"I was a long-time guest. This family owned and operated Inn is great. The hospitality is unsurpassed.

"As a solo traveler my 2 nights in March 2025 could not have been better with a tour of Los Alamos and two adventurous canyon hikes. The owner Matt meet me on arrival and pulled out his compressor to fix my car wheel that was very low on air, then headed out to coach his daughter's Jai-alai. The next morning he and his wife met me in the dining room to say a Wifi cable had been accidently cut in Los Alamos by construction crews so Wifi was out in the whole town all day. Who is prepared to drive without GPS today? Matt found a map so I could drive into town for my tour. The Inn is sweet with a little garden at its entrance, living room to sit and read, library and pool table, dining area with expansive view of the canyon below and 10 minute drive into town; perfect for a couple or family after a busy day exploring. Pueblo Canyon Inn is a real gem."
