Well, you get what you pay for so I guess I shouldn't complain. However, if I had read a review before hand (there wasn't one) I would have shelled out twice the money for a different place. The rooms are only $45 per night. We were on a family ski trip and a very tight budget. This was the only way we could make it work. It won't happen again. The manager, Barbara, was a very sweet and helpful lady who is doing the best with what she has. She just has very little to work with. It is very rundown. We parked amidst several beer bottles and trash thrown down toward the canyon (a National attraction, I might add) with workers sitting on their tailgates in the parking lot drinking and staring. The building is "L" shaped. One end is the Ashley and the other is the Los Alamos Lodge. Weird, same building. Barbara was there when we arrived and was very nice. The entrance is pretty bad, heavy smoke smell and bad food odors throughout. I did mention this and she said "no one is supposed to cook in there rooms". I later realized that some people live in the rooms. Her office, the front desk, is a hotel room. Extras supplies are stuffed in the bathroom when you walk in. We took the dirty stairwell to our room and it just got worse from there. We passed at least two tenant leaving their rooms with their dogs to walk them just right outside where we park. Oh my gosh how the room stunk. The linens were so so old and ratty and torn and the carpet stained. There was a microwave and a frig. The window looked down toward the canyon but there were many things dumped out the windows like a chair, for example. The shower curtain was torn. Actually, it was just a shower curtain LINER, no curtain at all. There was no hot water the second night. After snow skiing all day, a cold shower just won't cut it. We were given 1 towel and 1 wash cloth. I went downstairs to get more at the office but there was a note taped to the door that said "be back in the morning". She leaves every night at around seven. I don't blame here a bit. There is breakfast (cereal, donut holes, etc) in the mornings but I couldn't make myself do it. The little dining room (in the office which is a hotel room) was just full of cigarette smoke. We traveled with two teenagers and they ate the breakfast with no problems. My husband and I are by no means "hotel snobs" but there is no way we would stay here again. When we went out to eat each night, we wasted as much time as we could so that we wouldn't have to be in the room. Again, I shouldn't complain because we only paid $45 but to be honest, it was only worth about $25. Bad deal. Other than that all of our meals in Los Alamos were great and the skiing at Pajarito was awesome! We'll be back next year but no way will we stay here. Sorry.
