This property was initially built many years ago as a Holiday Inn. The layout of the hotel is so unique and very interesting as Taos has special building codes to follow. It is now an independent hotel and they are doing a fair job of keeping this sprawling property up to speed. It had gone through a period of disrepair... More

My family and stayed at Don Fernando In Taos during spring break March 26, 2013. We choose this Inn because of cost, it has an indoor swimming pool for grandchildren, and from reviews it looked okay. First and foremost I was awaken at 1:30AM with bed bugs in my bed. My daughter was in another room we checked her beds... More

Made our reservations on the phone for March 9th - 14th, clerk said Taos Ski Valley was only 10-12 miles from the hotel, (actually 22 miles one way). While making our reservations we told them we require a mini fridge for medication. On March the 8th I get an email from the hotel Don Fernando Taos stating that from March... More

Many years ago this used to be a nice property. Not anymore ! Management hasn't done a thing to update the rooms and it is barely acceptable ! Smells of smoke the minute you walk in. Stained carpet, ratty drapes that don't hang correctly, busted windows, horrible bed, despicable threadbare bedding I wouldn't give to goodwill, old TV, old scratched... More

I've stayed at the Don Fernando many times over the years. It has always been quiet, clean and comfortable... until now. I haven't stayed there in a year or so and man oh man has it gone down hill. I know that Motel 6 gets a bad rap for a budget motel but that place is the Taj compared to... More

We stayed here due to the great price on Expedia. We stayed for 7 nights/8 days with airfare from PHL to ABQ for $416.00. After reading the reviews and for the price we paid my expectations were not much. But I do believe you get what you pay for. For all of the bad reviews I read before our trip... More

My family and I and two other families stayed at Don Fernando's at the end of 2012. Usually, on trips, we tend to stay at hotels like Comfort Inn or Days Inn.

Rooms were cold, not just saying the temp in the air, but the walls, floor, beds, etc.....everything felt so cold. Good location, and average service, definitely nothing special but your choices are very limited in Taos. Surprised that this expensive artist community doesn't have any top brand hotels in it. Decent stay though, different look than your avg hotel in... More

The staff was excellent. However... The grounds of this old, worn hotel were littered with cigarette butts and trash. The rooms needed major updating with a little paint, rust cleaner in the sinks, a good tossing of the icky bedspreads and pink, thin foam blankets. I could never fully relax. I kept looking around at all of the obvious, glaring... More
