Depressing, dreary, dingy old-style motel. On the plus side, it has new sink and toilet. Apparently, nothing better in the poor little town of Chama.

This is an older motel, but it is kept up well. We posted a sign to have maid service after the first night, but it was not done. As expensive as the rates are for this motel, you can find better choices in the area.

Property over all was nice and the staff was very nice as well. Beds were harder than I like. Not anywhere in the room to plug in a charger for phones without unplugging something else. Even had to unplug the clock to use the coffeemaker.

Checked in. No Vacancy sign but no patrons? TV was terrible--few channels and most were unviewable.. Advised clerk who stated it hoped to be fixed the next week. No microwave or fridge. Room was not made up for second day. Restaurant was closed. No discount for all this! We were the only patrons for two days.

The accommodations were adequate, but the room rate was way over priced. No, microwave or mini refrigerator and no staff on site at night for emergencies. There was an elderly couple that was accidentally locked out of their room and could not get a hold of anyone.

The property needs to be updated to accommodate senior citizens. The bathroom facilities are not up to 20th, let alone 21st century standars.

Older but not bad overall
The motel was serviceable. We didn't spend a lot of time there as we got in late and left early for the train. We drove in about 8:30pm so the front desk was closed for the night and our key was left in an envelope in a drop box. Overall, the housekeepers do an excellent job at keeping things clean and tidy but there were a few issues that were beyond them. There were some mold spots on the ceiling above the shower and our bathroom light wasn't working either so we had to use our phone flashlights to see. The motel feels like an old place and is a bit outdated, but I think, overall, it is in pretty decent condition and a quiet and peaceful spot. It has a convenient location where everything is just a couple minutes' drive. I wouldn't mind staying there again.

Although the room was large and the property is convenient to town, there was no refrigerator, no hair dryer, and most aggravating, the bottom "fitted" sheet on the bed would not stay on the mattress.

Comfortable.
Wonderful greeting and service. We were disappointed that room did not have a microwave and refrigerator, but the fault is ours for not checking when reserving. A great area for dog walking.

We had to leave early before sunrise so a porch light we could turn on would have been useful. We very much liked having no lights on after 10 pm though! Esp with the potential bear situation. But great stay.
