We stopped in for my husband to find a bolo tie for a special event. They had a great selection and reasonable prices for the workmanship of pieces in the shop. The owner was very helpful. I highly recommend stopping in!

Khalil (Kelly) is so helpful and professional! He went out of his way to help me find replacements when I lost one of my favorite earrings. He’s always so kind to me and my friends each time I’ve stopped in. Highly recommend and I’ll certainly be back.

Terrific location and a reasonable price. Walking distance to the Plaza. And a delicious and substantial breakfast!

Pleasantly surprised. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Love the balcony. Great value. Great location. Great service. Probably the best hotel breakfast we've had, and we've had a lot. Love the chocolate chip cookies. The only downside is that the hot tub wasn't working, but no biggie. Just a great experience. Missing the extras already. Our hotel in Ouray, Colorado, doesn't have a great breakfast or chocolate chip cookies. Highly recommended.

The man that either owns or was operating this store on 11/24/2023 is a disgusting human being. My partner and I walked into the store without being acknowledged for at least the first 5 mins, because the man was preoccupied with other customers looking at rings. The main reason I came to the store was to find a native ring to match a bracelet I bought in Taos a year ago.As we were waiting for him to come back to the ring area and pull more out, since another tray was already pulled out that the other couple was looking at, I browsed that one with them and passed on any of it, because none of the rings were what i was looking for.All four of us continued to stand in this area until the man running the shop came back. He spoke with the other couple for a second, then I asked him to pull another tray out for me to look at. He did, and I tried on a few rings with my partner behind me and the other couple next to me the whole time. I didn’t see any I liked, so I asked if he would pull another tray out instead. He replied saying “are you sure”, which was confusing because I was being questioned for not wanting any in the current tray. I said “yes i’m sure, is there something wrong with that?” he shook his head and said “well I took this out and now there’s one ring missing” implying that the empty spot where a ring was something I took, and not something someone else had purchased. I assured him this spot had been empty the whole time, attempted to empty my pockets, told him all 4 of us were standing there the whole time, that I am not a thief. I was willing to show him every pocket on my body. My partner even said “call the police, she didn’t take anything”. I tried over and over to assure this disgusting man I didn’t steal from him, and he even said “maybe it’s my mistake, but enjoy the ‘free gift’ and just leave”. I told him I would never steal from anyone and again said I didn’t have any ring of his and that he was wrong. He continued to berate me saying “enjoy the free gift” and “leave”. I left, without stealing anything. The sad part is, I was very excited about the selection of rings this store had to match my bracelet, which I hadn’t found yet at any other store i went in today, and likely would have bought one at this store.This man is an atrocious human being, which he put on display in front of 4 customers today. Avoid this store if you can help it, and buy from someone kind who doesn’t accuse people of things they didn’t do, and would never do. I hope he had footage and can look back and feel ashamed for how he treated me.

For the first time in forever we tried a local lodge/motel instead of a hotel chain. I would have to say that the room was clean and quaint. However with the door directly to the outside there was car noise etc. and you can hear people next door talking, watching tv. I would have to say that the free breakfast was better than a lot of the hotel chains. Lots of choices for bread/pastries, eggs, tacos were good. it was a short walk to the Plaza for shopping,eating etc. Overall a decent place to rest your head.

And it continues, flights from Taos to San Diego cancelled until THURSDAY so had to find a quick alternative to get back to Cali on Sunday. Decided to drive my rental from Taos to Albuquerque, and only flight out was at 7:30am. White knuckle drove at 4am from Taos, with day old breakfast sandwiches in tow, and made it to the ABQ airport in time for boarding at 7am. Now on my flight through Austin to Santa Ana, then a bus back from Orange County to San Diego. I have one more biscuit left. Thank goodness for El Pueblo Lodge Breakfast for keeping me going this entire weekend.

This motel is a gem! The most comfortable beds and pillows we had in an 11 day trip. The rooms were big and a/c worked good! Their breakfast is by far, the best we have had at any hotel on our trips. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The woman working the breakfast was amazing! If we ever pass through Taos again, this will be our stop!

Nice and clean. Good price for the area. Stayed there 30 plus years ago on my last trip to Taos. I will stay again

What a great place this is! We came up from Santa Fe for a nice one-night get-away trip and everything about El Pueblo made the visit special. It was clean and the staff was incredibly friendly and even let us check in early, because they said our room was good to go. Even though we could hear people talking on either side of us through the double doors, it was an easy fix: we just flipped the a.c.'s fan switch and had some very nice sound-blocking white noise to sleep by! We also loved how beautiful the grounds were. There was even a little brook that was flowing nicely from all the rain, and we sat in old Adirondack chairs and just closed our eyes and listened. And you probably already know about their breakfast buffet -- hands down, the best in Taos. Seriously, where else can you get make-your-own breakfast burritos and red chile tamales as part of a motel breakfast buffet? My wife and I can't imagine staying anywhere else on our future one-night getaways!

Large selection of authentic native and faux native jewelry, pottery, and accessories. Reasonable prices! Good for a "one stop" shopper.

We spent 2 nights in the El Pueblo Lodge. The lodge is conveniently located within walking distance of the downtown / plaza area and close to the recently-reopened Taos Pueblo. Being within walking distance doesn't, unfortunately, mean the sidewalk is easily passable. During our walk, we had to dodge overgrown plants and other obstacles. This is a pretty basic local place to stay... other than the absolutely fabulous breakfast. Breakfast includes the usual hotel/motel cereals, scrambled eggs and breads, but what makes El Pueblo special are the regional treats like tamales and wonderful (but not overly spicy) burritos. There are chips and salsa and chocolate chip cookies available in the afternoons. And when the office is open, the great coffee machine is available, as are hot water and tea. The 1st floor room we stayed in faced the pool. Inside, there were few outlets to charge devices but we managed just fine. There was a fridge but no microwave. There was a small table and chairs out front to lounge in on cool evenings. There are no elevators so if you have a 2nd floor room be prepared for stairs. We understand that there are also much bigger / better rooms available than ours was. Taos is a very expensive place to stay, and El Pueblo is no exception, but the financial bite can be reduced somewhat with their excellent breakfast... and by using an on-site charcoal grill.

Close to town but quiet location. Best breakfast at any hotel, ever. So you must stay for multiple nights because it changes slightly but you'd be happy having the biscuits and gravy for a week straight. Walking distance to downtown, but with a pool, grill, and the burger place across the street - you won't need to leave. I spent the most time at this hotel then I have during any vacation, not that's there isn't much to see in the area-I was just comfortable relaxing here

We stayed one night while visiting a friend. I was attracted to the vintage look and quaint New Mexico style. Our room was comfy, mattress was a traditional one and firm (not hard) like I prefer. One issue I found was that the bed covering was for a sub zero climate and being that this was July, completely out of season for comfort. Luckily I have encountered this a lot in hotels and I bring my own light blanket. Breakfast was very good, a very nice variety including some southwest favorites. I did find the scrambled eggs quite dry but The tamale and beans were tasty.
