Hello Spring Growing Season in our Courtyard

Just discussing our central courtyard with one of our Guest Service Team members.  The serenity of that courtyard is one of our unique selling positions.  It's about an acre in size, includes our solar heated (seasonal) swimming pool, is covered with a good growth of grass, includes several 100 foot tall spruce evergreen trees, has a number of picnic tables and chairs, even has a "horno" fireplace / BBQ grill area, and is home to our own grandma willow.  The willow is 25 feet around at the base and at least 100 feet tall.  Spring brings out the fresh buds, new growth, beginnings of flowers, etc.

That courtyard is partially why that particular GSA joined Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza.  She claims she's rented a good number of rooms to folks who were simply attracted to the area once they discovered the courtyard.  My comment has always been that I'll sell you a room once I get you in the lobby looking out upon that awesome relaxing confortable courtyard.  We've had other hoteliers stop by for tours and express amazement at the fact we have such a peaceful setting right in the heart of downtown Taos.

Part of our talk today related to a local lady who is about the get married.  She'd heard about the vourtyard and may well rent it to celebrate that day of bliss this summer.  In other words, the courtyard is available for those who need space for a ton of people.  Catering can be arranged with outside vendors.  Added services such as tents, tables, chairs, dance floor, etc. can be organized with vendors.  Rooms can be added to your package.  We'd love to work with you to meet your small meeting needs.

If you're in Taos, stop by and take a look at one of the most relaxing spots in the downtown area.  We'll even offer you a room inspection.  It's our 50 cent tour!

Hotel Linens, Towels, Beds

We've just taken a short trip. The hotel where we're staying has perhaps the worst towels of any trip we've experienced. So bad that we went to the local Walmart and bought towels for the stay.

The reason I'm mentioning that experience is that at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza, you'll love our towels, linens, and beds. According to some of our suppliers, our towels are at least 3 Star or Diamond level. We buy a good quality, fair sized set of towels. Our standards are likely similar to the towels you'd find at a high end of mid range such as Marriott. You won't need to visit a local retailer to find better towels.

Beds are not always top quality in smaller or independent properties. I've heard of folks in this business spending the lowest amount possible for beds. We take the approach that you'll spend as much time in the bed as anywhere else at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza. Hence, we buy good quality relatively firm beds. Then, we top them with 2" memory foam mattress toppers. Then use a quality mattress pad. We triple sheet our beds for cleanliness and Guest comfort. We even use some color coordinated decorater pattern sheets, pillow cases, and comfortors.

Our housekeeping team takes pride in providing Guests with clean, comfortable, professionally done rooms. I hope you'll choose us for your next Taos visit whether for skiing, rafting, sight seeing, visiting family, or business. You'll find our web site at: www.newmex.com/indianhillsinn. We also ask that you book direct to save us both money. 800-444-2346.
