The Hotel is well kept and as clean as you will find and the owners are excellent hosts. Yes, it's an older hotel and the bathroom was a little small, but so what? It was clean, everything worked, and the price is a bargain. There is a public computer and printer but I didn't need them. I saw others use... More

The bad news: The Hotel (AKA The Railroad Hotel) is a tattered, run down, no frills place. The good news: It feels the way a tattered, run down, no frills place might have felt in the 30's, and you were on a Depression era budget. So at least you'll be staying in historical squalor rather than mere contemporary squalor. Other... More

This hotel is located in an old building in downtown Chama. The rooms are on the 2nd floor and there is a gift shop at ground level. Upstairs, there is a balcony on the front and the rooms are located on both sides of a hallway. It reminds one of a hotel from the forties. However, it has wifi and... More

That this s---hole is rated #2 in Chama is amazing! This is the kind of place where you watch where you step and what you touch, because you never know what you're going to come across. Admittedly, my standards are high, and I usually stay in four-star places. The previous night, I had stayed in the New Sheridan in Telluride,... More

I stayed at The Hotel in late July while travelling on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. The hotel is in a good location, where you can walk to the train, nearby restaurants, and local shopping. A balcony wih chairs overlooks the railroad yard and depot. The place is not fancy at all, but the room was adequate for my... More

Chama is a beautiful, charming and friendly small town, I look forward to revisiting more than anywhere else I have been. The RR hotel, as well as the people that run it, is a true treasuer. The C&T RR is the only tourist RR I have ever wanted to ride more than once, now a yearly trip for me, well... More

The Hotel is nice for a short stay. Older hotel but for price and convenience it was great. Only drawback is the smell of cigarettes when you walk in. I am a non-smoker and only one electrical outlet in the room. There are none in the bathroom for curling irons and blowdryers. Minor inconveniece. Train was awesome. More
