We stayed two nights here in early October, everything was great. A month after my Wife made the reservations, I went to this web site and read some of the reviews, I was apprehensive, but was pleasantly suprised when we arrived. It was near the Railroad we had come to ride, it was very clean and everything worked. If we... More

This motel is immaculte and the staff is outstanding--the young woman at the front desk goes the extra mile to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We have stayed here many times over the past few years and love the place.The beds are as comfortable as any luxory resort--pillowtops--in room coffee makers and a continental breakfast. The Chama area is... More

The room was very clean, but found the woman manning the desk to be very unfriendly. First time in Chama, so have nothing else to compare to, however, your choices are very limited. The walls are very thin and the continental breakfast is either a muffin or bowl of cereal. More

We reserved 8 rooms for 16 people. 6 of the people in my group cancelled but because we did not cancel the rooms 48 hrs in advance, we had to pay for all 8 rooms. While we were at the registration desk over 15 people showed up looking for rooms and the clerk informed them that there were no rooms.... More

Thank you for your recent stay at Vista del Rio Lodge. The email address you used was incorrect. I have emailed you as well, but have not received a response. I am sorry that you felt like you were not treated fairly. I have no doubt that it felt like you my manager was not being cooperative. However, you failed... More

Chama's hotel scene is quite limited--not in quantity so much but in quality. The Vista del Rio is a clean, "mom and pop" place located just outside of town on the road to Taos. There is nothing fancy or memorable about this place but it is clean, the beds were comfortable and everything worked. It looked as if it was... More

the young lady at the desk was quite pleasant and helpful with breakfast items, etc. Our room, however, had what seemed to be the thinnest walls in existence. although it appears that the place has been renovated or is fairly new, they evidently cheaped out on the sound absorption in every direction. toilet flushes, showers and sink usage of our...

We ended up at this motel as our second choice, but it was just perfect for our needs. The rooms are spotlessly clean (a big plus for me) and the mattresses are very comfortable pillow tops. we ended up on the side that had only queen beds, but it turned out to be a bonus, as the sunsets were beautiful,...

This property was very clean and comfortable with excellent owners who truly take pride. The beds were very comfortable and the service excellent. My sister, daughter and I had a reservation at another Hotel in Chama and left due to extreme disappointment in the cleaniness of the room. We checked out and went to stay at this hotel .Only regret... More

I read all the TripAdvisor reviews on hotels in Chama and choose the Vista del Rio for it's location and the fact that it had park by your door parking. We had a large room, clean, very hard beds, coffee maker, refrigerator. We were advised that we would not need A/C in late June. Unfortunately, we were there during an... More

This is a fine place to stay if you must stay in Chama. It's pretty clean and comfortable but don't expect more than motel-like amenities. There is no air conditioning, only a portable fan/heater. For October, this was adequate. The room was a bit noisy the one night that I had a next-door neighbor. If I could do it all... More
