
The room was enormous and we especially appreciated the cross breeze. Screen doors on the ...

Stayed in June, 2006. Loud, rumbling cars in/out of the parking lot until well after 2am. The room was so hot I slept on the floor by the screen door. AC did not work. No fans available (guess my room was not the only one too hot). Clerk suggested that if I didn't like it, I shouldn't stay there again. Not a consideration!

I bring university students here every other year and the place is great. Reasonable rooms, great location--easy walking distance to the Plaza.
I stay here every chance I get. Get a room with a fireplace and soak up the enchantment of New Mexico.

Although the facility is older, we find the rooms very comfortable. We have stayed in the units with kitchens and fireplaces as well as in the regular rooms. In both cases, we had everything we would expect to find in a well-appointed guest facility. It isn't fancy, but our needs are met.

This place is nothing special, but it's a good location at a great price. Walking is a bit much if you are out of shape, but otherwise, it's a quick stroll (3 blocks or so) to shops and restaurants. The rooms are very large, which is good if you are in Taos for outdoor recreation and have a lot of gear with you. This is like renting a tiny cabin...expect bugs in the room and a definite "rustic" stay.

The rooms are large and comfortable. The pool and hot tubs are usually in great condition. We enjoy the light breakfast which is free. For the money, you can't find a better bargain. This is where we go to relax and enjoy the New Mexico beauty every year (for at least 10 years now).

We stayed here one night on are travels and was very pleased with our clean room. Nice breakfast was served. Overall a nice place to stay to drive to toas pueblo or to the square.
