Review from MaryLu C.

Other reviews slam the place. I completely disagree.
It is close to the slopes and the front desk staff are all long term locals who are beyond helpful with problems and questions big and small.
There are small kitchenettes in most rooms, so you never have to eat out.
Wi-fi when we were there was great.
Hot tub no better or worse than any other ski hotel hot tub.
Now for the only reason it is not a 5. If you make your reservations through Taos reservations, once you check in, you cannot get a refund if you leave early, even if it is the last day of the season and the hotel is basically closed the last night but for you and one or two other guests. This is not like Summit County. Once you get her you will realize that the your thought of getting up early to catch your flight the next morning was not a good idea as the three hours to the airport really is close to four at rush hour. They know everyone has this thought and will not give a refund. -

This is ranked one of the top three places to stay in the Taos Ski Valley by a bunch of sites, magazines, etc.
First the bad stuff - do NOT stay in the lofts above the ski shop. They are small (no way 6 people could survive a week together in one), run down, under appointed (no mirrors besides in the bathroom) and the walls are paper thin.
On this last point, we were serenaded each morning at 7:30 by the music from the ski shop below - while I love the Rollings Stones, Todd Rundgren, the Beatles, et al, we were a little surpised to be signing the "woo-hoo's" from Sympathy for the Devil at 7:35am on our first morning. Also, we were in #19, which is adjacent to another room. When the guests arrived at the other room they might as well have moved in with us, given how clearly we could hear them - including at 2am.
Other not so great stuff:
- There is no restaurant right on the premises. While there are plenty of other options, it would be nice to be able to stay inside and get a bagel in the morning.
- they promised wi-fi but given our location the only one with a strong signal was the ski shop...and the router was, at best, intermittent.
- I got a decent massage from a lovely woman named Kat...but I had asked for the foot soak and shoulder massage and when I got there she had no idea what I was talking about and was not set up for the foot part. Oh my tootsies.
- The hot tub is big but the shallowest I have ever experienced. no kidding. I could sit on the bottom and still have my entire head out of water. WTF.
Here's the good news - it's convenient to the mountain. The people were all really really nice. Oh, and Tim's Stray Dog Cantina is right next door.
I think if I were to go back I would try the Edelweiss, St Bernard or Snakedance. -

Four of us spent two nights here in July 2008. It was okay for the price, although it seemed a bit worn around the edges. We had a room with a loft bedroom, and that was kind of cool; two of us slept upstairs and two on a sleeper sofa. The staff was very friendly. We'd stay here again, but aside from the ski lift and hiking (both of which were fun), there isn't much to do here in the off-season and we spent most of our time in Taos. On the other hand, the quiet has a certain attraction.
