Warm reception for two big (75+ pound) dogs!

We just returned from 3 wonderful nights in a Mountain House room with a sliding glass door opening out onto a large lawn. This resort has several kinds of accommodations, including apartment/cabins, and when I called I was told my dogs were welcome in any class of accommodation. The Mountain House is the least expensive room but I chose it for being close to the parking., and for the lawn. The entire hotel staff was wonderful to all of us, especially an old Golden Retriever and a 75 pound Lab mix still full of jumpy puppy energy. The reception area even has a large water bowl. Pet fee was $50 per day which I thought reasonable. In fact, I would say that the staff has excellent training in addition to just being a lovely bunch of people. The room was luxurious and I did not feel I was placed in the second-rate "dog room" as some nicer hotels will do. Hotel is walking distance to the plaza, and to a great coffee shop just down the street. The dog park in Taos is closed indefinitely so I took my dogs on easy hiking trails for off-leash play. Did not eat in the restaurant, but my one room service meal was nothing special (except the green chili sauce which really was better than average). Abundant free coffee and tea, gas fireplace in my room with a big fire out in the yard at night. So glad we stayed here and will be back soon!
