Amizette Inn and Restaurant

What a ripoff. We wanted to be near Red River. The description said 8 miles. It is more like 35 miles. The room was run down (torn carpet, terrible mattress, worn linens). The manager was the only staff there and he complained about it the entire time he served a mediocre breakfast.

The inn is run by the owners son and wife. They were a bit short staffed that weekend.(The housekeepers didn't come in) The breakfasts were very good. Patrick was very friendly and accommodating (even though he and his wife were doing the extra work.)The Inn is in a very nice setting, we had room 9 and could listen to the Taos river. The inn has a lot of stairs and steps so it is not for ones that can't negotiate stairs. It is an interesting building, probably built in the early days of the ski area. The one thing I missed was coffee and tea and snacks, most B&B's have them out for the afternoon and evening. Only coffee and tea was available in the morning. One improvement would be to have an inviting place to sit and relax and listen to the river on the deck behind the lodge. All and all had a nice getaway.

Hotel is very old and rundown. Setting is beautiful. Hotel does not have a restaurant but is operating more like a bed and breakfast. Staff (all one or two of them) are very helpful. Breakfast is terrific.

Quaint mountain setting, perfect for a true get away.

When we checked in, housekeeping hadn't come in that day, but the hotel manager cleaned the room himself. The building is quite old with a lot of history. Room was decent with a fan in the window (no air conditioning), but that was sufficient. Breakfast is included and was fresh cooked and delicious. Dining room is perched above the Rio Chama with a beautiful picture window looking into the woods. Hotel is about a 5 minute drive from the resort. Overall a good value for staying in Taos Zaki Valley.
