Family Train Ride
Family train ride trip with brothers and sister along with spouses. Check-in and communication with hotel staff was excellent. All had a great stay. The quick breakfast items in the morning was a plus.

Nice breakfast bar and deck available. A little skimpy on hand/bath soap and shampoo. Larger of both would be greatly appreciated. Great location

Since we stayed two nights, I was surprised that we did not have clean towels or the bed made when we returned from riding the train to Chama.

Had a really nice time here. There is a lot of character in this small hotel in this really small town. If you are wanting to be in the area for outdoorsing (most likely, I'd guess) it is a nice alternative to camping.

This was a very eclectic, unusual and fun place to say very close to the Antonito train station we were there to enjoy a scenic railway trip!
We had the only room with a king bed and kitchenette, good restaurants nearby!
We recommend!

Funky Place, Not Bad!
The Steam Train is a funky old place--1911 vintage building rooms with old furniture. Our room had a nice bathroom with a great big old claw foot tub. Perfectly fine place to stay on a budget. Their breakfast room has a generous supply of food in general, and a nice pool table. Access is not good if you have mobility problems, as you must climb a steep outdoor stairway to get to the rooms. We (71 yrs old) had no problem. If you aren't looking for luxury and like funky, you will enjou your stay.

The people could not have been nicer so the rating is not a reflection on them. The property is in poor condition and the room was way overpriced. Beds were fine but the electrify didn’t work in the bathroom. The communication was a problem because there was no place to check in. We went into the restaurant and they called someone to meet us. The breakfast was a little game room with one table and pop tarts. We made our own coffee. There aren’t a lot of options in town but this one needs updating.

Very disappointed!
I was very disappointed with my stay at the Steam Train Hotel. The room and location were great, but the room had a broken heating system that could no be turned off. The room was very hot and the manager, Paul said that there was a valve in the heating system that was broken and could not be turned off. I had to put a fan by the window to cool the room. I asked if there was another room and he said there was, but I would have to move again. there was no offer of any compensation for the discomfort in a very hot room. If the knew that the heating was broken, why was the room listed as available.

The hotel was unique. We enjoyed our stay very much. With all the antiques and history we felt like it took us back in time. Was very enjoyable. The owner Paul was super nice. Gave us all the information and direction we needed for a great stay. We would stay there again!

Very fun unique hotel. If you like to stay at historical one-of-a-kind of places, then this is the spot. Convenient to the train station.
