Disappointed Stay Despite Good Location

We recently stayed at the Elkhorn Lodge in Chama, New Mexico, and unfortunately had a less-than-pleasant experience. Upon check-in, we discovered there was no running water in our room. After notifying the front desk, they were able to fix it, but the toilet and tub were left full of sediment and debris. That night, we realized there was no television, even though a wall mount and coax cable were present. Tried to stream some movies but the connection was pretty bad. The heaters didn't work, and while I didn’t report it since it was late, it made for an uncomfortable night (I tried the heaters in the adjacent room thinking we could move but they also didn't work). One of the bathroom washcloths had dried blood on it, and we also ran out of toilet paper, which I retrieved from another open, vacant room. The small space heater our room was broken as well. On the positive side, the beds and pillows were comfortable, and the river access was nice. However, the property looked run-down, and the on-site café was closed due to a staffing issue. Compared to other nearby lodges, the Elkhorn clearly needs some basic upkeep and attention to cleanliness and maintenance. I hope the owners invest in improvements, as the location has real potential.

This is a good place to stay. I was only there overnight and arrived late but the front desk person accommodated me and had my key ready to go. The downside was the ice machine was not working and I needed ice.

The property is perfectly fine for what it is, the cabin was clean and the facilities were adequate for my needs. However my experience during my “check in” leaves me with some concern for the professionalism of the lodge’s staff. I had made it clear that I would be arriving well past closing on the night of my arrival. They said my key and map to my cabin would be in the drop box next to the office door. I arrive close to 3am to find that my key was not in the drop box, the office was dark and there wasn’t a single person around to help with late arrivals, not a night watch or anything. I did eventually get to my cabin but only after finding out the office door was unlocked, and entered the dark office, going behind the desk to retrieve my key and resort map. I find this lack of communication and security, the key not being in the drop box and the office being unlocked after hours respectively, to be rather concerning on behalf of guests. I hope that the owner of the resort has a good talking to the staff that were there that night to hopefully avoid this sort of situation.
