Room was quaint and spotless, showered with plenty of hot water. Really not much to do in Chama, limited eating establishments. Group of deer walking down main strip, nice photo, well stocked grocery store.

Charming old hotel but expect old hotel quirks like slanted floors, small rooms and small beds that squeak! They've done a nice job restoring it.

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.
