El Monte Sagrado

We stayed here for 1 night on a quick trip to Taos. The hotel is very nice, check in was easy. We had a nice room and the staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and the hotel is just a short drive from the centre of town.

Mirth was exceptional! Fantastic deep tissue massage.

Blue and Brooke were fantastic!! Both were friendly, welcoming, and provided the best service. Would definitely recommend dining with them!

Blue and Brooke gave exceptional service and the food was excellent! Definitely a place we would recommend and return to!

Set in a quiet oasis, the grounds at the Sagrado are genuinely beautiful and serene, with plenty of well-maintained outdoor space. The valet staff were courteous and helpful, and check-in and general hotel staff were friendly and professional throughout my stay. Unfortunately, the guest rooms told a very different story. My first room had visible hair and pet food on the floor, damaged walls, and dirty curtains — the room felt neglected and worn. I reported this to the front desk and was moved to a second room, which turned out to have the same issues: scarred furniture, dust along all the baseboards, a stained carpet, an armoire with doors that wouldn't close, and a shower with visible stains. The box spring was torn, the sliding glass door was dirty, and black scuff marks were visible throughout the room. At that point, I decided not to request a third room, as it seemed clear this level of upkeep was consistent across the property rather than an isolated issue. I was genuinely concerned about pests given the state of the room, so I kept my belongings sealed in my suitcase for the duration of my stay rather than unpacking as I normally would. It's particularly disappointing because I stayed about a year after the hotel's major remodel — it's hard to reconcile that with rooms in this condition. The bones of a great hotel are clearly here: the grounds, the location, and the staff are excellent. But the guest rooms are in urgent need of deep cleaning and maintenance, and I'd hesitate to return until that's addressed. There are many more photos to add, including stains on the carpet and dirty light switches. I thought my choice of photos would suffice to show the general condition of the rooms.
