Funky lodge in Taos

I usually stay at the Kachina Lodge when visiting Taos. The rooms we had this time were more spacious, so that was an added bonus. Overall a nice, quiet place. I only wish that it offered breakfast.

Basically fine, you get what you pay for. There were no problems it’s just kind of old and needs updating. We didn’t spend much time in our room so it was fine. Marginally clean. Just a place to sleep.

They was exactly as expected based on previous reviews. The room and bathroom were very good size. We had no significant issues other than the TV remote. The heaters were enough to keep the room warm. We had all the the amenities expected. The room was clean.

Space Heaters...Bring Blankets.

Check in went well. Then was told i had space heaters and if i moved either one of them the power would go out in the room. The room was pretty big so the heaters helped very little. The temperature outside was -14 that night. Good thing i was by myself...was not a comfortable time. Was just glad i wasnt outside. In the morning was cold...but the water was hot!! Was like camping inside. Was a drag...just glad the power didnt go out on me again.

There was an unprecedented amount of noise from the upstairs rooms. This was not a fault of the upstairs tenants, but of the structural integrity (or lack thereof) of the building. This facility should be condemned

SLEEPLESS

The renovations are looking nice. The room was clean and comfortable. I'm not sure if the room next door was a smoking room or just the porch but there was an unpleasant but mild cigarette odor in the room. I got past that. The only real problem was that the people next door made a lot of noise all night! I gave them untill 11pm to wind down even though I wanted to sleep but they only seemed to pick up momentum. I don't know what they were on but the yelling, laughing and volume of their voices didn't subside despite a call to management. They only responded by turning down the terrible music they had been blasting but that hadn't even been loud enough to drown the voices out. I got up and banged on the wall (not a thin wall) several times throughout the night with little response. I messaged management a few times but these f***ers continued until about 6am. I finally dozed off only to be awakened less than an hour later by music blaring from the other side. then the all nighters were back up. UGH! no sleep!! I should get a refund or at least a credit since I didn't even sleep there! I used to make this my go to with my family for ski trips but I was really glad I didn't bring them along this time. The front desk seemed indifferent to my complaints and I'm not sure if I will go back

Dont use the microwave!!

Check in was good. The clerk knew my name when i walked in. Was in and out in 5 minutes. Room was clean and warm. Brought my stuff into the room and left for some business i had to attend to. Came back to the room around 10pm. There was no power. I called the emergency number and they had the power back on in 20 minutes, but was told not to use the microwave because it would kill the power again. So no warming up food or drinks in the micro. Was a Apollo 13 expierence...dont open the fridge unless you turn the light off in the right order. Haha!! So was kind of paranoid that the heat would shut off in the middle of the night.

Great for families with adjoining rooms

A classic New Mexican motel in Taos. Big rooms, clean, and comfortable. Close to Taos Pueblo, Taos Ski Valley, Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, and more. Friendly staff, but short handed and no breakfast due to COVID. We asked and received adjoining rooms for our stay.

Served our ski purpose

We stayed here for a night to ski at the Taos . The front desk service was great . Room was big and they have amenities but just wasn't open . This served our ski purpose . The value was good . The heater was not working and the main heating source was two space heaters . We didnt feel cold at night . The pet is additional 20 just to share with anyone . Room has fridge and microwave

Towels like sandpaper

Comfotable enough, the space heaters helped to warm things up. The towels were like sandpaper, though. I don't expect a brand new towel in a hotel, but I run a short-term rental and we generally upgrade our towels every year. This one felt like it was a decade old.

Our stay was a little bumpy initially when they told us up front at check-in: the room heating system hasn't been working, give it about 2 hours to warm the room." On a 7 degree night, it was not what we wanted to hear. Eventually they did offer us additional room heater and blankets but I think the communication could have been better.
