We stayed for one night, a Saturday night in September 2024.. This property is expensive and is a dump. It is way overdue for a makeover. Although the beds were comfortable, my mattress had a stain on the side. The rooms get dusty and were minimally furnished. We had a suite with one room with two queens and one room with one king. The smoke alarm started going off in the middle of the night in the room with the king.it was too high for us to reach. We called the desk to no answer. The next day. the clerk said someone from maintenance wouldn’t be in until Monday to fix it. When I checked in. the clerk wanted my driver’s license and did not return it There was no note on my door and it was not returned when I checked out I discovered it was gone on Sunday night, after I had returned to Albuquerque. I called and spent an hour on the phone talking to the clerk,who kept putting me on hold. She said she would overnight it to me, as I was flying home on Weds. She could not get my name. phone number or the address where to send the license to, correct. She then asked me to e-mail it to the motel, which I did,
The next morning, my friends and I decided we couldn’t trust this motel so we planned a trip back to Taos to pick up my license.This was five hour round trip. We went to pick it up, the clerk pulled out a pile of at least 10 other driver’s licenses, so keeping people’s licenses is something they routinely do. Do not stay at this motel unless it is a last resort.
