    This place is a hidden gem…read more We got caught in a snow storm on the way to Denver from San Diego. We'd spent the night in Albuquerque, and this was the last leg of the journey to Denver. But then we got into almost zero visibility on the i25 North, and even my Denver friend who was driving the Uhaul said it was too much. Since I was driving a tiny VW Golf and from sunny San Diego, I was all for stopping for an unscheduled night. But I had my dog with me! We got off the freeway (barely), turned around, and headed 15 miles south to where there were a couple of motels. I had called a different one originally, and I don't want to waste time discussing that one other than to say it may have been the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." We had driven past The Broken Arrow Motel on the way to see that Norman Bates fiasco, so I said let's just go back there. I ran inside and the nice man said yes, they accepted dogs in certain rooms, and he had two rooms available--one of which I could have my dog in. Hurray! The rooms all face the parking lot, like the old school motel ("motor hotel" is where the word comes from I believe). The rooms were clean and fresh. These are not luxurious digs, but no one should be expecting luxury in Springer, NM. The whole place is rustic; these are modest accommodations, but someone has taken GREAT CARE with the little touches: Folgers coffee, coffee maker, and creams/sugars in each room. A fridge. Little toiletries with the washcloth folded into the design of a fan next to the sink. A radiator that was great for hanging your socks on so that your feet were toasty, but also a wall heater that kept the room cozy and warm. There was a nice big heavy mug to have coffee in, plus extra paper cups and plastic cups. My friend had a bottle of Scotch and the proprietor gave him a bag of ice; we made Irish coffee and watched the snow storm. It was my black Lab's first snow and he loved it! The whole town seems lacking in cell service, and until I figured out the motel had wifi, I was standing in the street with my new iPhone software showing me where to point my phone to catch the satellite to send messages alerting of our delay (literally a video of a satellite in the sky with a beam coming down, a dot representing me, and arrows showing me which way to turn to catch the satellite signal! Who knew?) Then I realized there were directions on how to connect to wifi in the room. Duh. The wifi was a bit spotty, but honestly it added to the rustic feeling and it was all just a big adventure. It's relaxing to be a bit disconnected. It was great having the car right in front of the room, because on these long trips you're forever forgetting something in the car, and you can just run out in your PJs instead of having to walk down halls and down elevators. The restaurant across the street had delicious food. Gas station two doors down with snacks and gas for the continuation of your trip. If you are on a long trip and planning stops, or even decide you need to stop for the night for whatever reason, please visit this quaint motel. By the way when I first called there was no answer; I think, again, there is a cell service issue in the town. Don't let that stop you! Just show up. I so badly wish we'd stayed there instead of the Marriott in Albuquerque!

    We needed to be at Philmont Scout Ranch and chose to stay here based on the reviews…read more We were very happy with that decision. Super friendly owners make you feel like family. The room is wonderfully clean, the water is hot, and the bed is comfortable. There is also coffee and fridge in the room. I will not hesitate to stay here again.

    The St. James Hotel is one of those rare places where history, mystery, atmosphere, and memory all…read moreseem to occupy the same room. During our stay, the hotel was nearly empty, which made the long second-floor hallway, old doors, creaking floors, and deep silence feel especially dramatic. At one point, I caught the unmistakable scent of rose perfume in the hallway. It appeared for only a second and then vanished completely. The hotel has long been associated with stories of unexplained rose fragrance, and experiencing it firsthand was unforgettable. Later that evening, four frightened college students asked us to investigate noises and a shadow they believed they had seen in their room. We found nothing supernatural, but they were frightened enough to leave the hotel in the middle of the night. Our own qualifications as paranormal investigators were somewhat compromised by martinis. I also searched unsuccessfully for a rumored trap door beneath the carpet and managed a brief look into the hotel's supposedly forbidden room. No ghosts appeared, but I did emerge from the carpet covered in decades of dust. The entire experience was funny, eerie, memorable, and completely unique to the St. James, and I have returned several times. What stays with me most is the feeling of the place. Some hotels provide lodging. The St. James gives you a story.

    We have stayed at the St James numerous times, and always had a nice time, there restaurant made…read moresteak and enchiladas, like my mom used to make. I was looking forward to a good meal and a good night's rest. I did not get either of them? We were notified 16 hours before our stay the hotel was having a concert? We had planned this trip for 6 weeks. I have been to 20 plus concerts; this information did not really concern me at all. Concerts last maybe 2-3 hours tops, and end at the latest at 10 pm, and after all this is a historic hotel? We heard the music 100 yards away at 3 pm on our way there, we thought so it started already, and would probably be done by 6 pm. We were very wrong, apparently there were numerous bands one right after the other until 11:45 pm? They were very loud and played for 8.5 hours in the middle of the hotel, in their courtyard nonstop. We are reasonable people, but this was a hotel! If the music would have stopped within a reasonable time frame, even 10 pm, this review would not have posted. Not only that but the restaurant served chicken tenders, tacos, nachos, and hot wings, nothing else? This event was poorly planned, poorly executed, with poorly communicated, with a serious lack of professionalism, and just plain all about the money they could make selling liquor, with no consideration for their patrons. If we were told there would be no real food to eat, and the concert would last until midnight, I would have nothing to complain about. I think we got maybe 5 hours of sleep that night as a group. Shame of the owners and Management of this hotel, hopefully they will start putting their faithful patrons above the chance to make some extra money at their expense.
