Tarabino Inn

If you don’t like standard hotels, this is a good option. Not sure the new management has all their ducks in a row yet, though, so if you’re picky, I’d keep shopping.

To celebrate a birthday, my 2 adult daughters and I stayed at the Tarabino Inn for a night. It is a Bed and Breakfast Inn. We arrived late and wished we could have spent more time enjoying the house, from the ceilings, woodwork and furnishings to the library and extensive artwork (for sale) from local artists. We stayed in the East and West Gables that are on the top floor with one bathroom, complete with a claw-foot bathtub! The beds were comfortable and the breakfast very good. There are even robes and slippers for those who need them. Everything is pleasant, from the wonderful smelling soap to the unique little nooks within the closets that lead to the gable windows - complete with pillows so one can sit and look out over Trinidad or snuggle up with a good book. We would definitely return for a full weekend or even longer! The area offers the Santa Fe Trail, the Highway of Legends, art galleries, antique stores, and sculpture, all steeped in history. If you want a night life, this is not the place for you but if you like to stay in a comfortable, beautiful bed and breakfast in a small southwestern city, Tarabino Inn is just the right place.

Do not stay anywhere else if your in the Trinidad area! This is the most unique and beautiful experience. Every room is unique and beautifully decorated from the Victorian era. As a guest you get access to dining room, parlor, library and more. Even thought the house was built in the early 1900s, it was clean, neat and had all the modern necessities you need without looking modern at all! We felt like royalty! Easy walking access to the cutest downtown area with plenty of cute shops and restaurants. This would be the perfect place to rent out for a mystery dinner party!

Stayed here a month ago for reunion with long-time friends. For the age of the building it was well-kept, clean, though furniture/drapes showed signs of wear. "Private" bathroom involved going out of a locked door down the hall to our own bath, which was an issue in the middle of the night. Breakfast was worst experience of all the Band Bs we have stayed in: cold already-toasted half bagels, limited cold coffee and creamer, canned fruit, nothing chilled. Yes, the inn has a kitchen, we could smell bacon frying earlier in the morning. Host was very sure of himself and couldn't stop talking about his experiences everywhere. Be aware the steps from the street are steep as r steps to 2nd/3rd level rooms. The "free parking" is on street and not secure. Would not stay here for a Trinidad excursion again.

Charming B & B with many original features. New management has kept up the cleanliness of the previous owners. Bathrooms have clawfoot tub/showers. Generous continental breakfast. In room coffee service. Appreciate the no pets policy. Easy to walk to downtown for dinner.

This place is incredible!!!! Truly a step back in time. We had the garden suite on the first floor. It was very nice. You have your own sun room and private patio. They have street parking and a gavel parking lot!!! The couple who run it are very nice and really keep it up. I highly recommend you staying here.
