New Mexico Hotels

The staff at this particular hotel were extremely open and went above and beyond to make our stay excellent. I have never before been offered a crib for my babies and, at the Nativo Lodge, this was one of their first considerations. I was not expecting such a friendly and welcoming staff. What a pleasant difference!!!

Quite Clean, Breakfast was good, Easy Check-in, Pool Was nice and clean, AC was nice and cold

Loved everything!! The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Rooms were beautiful and comfortable.

We spent 3 days and enjoyed every day. The staff found out we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and delivered champagne and chocolate covered strawberries that evening. The room was a bit small due to a large column near the center, but the room was very clean and comfortable. Décor was very pleasing. Each evening when we'd return, the bed was turned down and a classical music station was quietly playing. Very pleasant and attention to details

Awesome hotel for the value. Walking distance to the plaza and a free shuttle instead if that's more your speed. Free breakfast was pretty no-frills but had enough to fill us up. Cereal, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, waffles, yogurt, juice, coffee, and some muffins/toast/bagels. Room was small but extremely clean and tidy. Water was hot, room was quiet, pool was big enough for swimming with the kiddo. Close to the Railyard park (right across the street). Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Shampoos and soaps in the room were organic. We picked this hotel and booked through Expedia, where we paid about $86/night. When we checked out, we saw that they'd given us a discount on our room, down to $66/night. Given that price, this place is 5 stars all the way! If we head back to SF for a visit, we will absolutely use this hotel again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at Las Palomas. It's in a great location, so we were able to walk to many sites, restaurants, and shopping venues. The property itself was amazing - we stayed in the #64 (the Verdi room!) It was done up in real New Mexico style! Each morning the breakfast totally lived up to the great hype that everyone else has given it, and we were extremely happy with that aspect of our stay. Each evening when the temperature cooled a bit we were able to sit outside our room on the veranda and enjoy a drink before walking to a nice dinner close by. I should add that we did have maid service each day - I think some other reviewers noted that this was missing during their stay, but apparently it's back. We only had two *very* minor quibbles with our room - neither even serious enough for us to ask to be moved. First, the room had a distinctive smokey odor, probably due to a prior inhabitant starting an overly-large blaze in the kiva fireplace. A good ozone treatment would help. Second, the air conditioner did not work very well. I understand that normally this wouldn't be an issue in Santa Fe, but our visit happened at a time when the temperatures neared 90 each day. There were bad forest fires on both sides of the city, so we didn't want to leave the windows open while sleeping due to air quality and safety. We simply bought a little fan at the local Target store, and that plus the ceiling fan kept us cool enough.

My parents often took our family on trips to Taos in the 70s, and we almost always stayed at the Kachina Lodge. I had great memories of the place, so decided to take a trip down memory lane and booked rooms here for my family. The beds were wonderful, lots of very nice pillows and nice sheets, the pool was terrific- perfect temperature, the breakfast was very good, and it was a perfect place to take the kids. The landscaping and grounds are very pretty with mature spruce trees and green grass. The kids enjoyed seeing all the kachinas and art in the lobby- which was a nice way to introduce them to Taos culture. It rained both evenings we were there so we did not get to see the Indian dances, but we had a great time anyway. The hotel looks much as it did "back in the day" but they have done a nice job of keeping it up to date and in great shape.

It was an in and out with wife and kids. Simple execution.
