There were two restaurants within a minute walk. A nice deck to sit on, a common area with a pool table. Lots of historic memorabilia. Close to the train station.

Great old hotel
Perfect location. Everything was in walking distance. Fun funky place with a lot of character. Wasn’t a fan of the steps but the deck was great. Nice hot steamy shower and the bed was comfy though could have used a couple more pillows. The breakfast choices were lacking but there’s a great place right across the street.

This is not your steel and plastic holiday inn. It is a step back in time! It is clean, quaint, western inn. Paul, the owner, is a native Antonnian, is very nice, doing whatever he can to make tor stay enjoyable. A nice, small deck area is available. Paul will make a recommendation about restaurants. I would definitely stay there again!!

The Steam Train Hotel is a unique, period hotel which is commiserate with the vibe of Antonito CO. The Four Seasons this is not, but it was clean. All of the fixtures and features of the room worked just fine and security was decent for this small town America location. If you're in town to ride or watch trains, this hotel is a great way to get into the spirit of things.

Decorations are unique and interesting. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast variety was great. Large bathtub was a challenge to get in and out for senior people. Didn't know all rooms required going upstairs with no elevator available.

The room was like a suite and the owners helped with local sites, restaurants and carrying our luggage.
They were organized and placed antques on the hallway making the rooms feel homey.

I always love staying in The Steam Train Hotel when I’m going through Antonito in the San Luis Valley. It’s cute, and the staff are wonderful. It’s a great place to stay if you’re going to ride the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. And the stay includes a continental breakfast with a little bit of everything for everyone. This was my second stay, and I’ll be back!

Funky Place, Not Bad!
The Steam Train is a funky old place--1911 vintage building rooms with old furniture. Our room had a nice bathroom with a great big old claw foot tub. Perfectly fine place to stay on a budget. Their breakfast room has a generous supply of food in general, and a nice pool table. Access is not good if you have mobility problems, as you must climb a steep outdoor stairway to get to the rooms. We (71 yrs old) had no problem. If you aren't looking for luxury and like funky, you will enjou your stay.
