It’s fine for visiting Cumbres and Toltec Railroad. Clean & basic priced right Motel. The surrounding area is beautiful and good for fly fishing / hunting. Outlaw, Local and Boxcar are great places to eat.
Dan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Best place in town. Clean convenient friendly, fully functional. Not a 5 star hotel but it’s not a 5 star town.
Stephen, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Run down hotel.
dennis, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Depressing, dreary, dingy old-style motel. On the plus side, it has new sink and toilet. Apparently, nothing better in the poor little town of Chama.
Larry, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

This is an older motel, but it is kept up well. We posted a sign to have maid service after the first night, but it was not done. As expensive as the rates are for this motel, you can find better choices in the area.
Joe, 2-night trip
