I've been wanting to stay at the Shaffer for a long time and finally managed to make a visit. The Shaffer is one of those haunted hotels with all sorts of tales and some bullet holes still in the ceiling (ask one of the employees to point them out). However, we didn't experience a haunting during our stay and I... More

We went there with the hopes of seeing ghosts. We had an excellent time the hotel definantly has an eerie feel to it but is friendly. I highly recommend this place it is in an area of New Mexico that has some amazing history and the hotel is a must stay the renovation they have done is beautiful.....just don't bring... More

We only went to eat lunch there during our trip to the Salinas National Monument. We were seated quickly enough in the dining room. There were about ten/twelve tables in the place and it was still early enough and maybe half full. We placed our order; I had the green chile cheese hamburger and my travel companions - from Germany,... More

My family and I were staying at the Shaffer, that same week end we had a wonderful time. The food was some of the best in the State of New Mexico, their chile was full of flavor and just the right kick. I had the Indian Taco, the fry bread was light and flaky, I could not eat the whole... More

We fell in love with it! Staff was professional, courteous and trained. Just returned 2 days ago and was so, so disappointed! It is tacky, dirty, disorganized, shoddy, and completely unprofessional.... More

After reading other reports I thought me and my family would try it, you always give second chances. Well we found out that it is a family owned between 4 and have only been scince feburary of this yr2011.We felt at home very welcoming people and food was great. So as far as the other comments always give a chance..

My fiance and I recently held our wedding reception at the Shaffer. In general the staff was very nice and the food was good. However, the owner of the hotel is irresponsible and does not care about her guests. Every time we went in, to make arrangements, and even the day of our wedding, we had to ring the buzzer... More

Took My family to The shaffer hotel we stayed there 3 days. I read the other reviews and they weren't so great but we tried it anyways and they are under new management and they couldn't have made us feel more at home if they tried. The rooms were very clean and all the antiques are great. No to mention... More
