Stayed one night in June 2013. The elevator had been damaged by a rodeo participant, so we schlepped our luggage up three flights of stairs. Our friend's toilet would not flush. Air conditioning works by turning a 1950s era knob to let in more cool air. No closets.To use the commode, you had to slide under the sink. I took... More

I know the owner of this hotel it just changed and now it is beautiful inside! Everything is brand new and looking better then ever. My friend had her wedding reception there this past month an it's absolutely beautiful! I recommend this hotel along with a cumbres and Toltec train ride in Alamosa only 17 miles east of Monte Vista.... More

This is a histroic hotel that has been renovated in May 2012. It is very nice and when you step into it, it is like a step back in time. The rooms are very beautiful, comfortable and clean. The restaurants are very good, ate breakfast and lunch in the cafe and it was delicious. I have also eaten dinner there... More

Historic property is located in the heart of Monte Vista, Colorado. I paid approximately $45 a night through a web search (can't remember which one). The facility is fine if you want a clean, simple room. Room furnishings are unspectacular-older mattress and television. The bathroom was extremely small, but clean. I had trouble with the low shower head and I'm... More
