PERFECT FOR THE WEDDING GUESTS

The rooms and the hotel were a breath of New Mexico. Not cookie cutter American. The staff and service is amazing. They were very friendly, helpful and accomodating. They love their community and were always suggesting local events and things to do. The breakfast was delicioso and their staff delightful. Their gift shop is respresentative of the local culture and artists. The pool was wonderful. We can't wait to go back.
