But where? Reviewers touted the Inn Of The Turquoise Bear.....and they were right. Pros: - Location: Central. Just south of the downtown area and a 15 minute walk to Canyon Road. - Exterior: A sprawling property in a residential neighborhood. Several smaller buildings seem to have been added over the (many) years to the main building seen on most photos of the property. - Interior: Like going back 100 years. Things were fixed, of course...especially in public spaces...but you might feel as if you're in a living museum. - Our Room (Witter Byner): Large and rambling. More than enough room for 2 people plus a balcony overlooking the front of the property. Very comfortable. I could live there for a month if we didn't mind going up and down 15 stairs to the main floor. One interesting aspect: The bathroom. It was very nice and fully equipped, but separate from our room and down 5 stairs. That wasn't a problem during the day, but a few nights were an adventure - Breakfast: Unreal. Everything was homemade with great taste. The buffet portion had sliced fruit, granola, juices, pastries and yogurt. The hosts and kitchen staff had 3-5 entrees available each day. I rarely tried those since I filled up on the buffet, but my wife ate one every day and only had good things to say. Service at the community table was gracious and unhurried with lots of interesting conversation. - Amenities: A 1-2 hour Happy Hour every day starting at 430 or 5 PM. Fresh cookies, fruit, tea and jug water were available all day (coffee from 630-10 AM). Umbrellas. Plenty of smiles. - Hosts: Everyone was very friendly, helpful, informative and even charming. Special thanks to Aileen (sp?). - Housekeeping: Effective, efficient and unobtrusive. - Parking: Sufficient. The large courtyard in front of the of the property provided enough room for cars in the 11 room B&B. - Price and Value: Reasonable. It's not cheap, but as in most cases you get what you pay for. We'd heartily recommend the Inn Of The Turquoise Bear, but make reservations well in advance.

There are some permanent areas of the park for people who leave there RV full time in the park. Spaces are spacious and easy to back into. There is both 30 amp and 50 amp spaces available. There is a small store onsite. There is alow a clubhouse (closed due to COVID) , park, and dog pottie areas. They also collect trash from a few areas in the park each morning by 9A to keep it from the bears. We did see one small bear running through part of the campground while we were there. Overall this is a great park and I would visit again!

A little rough for me as I normally am still drinking my coffee at that time. I thought they had laundry, but it's a public laundry mat outside their gate. To far for this 70 year old to walk. I stayed 2 nights thinking I was going to get the passport America discount for both, but only got it for one night. In their description they say that they do not take credit cards, but they do. That's a positive. Great snowbird destination. Kinda a long drive just for a few nights.

The indoor and outdoor lounge areas are thoughtfully designed with local decor, which really adds to the ambiance. The front desk staff was friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. House came around daily providing fresh linens and cleaned the room. We booked especially looking forward to breakfast based on prior reviews, but it ended up being a bit disappointing. The only protein options the first morning were undercooked bacon and yogurt, and the strawberries were very acidic. The second morning did include breakfast burritos, but they weren't labeled and were in limited supply, so we chose to go out for breakfast instead. There were some fun elements, like karaoke and live music, which added to the experience. However, Saturday night there was a party that went on until a little after midnight. It could be heard throughout the property despite the stated quiet hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and we weren't notified in advance. The event was also open to people outside the motel, which led to many non-guests parking in the main lot, which is limited, and hotel guests having to use overflow parking. Overall, it's a lovely and unique place to stay, but it didn't fully meet expectations particularly with breakfast and guest-focused amenities. I'd recommend prioritizing parking for motel guests and setting clearer expectations around events so guest can plan ahead.

We drove up from Santa Fe earlier this morning, only to discover upon arrival that they food service amenities were closed on Wednesdays. In spite of our disappointment, Sebastian provided additional options in the immediate vicinity and, in addition, escorted us over to the racks of local maps and brochures, to advise us of the many options available in the Las Vegas NM area. It is this kind of attentive grace that makes us sure to return, but not on a Monday or Wednesday.

Nothing can beat the atmosphere for this cool historic hotel that is also rumored to be haunted…read more Our room had either a full or a queen bed - they were out of Kings when I booked. I'm sure I booked a queen, but the size of the bed was small and two full sized adults had a hard time fitting on it. It was a rough sleep. The mattress sagged toward the middle as well. In hindsight, I should have brought up the fact that the bed was not what we'd booked, but I wasn't 100% positive at the time. The room was nice, the bed being the exception, and the front desk responsive when we asked for two luggage racks for suitcases. We had none in there initially. The swamp cooler would randomly stop working during the night and made the room uncomfortable. Lots of celebrities and infamous characters have stayed here over the years. There's a lot of photos and framed info along the walls by the rooms. We wandered around reading everything. Parking is a pain - there are a couple in the back of the hotel and only street parking in the front.

It was very hot, so we drove up to near the ski area and the temps went from 93 to 66, very close. Lots of restaurants snd shopping around, so close to everything. Park is gravel on concrete. We had shade trees and some parts are really shady. Hosts are very nice and great tour guides. We didn't use the baths but laundry good, $2 load. They have a dog walk up front and a giant dog park about .3 mile from front. It's a walk, but nice. Wifi is pretty much non-existent. Tried to pick up local channels thru air since no cable, but couldn't get any locals. Had to stream Cowboys/Buccs game via ATT but still blurry. Probably a good thing.
