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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service

When we booked the property, the check in time listed was 3pm on the Travelocity website, which is why I booked here because we had a wedding to attend at 4. No rooms we clean but we were given a key. We asked if we could just get ready somewhere and they were not helpful with that. I went up to see where our room was and to check if it was ready since we were given a key and a woman started screaming at me that we are not allowed in the rooms until 4. She preceded to yell at me across the property. So I went back to the office to cancel our stay. The front desk worker went to get the manager and turns out that’s who was yelling at me across the property. I could not believe how unprofessional the manager was. We left and did not stay here. I will be disputing the charges on my credit card.

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.
