Sangre de Cristo Mountains hotel rooms a the Independent

"A great hotel in Taos area. Nicely groomed property, rooms with balcony, clean, friendly staff. Greater with homemade cookies. Breakfast buffet was so good - lots of variety and New Mexican fare included tamales, burritos, pintos, chili. We will definitely stay here again!"

"As always the room was clean and the view from the patio was unbelievable. We loved sitting on the patio and watching the goldfish and listening to the stream. This is the 4 time we have stayed here and have always enjoyed it very much. To us Taos is a special place and El Monte has made it even more special. "

"The hotel, the environs and the room were great. Outsid there are fireplaces to use and hammocks to enjoy the beautiful area at night if you're interested."

"Very cool property. Very close to the concert venue at Kit Carson Park. Staff is great!! Room was clean!! Pet Friendly. Great restaurant and bar. Cool Vibes!!"

"Very nicely appointed Spanish style room"

"Right on the base of ski valley. Great clean hit tub area. "

"Room was clean and comfortable. AC/heat great. Bathroom updated and nice. Owners very responsive. All done through phone call and text. Easy and flexible checkin and out, no waiting in line at a desk and meeting office hours. Cafe is quaint and provides great coffee. Can order meals ahead to be served. Only had time for morning coffee but it was hot, ready as advertised and delicious. Grounds safe and beautiful."

"Adam at the front desk has been exceptional. Our TV wasn’t working and he came right up and fixed it for us. We have been very pleased!"

"We stayed in a room in back with an amazing view of the water. They have a beautiful deck closer amd plenty of BBQ's. My only complaint is that people were talking loudly outside pretty late, but ill let them have it, since its an environment that really fosters conversation between strangers "
