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.

We chose the Santiago Room" which is a touch of "Old World" Spain. The bed was comfy, the room was quiet, the ambiance of the adobe fireplace warming the room was calming. The bathroom was clean and unique, as was the entire room. That night, we were craving a warm beverage, so we headed down to the kitchen and made ourselves some tea. We will definitely be returning!

I really wanted to leave a glowing 5-star review because, when we first arrived I was obsessed with…read morethis place. My boyfriend, our dog, and I ended up booking this B&B last minute after leaving another accommodation early because it had bugs (including a camel spider in our bed ). We found this place online at resnexus.com as well Yelp and stalked their website, loved the photos, read the reviews, and immediately felt relieved when we arrived. The Piñon Casita was adorable, the property itself is beautiful, breakfast was delicious, and the hosts seemed friendly. For the first hour or so I was thinking, Thank goodness, we finally found the place. Unfortunately, things slowly started going downhill from there. The first night, the fireplace wouldn't work. We messaged the hosts, sent photos, tried troubleshooting it ourselves, and eventually just gave up and accepted we'd be having a fireplace-free evening. It wasn't the end of the world, and we figured hey, stuff happens. The next day they came and fixed it, which we appreciated. Then came the washer. One of the reasons we were excited about this casita was because it included a washer and dryer. Earlier in the week we'd already spent time at a laundromat, so we were looking forward to doing laundry before our 8-hour drive home. We started a load and got a 4E error less than halfway through the wash. We looked it up ourselves, we tried troubleshooting, we messaged the hosts, we followed their suggestions, and we tried different cycles. At this point I felt less like a guest and more like the on-call appliance technician. They eventually told us the washer had been fixed while we were out hiking, so we were excited to finally do laundry. Spoiler alert it wasn't fixed. Same error. We tried again later that evening. Same issue. Then around 11 PM the washer completely shut off and locked our wet laundry inside. We messaged the hosts again because we were supposed to leave the next morning after breakfast and start an 8-hour drive home. The response that frustrated us most wasn't even the broken washer, it was being told that because we hadn't specifically mentioned on the phone that we intended to use the washer and dryer, (And she said that they don't accept same day bookings, but made an exception for us, though that was never communicated nor was this a policy written anywhere on their website) compensation wouldn't be considered. Respectfully, if an amenity is advertised, guests shouldn't have to announce ahead of time that they plan on using it. That's like asking if the shower works before booking because you intend to shower. We weren't asking for a huge refund. We weren't asking for hundreds of dollars back. Even a small gesture of goodwill $50 to $100 off the stay would have gone a long way and would have shown that they understood the inconvenience. Instead, we paid full price despite having a fireplace that didn't work the first night and a washer/dryer that never functioned properly during our stay. To add to that, there were also multiple spiders and bugs inside the casita. I understand this is the countryside and bugs exist. Trust me, I get it. But after literally leaving our previous accommodation because of bugs, it wasn't exactly what we hoped to deal with again. The next morning our laundry was still trapped in the washer. Eventually my boyfriend ended up figuring out the breaker issue himself after staff told us where the breaker panel was located. We rushed to get our laundry spun and dried before checkout, but they still weren't completely dry. So instead of leaving relaxed after a nice getaway, we ended up starting our 8-hour drive home later than planned with damp laundry shoved into a trash bag. The frustrating part is that this review could have been completely different. The property is beautiful, the breakfast was genuinely fantastic, the casita itself is cute and cozy. And honestly, if the hosts had simply acknowledged the inconvenience and offered even a small amount of compensation, I probably would've happily overlooked most of this. Instead, we left feeling like the burden of fixing the problems fell on us while still paying full price for amenities we couldn't properly use. It's a lovely property, but unfortunately the way these issues were handled means we won't be returning.

But the owner was, I believe, not only nuts but a thief. Our Yorkie made a 1" dry "poo" on the carpet while the owner (who literally scared the s*&^ out of our dog) was there. We picked it up and there was not another problem that night. A HOT night, by the way, because the so-called "cool" casita was absolutely NOT cool, but the temps were about 93 inside the casita. The next day, she called us and told us that she had decided we could not stay there because of the "horrible" dog that made a mess all over the carpet. She kicked us out even though we had booked five days! We had already paid over $900 for this place and she refused to return a dime, claiming that she now had to replace the carpet! Our little dog clearly smelled other dog urine on the carpet at the edge of the bed footing and the owner admitted that other dogs had already been in the casita. So, after driving all the way from Dallas with our dog, we had to drive all the way back since every pet friendly place was already booked in the Santa Fe and Taos area. She RUINED our vacation. I will forever hate this woman and, frankly, think badly about Taos because of her. DO NOT RENT THE LA CASITA DE CHOCOLATE OR I BELIEVE YOU WILL REGRET IT!

The next morning, Richard was on our doorstep with warm pear and walnut scones that he made from the pear tree on the property. Our little cottage was perfect. Filled with local art work, bright colors and the textures of the Southwest. We had a lovely living room, dining area with a banquette, kitchen stocked with everything we needed. Upstairs was the bedroom and bathroom with a large deck off the bedroom and stunning views of the mountains surrounding Taos. Everything was spotlessly clean, warm, inviting and cozy. We relaxed, enjoyed and savored every moment we were here. I even used the little meditation hut next to the creek for my morning meditations. It was the most peaceful spot.

Houses of the Moon is a truly interesting stay. A western, and sometimes southwestern, take on a…read moretraditional Japanese inn. Each of the rooms is moon themed, named, whether in English or Japanese, after a phase of the moon. Those with good Japanese skills, however, may notice that they've run out of phases of the moon and have started doubling up (there is both a hangetsu and half moon, for example). The site is absolutely gorgeous. Even if you're not staying here, it's worth a drive outside of Santa Fe just to come gawk at the architecture. The rooms are comfortable, if a bit sparse. Our mid-level room, for example, had no table. The original rooms are built out of a renovated 80-year old adobe house, and as a result are heated by overhead units and fireplaces rather than central air. Despite that, I never felt uncomfortable in the room, despite visiting in November. I also found the bed very comfortable. Firm but forgiving, not the mushy-soft beds which are becoming trendy at some high end hotels. The rooms do also have a number of amenities, including a variety of types of tea (although not very good tea), fresh fruit, and granola in the room daily. The granola and fruit make an excellent breakfast and/or midnight snack, which is important because it's a little ways into town from Houses of the Moon. The washlets in the room (electric Japanese toilets with heated seats and bidet features) are a nice touch. I personally found the Buddha chocolates delicious, but somewhat kitschy and sacrilegious. I imagine there are a lot of folks out there who would be offended by a place that served you little chocolate Jesuses, so it seems to me we should treat the Buddha with at least as much reverence. Add to that the fact that freeing yourself from earthly desires is a central tenet of Buddhism, and the idea of serving chocolate Buddhas (chocolate being something of a symbol of luxury and earthly desire) seems a bit strange if you stop to think about it. Houses of the Moon also provides guests with yukatas (which they refer to as kimono, presumably for the predominantly Western guests), and bath sandals. However, these don't appear to be sized to the guests. My medium sized self and girlfriend got an XXXL and XXL coat to go over our yukata, and I was swimming in my sandals as well. A nice touch, but would be a lot better if they weren't so huge! Yukata can be worn to Ten Thousand Waves and Izanami, both located on the same property. In addition, Houses of the Moon guests have complimentary use of the communal baths at Ten Thousand Waves, with some restrictions. A nice perk. The staff at Houses of the Moon were excellent, calm, helpful, and never intrusive. They answered all of our questions, and anticipated our needs. A highlight of the stay. Overall, for those looking for a quiet retreat without a lot of hubbub or action, Houses of the Moon is a good choice. If you're just looking to visit Santa Fe, Houses of the Moon doesn't represent a good value for money. There are plenty of nice places to stay closer to the city at much lower rates. Houses of the Moon should also not be mistaken for an authentic Japanese ryokan. While it bears some relation to one, it is more of a western cousin.

Unfortunate for Ojo Caliente. Whereas many of the past guests rated it poorly (the current rating…read moreof this place is only 3.5 stars as of April 2026), I, fortunately, had a wonderful experience at this one of the oldest health spas in the country. From the stretch (yoga class before soaking) to soaking in 8 different pools to dining at the resort restaurant to shopping in the gift shop, everything exceeded my expectations where the only proper thing to do is to give it a perfect 5-star review. I bought the "soak and stretch" combo thing with 90-minute yoga class in a yurt. I paid the weekend pricing ($85) as I went here on a Sunday but it was all worth it as it turned out, I was the ONLY student in the class so I had an intimate 1-on-1 session with Julie, my instructor who made the class level so easy for me. It was also my first time to attend a yoga class in a yurt, certainly one-of-a-kind opportunity that I had never experienced in the past. A few pools were closed (one of them was the arsenic one), having access to 8 pools was plenty. My favorites were Soda pool (inclosed/covered) and Mud pool but frankly all pools have their own unique "healing" elements to them whereby immersing your whole body in them patiently, you will become a whole new person inside out. The locker rooms/showers/toilets etc. (in short, amenities) were all well-maintained and clean. The beach chairs were plenty throughout the resort. When not soaking, relax in one of them by simply sunbathing or do some reading. The surrounding environment is also a healing element to your eyes and mind. After soaking, head to the restaurant/wine bar for a nice meal (which I did. After yoga stretching and soaking in different pools, I sure was famished). My waiter, Jacob, was most polite and attentive to my needs. The Grilled Ruby Trout with a bed of wild rice is what I ordered and I cannot recommend it enough. This is a must-get item off the menu. A glass of Justin (red) wine ended up being a fantastic choice to accompany my meal. After my quick meal, I headed to the gift shop for a little souvenir. I got me one of the branded crop top tees (only $22 or so) to commemorate my visit to the resort for the first time (I had waited for almost 10 years before I could finally visit Ojo; it was simply way too long of a wait.) The final little thing I did was to walk around the property to take some awesome photos of the surrounding nature. Ojo's setting is simply breathtaking and spectacular. My trip to Taos area was too short. Had I had one more day, I would have done an all-day soaking, not just several hours. That is my only regret. Back in the hustle bustle life in Denver, I am already in need for another good soaking. I could go back to Ojo by tomorrow.

So I've been here for a few days as a whole Caliente it's…read morereally awesome place! being my first time! the reason for the 3 stars is the food and prices on things are not consistent. it was 5 stars was my massage with sarah she was fantastic! Thank you all for making my birthday and our 20 anniversary so amazing! everything was very nice except the food and drinks not so much. first time I was there on Monday afternoon, I waited 25 min. at least before even being acknowledge or even said anything to me. the bartender girl looked like she was very overwhelmed! and i ordered a grilled artichoke which was great! and i didn't mind waiting but found out the cider i was charged 8.60 for a cider they don't carry. and the young man who came in after was complaining about the gal who just left and didn't set up anything for him. he was nice as but the next day i came in to order dinner so i got the 22 buck smash burger and when i got it back to my room. it wasn't smashed it was an anemic 2 patty, it doesn't say on the menu it had 2 patty's and it wasn't even good at all. so i came in and told the guy and all he did was apologize. i should have asked for the manager but i thought he would have offered me to credit me or replace it. but nope. then I asked him if I could have a cider and he said 7+ some change so i asked him how come the girl charged me 860 and the guys like she shouldn't because we no longer have that cider they are great at being consistent with inconsistency's like the food/prices. than my fiancée showed up the next evening then i took back to the wine bar and we ordered another artichoke and i think all employees at the restaurant/wine bar seemed overwhelmed. but after we waited for a little bit we got the artichoke and it was was raw and tough, so i sent that back and then my man ordered fajitas. He ordered the steak and shrimp, but we got the combo chicken steak and shrimp and there was absolutely no flavor at all. and the chicken/ steak were not cut properly, they looked hacked up. at the same time we were ordering a very tall guy walks in kind of red hair and I guess it was the owner son and the young guy that was taking his order kind of catered to him not us because we waited a while again, but it's all good. The tall young man was very polite though!! the guys are aware that Guy was very nice but come on because the owner Son comes in and ordered a bunch of stuff. so after that i asked for a second artichoke and it was even colder but what ever! not even cooked but how do you grill an artichoke and have it underdone?. so our third night we came in and order a pizza the meat lovers well meat lovers ha ha ha really seven pieces of bad pepperoni and maybe eight pieces of of horrible Italian sausage. And then they don't give you any or offer us any Parmesan cheese or red pepper so here's the good part I went and I spoke to Santiago who was a young guy willing to help me and he said I can get you a container full of Parmesan cheese and red pepper. I said thank you so much. and it was so refreshing to have someone provide me with outstanding customer service skills. so it doesn't take much to make a guest feel special. ! so i asked him can i speak to your manager? this guy walks out, not really even caring what I was saying, but I said Santiago's outstanding employee, you can in his eyes. He wants to make people happy. I told him he is the best employee you have so far. and he goes I'll put that in my report and i shared you need help with your staff and their guest service skills. he said yes i do and walks out while i was still speaking with him, he had no clue i was an on-boarding master trainer for huge companies in calif, anyway these people need big help here judt because if they want to continue to be a luxury resort then they should hire luxury people luxury as in people who love to show up for work and want to create an experience for everyone at Ojo Caliente restaurant and hopefully the new mgr gal will do her magic. but the guy manager did not seem to care or he was over it! Santiago. He's so young provided such a can-do attitude and had passion!. So I would give it a five star for Santiago, but the food in the inconsistency of pricing I was here and Sarah was an awesome incredible massage therapist so if you ever at Ojo Cali please check santiago has the natural gift for the service industry. anyway! please whoever looks at this review from Ojo caliente's restaurant. there was really no rude people just some people do not really care or not properly trained. that starts at the top. and maybe someone should come in and show them how to have fun again while providing 5star guest/customer service. anyway all in all i had a fantastic time here! massage was fantastic, rooms were beautiful bed was so cozy the bedding wow, you guys just need some retraining! or someone to come in and revamp your training and find their passion again!
