Good location,  price good for a tourist town, friendly owner operator. Room clean and comfortable, decor  was a little dated needed to git rid of the teddy bear framed pictures and the country charm, bed linens were a bit worn and could use an update. Coffee was ready at 5:30AM and the breakfast was OK for the price and place.
Review Source:We stayed here during our trip to Tierra Amarilla to bring my grandma's ashes home to where she was born. Â She was born there and also spent time as a child in Chama. Â It was a really important trip and this inn was a highlight and a wonderful reminder of why my grandmother loved NM so much. Â The owners are wonderful, down to earth and helpful. Family owned and operated with all the touches of home. You don't feel like you are staying in a motel room, you feel like you have been invited to stay with great friends. Â It's welcoming, homelike and a great deal. Â Breakfast was simple, the rooms clean and comfortable and they have fridges and a comfy dining room with a microwave and sitting area. Â Chama itself was so great. We loved it there, my 10 year old son said Chama and this inn was his favorite part of the trip even without a pool and that says a lot coming from him. Â I also had to work during the trip and they had wifi that worked pretty good. It went down once and the owner gave the router a jiggle like he was fixing a car and it went right back up. Â As someone who spends way too much time with tech-geeks he was a refreshing reminder to not take ourselves and our laptop lives too seriously, sometimes a jiggle is all you need to fix something. Â ;-) Â Loved it, plan on coming back and staying at Cumbres Suites for sure.
Review Source:July 2012
Location: set on highway 17, just a bit north of 84. Some rooms face the highway, but most are at the back. There are two buildings. Next door is some kind of business with trucks coming and going into the evening. We stayed on a Friday so don't know if there is truck noise on weekday mornings, no truck noise on saturday. One restaurant is next door. The inn is located about one mile south of downtown. The downtown, however, seems to be on its last leg. The railroad is there and a cafe that looked busy but most storefronts were empty, many were for sale, and the remainder seemed to be little local shops with railroad stuff. Most restaurants are located near the 84 and 17 intersection of town.
Staff: we were greeted by the friendly woman manager or owner, efficiently showed our room and the breakfast room, given advice on restaurants (the best being the high country), and pretty much left alone.
Atmosphere of the grounds and public areas: the hotel is a simple wood structure set back from the road with some public outside seating in back. The breakfast room is open, it seemed, all the time if you wanted to sit in there but when we arrived two little kids were playing basketball inside. Breakfast is like a blast from an unhealthy past. Large selection of packaged chocolate muffins, little Debbie treats, sausage biscuits to be microwaved, sugary cereals. A little kids dream of breakfast. There was also bagels and bread for toast, oj, milk, and bananas and watermelon. Reg coffee was available but no decaf and no hot water for tea though there was some Lipton tea bags set out.
Room: we had a two room suite. One room had three queen beds, two were decent, one was old and less than comfortable. The beds had colorful quilts and incredibly hard and old pillows. There was a tv in the bedroom mounted on the wall but a serious hazard for anyone over 5' 8". Carpet was worn but seemed clean. The front room had a couch, table and chairs and full kitchen supplies stored in very old plywood cabinets. There was a mw and a coffee machine. The bathroom had a tiny shower and no excess sink room.
There is no air conditioning in the downstairs rooms but the windows were open when we arrived and despite the 88 degree temps the room cooled off quickly as the sun set. Curtains in the bedroom did not darken the room. Â And there is no door between the rooms. The front room also had a tv with direct tv. This seemed like the best place in a town of very limited options.
We needed a place to stay midway from point A to point B. Â The closest place turned out to be Chama. Â Tripadvisor gave Cumbres Suites a good review. Â There were a few hotels listed on yelp, but this was the only one with a review. Â Once again yelp didn't let me down.
Keeping in mind that this is a small inn in Chama NM, and not a big city, we got a kick out of some of the quirks. Â When I first tried booking the room, I got an answering machine because the keeper (Terrie) was picking her son up from school. Â However, I got a call back a little later and we reserved a room. Â We said we would be rolling in a little late and she assured us that she'd leave the back porch light on for us and the room would be waiting.
The room we stayed in was in the main house and was wonderful. Â It was as clean and spacious as you would expect from a B&B. Â Along with the comfy beds, it had a small kitchen/sink area and some other furniture to lounge around on. Â It was warm and cozy, felt like staying at a relative's house.
The only downside was there was only a very limited continental breakfast. Â For us this wasn't a big deal as we were in a bit of a hurry to hit the road. Â But don't plan on a big breakfast here.
We would definitely stay here again if we were passing through.
