Ok, so this place has not had reviews since 2019, let me bring you up to date...2022…read more I saw the good reviews for this place and thought I'd try it out. This place is getting 2 stars only because the bed was comfy, it was warm and the Tv worked. The owner was nice, friendly. Now, let's get to the bad parts. The previous person who was in #6, was late leaving...therefore, I had to find something to do for the next hour while they got the place cleaned and ready...she did offer me another room but, not for the same price. Where I went will be another review and for that time it worked out. My room was nice and clean for the most part. The bathroom sink was clogged and slow to drain, Toilet was low to the ground, there is mold on the ceiling, and the fan was covered with dust, and bugs, spiders on the wall and ceiling. Oh, and I had a wasp in my room! The shower sprayer was to harsh, and not enough hot water. The coffee pot had no coffee filters. It was quiet and was able to take my dog out at night, and pretty dark, the street light came on then went off. The lady that owns it has the place very cluttered and the kitchen where I went to check out was pretty cluttered and dirty. So, if I go up there again, I will look for another place and pay more to make sure I feel more comfortable.

Tucked away in the mountain town of Jemez Springs, loves this tiny inn. We've stayed here multiple…read moretimes throughout the years, and the owner Billie has always been very cordial and hospitable to us. Make no bones about it- stuff here is very old school. A box TV, VCR only that doesn't always work, quilted blankets, and old school horse pictures. When you walk in, you will probably think you have been transported to the 80's but Billie and her housekeeper keep it very clean. She has a couple different room options, from tiny one bedrooms, to a few family rooms, to one larger room with an upstairs. We have stayed in a couple different of their rooms and most recently stayed in the one with the upstairs. It was roomy for four people, but note that the upstairs has a very low ceiling. So what if they don't have all the big amenities? They have a fantastic view, in a great relaxing location. It's a great value at $80 a night, for comfy beds and hot water.

Don't do that unless you have a 4WD and like fear - think The Shining. I saw deer too so yay. It's definitely far out from any major town so you know it's going to be special. Check in: super easy, no staff on site because it was late and off-season but entry instructions were clear and easy. Main lobby is a great lounge area with tons of games, books, snacky stuff, full kitchen, stocked fridge. Area: awesome location, near the base of a mountain with a river stream nearby. It's magical. Room: clean, super quiet, new Mexican decor. Also, I think the floor tiles were heated, which is something I didn't think I needed in my life until that moment. Other: I didn't pool or hot tub it given wintery weather but they're there. Also, there's a really old saloon Los Ojos nearby and it's the very definition of dive bar. I felt like I was in the Hateful Eight. Oh, there's the jemez springs which is also great in the winter I'll be back.

I had such a wonderful experience at the Laughing Lizard Inn…read more Having self check-in/out made the experience seamless. The setup for the room was also the cutest. The location couldn't have been more perfect in regards to the hot springs. The inn is also super easy to find. There are a couple super cute restaurants/bars with live music. I went to Los Ojos Restaurant Saloon where RND was performing (they were great!). Highly recommend the Laughing Lizard Inn!

The nearby spas are perfect for relaxing. Jemez Pueblo always has some great vendors and a great hiking trail. The place is near fishing, hiking and great places in nature to watch birds. Highly recommended.

My husband and I loved the peacefulness of this place, but the hostess was a little strange. The…read morebathroom sink didn't work from the first time we used it, and when we texted the hostess she told us where the plunger was and to plunge it. Little did we know that we would be plunging it daily! There were no screens in the windows, so if you wanted fresh air it came complete with bugs! The casitas were very small and cramped with no place to eat your food unless you went out onto the porch. Unfortunately, I dropped a small piece of chicken on the sheet and quickly tried to clean it up, but it left a small stain. I felt terrible until I saw the bill included a cleaning fee and service charge. What service?

I came to Suitable Digs for the 20th time or so...this time, with a new and wonderful man in my…read morelife. We were still in the early stages of getting to know each other and basking in such beautiful and lively surroundings, I learned some new things about him (one can't help but express themselves openly while visiting Suitable Digs). The interest and the pleasure he took in retro, vintage style items was new to me--and only enhanced by our getting to stay in the unique classic, the Spartan. We were already excited by the incredible vegetable and fruit gardens growing in this desert Eden, alongside the various and fascinating water catchment, solar and other energy-conserving systems. So much to see and take in! But when we stepped into the Spartan for the first time, wow...he came alive in a new and different way than I had seen before. His eyes gleamed with wonder, like a little boy on the first eve of Chanukah. The trailer was adorned in time period style, authentic in its original form with all the little extras that Lisa had taken the time and painstaking effort to locate and attach, no distance too far or too wide, no fixture unaccounted for. My beau settled in on the couch to read, out loud, several pages of Red Sky at Morning, a 1968 novel by Richard Bradford that takes place in New Mexico. I listened to him laugh and reminisce all over again, as he had when he first read it years ago. That evening, we sat in chairs on the patio outside the Spartan, gazing at the bright moonlit sky and feeling dreamy about where we had landed together. I recall the moonlight as it shone into the Spartan and landed on soft pillows, just as the warm morning sunlight welcomed itself into our cozy abode to gently awaken us the next day. Being at Suitable Digs for the 21st time was just as familiar as ever...and at the same time, it was as unexpected and fresh as traveling to a completely unfamiliar and exotic destination for the first time. The innovative air that always exists there, remains.

The rooms were cute, very well-kept, and extremely comfortable--exactly as the pictures illustrated. Lisa took time to show us the premises, complete with all of her amazing projects. The rooms feature water recycling, solar-generated electricity, composting, and on-demand water heating system (very cool). Beautiful surrounding area with soul-warming views of the distant mountain range. Easy drive from downtown (yet far enough for a refreshing & secluded feel) and delicious restaurants--just ask Lisa for some recommendations. She was very helpful in offering suggestions to explore the culture, food, and geography of Santa Fe. Overall: overwhelming comfort met eye-opening learnings in sustainability, along with a truly wonderful and inspiring host.

After searching for a place to stay in Northern New Mexico, I came across Cliff River Springs. I…read morewas super excited, as the place appeared gorgeous and remote, exactly what we were looking for. Our expectations were not only met, but exceeded many times over. From the friendly and welcoming hosts to the absolutely stunning landscape, this place is totally amazing. The Casita - We were lucky and got an upgrade to Upper Stream. What a gorgeous place. Warm wood floors, a full and well equipped kitchen, a nice gas fireplace, little touches around the place, all really made it feel incredibly cozy and welcoming. We ate out a few times but brought plenty of food to cook breakfast and lunch on site. Our stay lasted four days, so it felt almost like home! The Land - I am an urbanite, so this place was literally nirvana to me. We saw a hawk in action, and heard coyotes. We went on a nice walk, along the dry river bed and up into the hills. I was giddy with the the views and plant life bursting around me. Just be sure to bring a hat! It's bright/warm out there (we were there in early October). I fell in love with the pond! It was an oasis in the dry climate of New Mexico. We spent a lot of time sitting up there, taking in the view. My traveling companion went swimming, too! I can't say enough good things about Cliff River Springs. Those four days will stay with me for many, many moons to come.

My spectacular but I should have booked another month stay at the Cliff River Springs. I spent an…read moreincredible five weeks (04/01/2021 - 05/06/2021) in "Cliff Mid" casita on the Cliff River Springs property. I will start with the gracious manager, Hope, then the property, and finally the casita. My five week stay was phenomenal because of Hope Atterbury. Hope's kindness and attentiveness pierced through me from our first email correspondence to my last day. She responded to my emails quickly (I have a feature phone without vowifi but got good reception around the upper pond, the plaza, and the parking lot). Hope appropriately checked on my wellbeing without being annoying. During my stay I did not have a vehicle (I still don't lol). Hope generously offered and picked up groceries from me whenever she went into town. Without her kindness, I would have been very hungry, but I still would have enjoyed the scenery and my casita. The Cliff River Springs property is vast, varied, and vibrant. After my arrival, Hope showed me around the beautiful property; more importantly, she showed me the map of the property and the guide to the various trails and hikes on the property. During the first two weeks, I had an amazing time exploring the property and trails. Listening, feeling, smelling, and watching nature be reborn was peaceful and soul satisfying. After the weather warmed and I got some courage, I took several rejuvenating swims in the upper pond. Later on I found a distinguished, tremendous tree to share energy, practice yoga, meditate, and observe life near my casita (the tree is near the longest bench and valley overview area). My casita, "Cliff Mid," was quiet, charming, and cozy. "Cliff Mid" contained everything I needed to feel at home. It had great wifi, a full sink, refrigerator, dishes, salt, olive oil, various tea bags, tea kettle, soap, towels, a gas range and oven, a toaster, dining table, full size bed with a thick comforter, sofa, arm chair, bathroom, electric heat baseboards, yoga mat, books, pots and pans, spices, and hot sauce. My favorite part of the casita are the windows. There is one window in the front and three windows in the back of the casita. I love the refreshing air flow with all the windows open. Also being able to watch the birds, especially the humming birds, from the front window and listen to the stream from the back windows is spectacular. One of the best parts of my adventure at Cliff River Springs were the moments I shared with the other guests and staff. I had different neighbors during my stay. Everyone had positive, calm aura; additionally, everyone was friendly. Whether you come by yourself, with a friend, or with a bunch of family, you will enjoy the harmony and nature at Cliff River Springs. You will leave relaxed and happier (maybe a little sad leaving because you want to stay longer). I plan to return to Cliff River Springs to experience its magic during each season. I started in spring next is summer.

I thought this price point meant it would be lovely service and a nice clean comfortable room. I was told upon arrival I would have to pay an additional $50 to use the pullout sofa that is in the room. This was not made clear in any way on the booking page. $750 is not a justifiable amount for this room. We did not have consistent hot water, so twice we took cold showers. There was not enough water pressure to fully rinse my hair. A fabric shower curtain unsanitarily clung to my skin in the small shower. I woke up to find a very large creeping insect on my pillow, crawling inches away from my face. We did not sleep well after this. The bed was miserably uncomfortable with sunken areas, old mealy thin pillows, no comforter or duvet but rather a thin quilt. We were given one towel each for the two of us. There is no front desk to get more, and I didn't feel good about texting them at 6am when I needed one. There are no robes, no full length mirror, no comforter, or any other amenities that make $350 a night make sense. The grounds are cluttered with items like old milk pales, skeletons, quirky sculptures, unused picnic tables, etc, it did not feel like a peaceful environment nor reflective of the photos online. Why are all the other reviews positive? It's extremely difficult to write a negative review of any business where you've interacted with the owners directly. But I really wish I had seen a review like this so I could have made an honestly informed decision.

Madrid Casita is a private lodging for daily/weekly rental in the historic mining town of Madrid,…read moreNew Mexico--just 20 minutes from Santa Fe on the historic Turquoise Trail. The casita is located behind the owner's artist studio and home. It is a very small home equipped with a queen-size bed, a full-sized futon, roomy closet, full kitchenette including: coffeemaker, toaster oven, stove, utensils, refrigerator/freezer, blender, complementary coffee and tea, air conditioning, a space heater, a private outdoor deck with an amazing mountain view, and private parking. The fridge is stocked with bottles of water, a couple of sodas and two beers and if consumed you pay a reasonable price unlike what hotels try to charge you for that stuff. A bottle of water was a dollar and it was $3 for a beer. My boyfriend and I stayed at the Casita for 2 nights. It was super romantic and peaceful. We spent the evenings stargazing on a little deck next to the roof and one night we heard the coyotes singing. The bed was comfortable. The casita was quiet. It is really nice to stay somewhere that you don't have the housekeeper knocking at your door at 8 in the morning and you don't have to listen to the people in the next room doing who knows what. It was also very affordable, $95.00 a night including tax. Now for what I would call the weak points. 1. The water pressure isn't so great but you are out in the desert so what do you expect. 2. The driveway is unpaved and a bit sketchy unless navigated with care, mostly while exiting the casita. 3. This is my least favorite thing about the casita. You can't flush your toilet paper and have to put it in a trashcan next to the toilet. I kept forgetting and having to fish it out and the sink was not in the bathroom so that part was a bit gross and kind of a pain. Despite the three weak points mentioned above. The casita was way better than staying at any lame motel in Santa Fe or Albuquerque. The town of Madrid is amazing and a walk to town is only 1/2 mile. You are also close to hiking, horseback riding, and/or a massage.You can also visit owner Mike Wright's artist studio and sculpture garden. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.
