Touchstone Inn

The best thing I can say about Touchstone is that it is close to everything in Taos, and the bed was fairly comfortable. It could use a good cleaning, the bottom of our feet collected dirt from the floors. The two flights of stairs to our room were not lighted and hazardous after returning from dinner in the dark. A call to Bren and she said she would have her grandson look into it. The second night was no different...no lights on the stairway. I am sure this was a nice place at one time. Before booking the room, I toured the website and of the reasons for booking the Dora room was to see a mountain view from the deck. The only thing we saw was a yard that needed some attention and trees that needed trimming. I would not reserve a room at Touchstone. It is overpriced.

We instantly fell in love with this charming and cozy, relaxing and romantic Inn. The owner (hi, Bren!) and staff (hey, Joyful!) were so chill and welcoming. We felt right at home. The private balcony was one of many highlights and taking in the view from that balcony was the perfect way to start and close each day. Clean, comfortable, and centrally located. We will absolutely return and wholeheartedly recommend.

We stayed here a year ago and I’ve meant to caution people. My husband had booked this place thinking it would be the highlight of our trip. It was certainly memorable but for all the wrong reasons. The owner will rebut everything I write, but believe the reviews. We thought surely we were in the wrong place when we pulled into the parking lot, which features dumpsters and junk. We were given a room upstairs (broken rickety outdoor stairs, 3 flights, and I had a bad knee) trying to lug my own suitcase all that way. Our key box immediately fell off the wall and we couldn’t get in. Thankfully we found a groundskeeper who was just beginning to start work on the overgrown lawn. Our room was on the back side with a view of some kind of building stuffed with old furniture. There was no AC and it

Sadly the property is very run down and not being managed well. I was given the "Deluxe Queen" room which leaves a lot to be desired. It has poor lighting is over crowded with 50's style decor. Poor wifi (even with an extender outside the room). Tile in bathroom is lifting.Too name only a few issues. The television did not work and they needed several hours to try to repair it. We told them to forget it. Only upside was the comfortable mattress and sheets! Give it a pass.

Worst experience I have ever had & NO Air Conditioning at all, with No windows operating,,,,,, DO NOT GO THERE, DO NOT BOOK HERE AT ALL !! In the summer time this place is as hot as your oven, and she/ Bren does not tell you anything, just to lure you and over charge you for a room that will Sadden and disappoint you to your bone !! On the day of my call for reservation I asked "Bren" the owner what are the charges would be for one night stay ? , Since she does not even include her price in the google map advertising to inform people ! She intentionally did not mention any other charges , only the base charge !! Only after she had already charged my visa, and I was on my way to Taos I noticed there are "Other Fees" equal to another $20.00 extra, and of course plus Tax. The $20 extra w
