The room was ok and they got me in early. However the staff in the hotel was horribly rude everywhere. Restaurants. Front desk. I said thank you so many times to never hear a your welcome. Maybe its a southern thing?? I felt the staff was racist to my black cousin and friend. Theykicked me out of a restaurant for having food from the puzzza place and not eating it...

The hotel is gorgeous and the art is amazing however there are minor repairs that should be kept up like missing tiles, scratches on wall and outdoor furniture cushions need repair or replaced. Thank you for a beautiful restful evening -- The Pojoaque Pueblo should be proud of their Gem...
