Rio Chiquito Vacations from $560

Really enjoyed our stay - it was a last minute getaway! Things I loved: Front desk staff was very nice. Historic lore. Elevator was ample sized. Bookshelves with books everywhere - halls, room - to borrow during stay. Room was nice size. Air conditioning was amazing. Beautiful new pedestal sink, well lit mirror and new high toilet. Nice towels, not scratchy and for the first time ever - actual toilet paper, not 1 ply institution tissue paper! Things I did not love: Front desk person make us wait til exactly 3pm to check in, no information on the history of the hotel or ghost info available, nothing in the gift shop was related to the hotel - just mass produced "mexican" art and mirrors. The room, I think did not have the benefit of the full remodel: Carpet was worn and lumpy and tub/shower was separating from enclosure showing rust and mold. The mattresses were older, lumpy. Each bed offered 3 each square pillows (like throw pillow size) cute but not effective for sleeping. The wrapper of the boxsprings or platforms were dirty and stained. Baseboards were dirty. Paint in various places on walls was chipped. Dust behind furnishings and behind tv on the mountings and even the walls. Yes, handprints on walls lead us to investigate and they were in dust! Poor lighting in room for reading those books. And just for us - not a hint of a ghost in sight.

Convenient location, great breakfast and great staff!

Great hotel room, very clean and quiet!

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed, and the price is so reasonable. I actually kind of hate to give away this secret delight in Espanola, NM. It only takes about 40 minutes to get to downtown Santa Fe.

A very old building with a ton of character, very nicely kept. I will be back
