“Noisy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

The Lodge is not a bad value deal but we had some problems with the boiler room next to our room which kept us up all night. I called the front desk who sent a night watchman down but he didn't want to wait long enough for the noise to re-occur. The pump was getting air and as a result the check valve would slam closed and shake the entire bed. Avoid rooms 153 - 158. They moved us to another room, Room 150, the next night and we heard water leaking. Maybe it was the ice machine drain? The walls are a little thin and you can hear the neighbors talking (and they can hear you!). But the location is good and the hotel has the amenities I want....except I never got a good night's sleep.

Room Tip: Avoid rooms 153-158 and room 150.

I read the different reviews, and most of em underrated this hotel. This place was clean, no bed bugs, honest manager, warm hot breakfast (not a continental), and shuttle to Tao Ski Resort. This was a good value.

“What a disappointment.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I was traveling to Taos on business and decided to stay in a place with which I was familiar. I had previously stayed at the Kachina about 20 years ago, and it was great. Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the intervening 20 years, and the place is in serious disrepair. The rooms were seriously in need of renovation. When I checked in, the maid had left the vacuum cleaner in the middle of the room and the cart just outside the door. The only way I can describe the "aroma" of the guest rooms is "porno theater." (don't ask). In any event, this will be my last stay and I anticipate this once charming accommodation becoming a boarded up eyesore one an otherwise charming drive through Taos.

You mention your stay here 20 years ago, you say it was great. You also said; nothing has changed? We have done many renovations at the Kachina since you were here. A vacuum was left in the middle of the room and a cart outside. This sounds as if the maid was not finished cleaning the room. You should not have gotten the key. For this we apologize. If you would have told us, we could have changed your room. We are disappointed your stay here was not up to your standards. Along with our profuse apology and if it is at all possible, we would appreciate another chance. Please contact Carolyn at the Kachina Lodge.

“Not much changing”

We stayed at the Kachina lodge in May 2009. At that time it was part of the Best Western chain and they said they were going to improve the facilities, which were in decline. i note that in Dec. 2011, they have lost there Best Western affiliation. It sounds like not much has happened in 18 months or so, except probably futher decline.

We want to thank you for your feed back. We are happy to receive both negative and positive feed back it helps us to grow. After a long while and careful thought we decided that we could do the same as Best Western or better on our own and we are. I am sure that many of our guests would agree with us, that the Kachina is in great shape. Our staff is here to make sure that our guests are having a comfortable and enjoyable stay. During your next stay, please let the front desk know your concerns if any, immediately. Then we will resolve them without delay. We would appreciate another chance. Please contact Carolyn at the Kachina Lodge.
