9.4/10 Exceptional! (984 reviews)
Stayed May 16-18 2024. We are longtime customers, having stayed multiple times over the last 20 years. However, this was our first stay since the pandemic. The property is still beautiful, and an unsuspected pleasure just off the highway in Española. The gardens are beautiful and flowers in bloom. However, the inn no longer offers the breakfast that made it such an exceptional value. The Casita style rooms are beautiful, but showing signs of wear and just missing a few maintenance details, such as caulking around the tubs and shower, a very squeaky bed frame and the kiva fireplaces are turned off. I realize there are probably good reasons for this, but the character of the place suffers a little. Management is still exceptionally friendly and they were accommodating when we had to make a last-minute change to our reservation. But I think this gem of the Espanola Valley needs a little TLC and to serve breakfast that made it feel like a real B&B experience and an opportunity to meet other guests.
