We had a wonderful stay. Cute place all newly renovated. Had a bar and small restaurant with a petit menu but food was delicious. We stayed 2 nights to ride the train. Depot was directly across the street. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. Had awesome rainfall shower.

A pleasant bit of history with modern conveniences

Historic building nicely restored. Includes a small bar and dining area. Food menu still being developed, mainly sandwiches at the moment but nicely done. Staff is friendly and attentive. The room was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful renovation, but a few issues

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was small but pretty. They’ve done a lovely job restoring this hotel. On the down side, our first night there, there were some inebriated guests making noise in the upstairs common room until almost 1 a.m. There’s no management on the property at that point so no one was handling the situation. The doors, which are gorgeous, don’t seal the door, they’ve been cut down at some point, so noise is loud and makes it seem like everything is right outside your door. It also lets the light in the hallway bleed into your room, making it feel like there’s a nightlight on. Bring a sleep mask if that’s an issue for you. My other complaint is coffee in the morning. You have to go to the lobby for it but it’s not brewed until after 8 or so and there were no pods for the single cup coffee maker.

The property was recently renovated. It is verybcomfortablen and clean while maintaining a lot of its rustic charm. Floors are squeaky, but freshly finished and clean. The bathroom had modern finishes. The syaff was wonderful, friendly and helpful. Its nice that they have a restruant on site and the food was very good except the menu was a bit limited and service was a bit slow. Overall a wonderful experience in Chama and couldnt be more convenient to the railroad. Highly recommend this for single travelers if couples.

The room was small but had been renovated and was nice. Problem was , we were older folks and dragging luggage up stairs was a chore. The website stated they served breakfast which we were counting on, but there wasn’t any. Chama being a small town, we found no restaurant for breakfast and had to drive to another town for that. The front desk and server for snacks was polite.
