Recently renovated property. Nice, safe, modern and clean. Our only challenge was communication with the property. One of our door codes did not work; we texted the property, and they did not respond. We also texted the property two other messages with questions, and they did not respond. We stopped by the front desk twice, during posted open hours, and it was locked/closed (9 am and 4 pm). So great property but very challenging to communicate with.

Newly Renovated Motel in Taos

Newly renovated older motel on the main highway into Taos, New Mexico. Excellent renovation. Spacious shower in beautifully tiled bathroom. One possible issue for some guests: very soft beds which might not suit persons with back problems. Best price in town on the date I stayed.

Pros: Convenient location, modern updated decor, comfy beds Cons: fresh sheets? Questionable...toilet had pubic hairs in it..a lot. Dirty soggy gross paper towel in shower. Shower floors a bit slimy. We wore our flipflops in it. If you just need a crash pad worked out fine.

Cute and comfortable

We arrived later in the evening, so was happy to have keyless entry. The room was comfortable and quiet. Just what we needed after a long day of traveling.

Overall, the stay was fine, and what we needed, a place for the night. The rooms were very clean and uncluttered. No body wash and very little toilet paper, and only enough coffee for one cup each. We hoped for two. Being Xmas, the office had shorter hours, so we were unable to get more of the amenities. Walls and floors are thin (upstairs neighbors were loud late into the night) but the bed was comfy. Again, basic room for decent price. Could use some attention to detail in the amenities. Would stay again, all things considered.

Our room when we arrived was not cleaned from previous guest. Mistakes happen and they fixed it immediately by changing our room and even upgraded us to a suite. Fantastic service! Unfortunately the new room had bugs, NOT bed bugs but just general bugs. Some beetles, lots of beetles. We killed them and it was fine but they could use an exterminator. Everything else was fine, cute newly redone rooms, and good service.

The two room suite was spacious and comfortable, as described. However, the location is a bit less desirable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, we did find roaches in the room even though the rooms were clean.

Cute and modern, the Taos Motor Lodge has been carefully restored and is very welcoming. However, it is located on the far south side of town, making it a bit of a journey into the heart of Taos. Most rooms gave the highway, so light and noise also creep in, but over all, a good value for Taos.

Sparkling clean, comfortable bed. On the highway at the end of town. Put the climate control on “constant fan” for white noise. Bring an eye shade of light bothers you. Travel with a power strip. Our room had only one outlet on one side of the bed. Had to charge phones and watches across the room. Friendly staff, modern decor. Keurig, micro fridge and microwave in the spacious room.

I appreciated a door separating the two beds to offer a degree of privacy and quiet for a good night's sleep. The second bed is in the kitchen near the bathroom. The exit sign was very bright and needed to be covered to get any sleep. The service handling financial transactions and check-in was frustrating.
