This was a fun little surprise on our road trip through Pagosa Springs! The bar attached to the hotel is worth a visit whether you stay here or not!!
Neon Mallard Bar. SO COOL!!!
Inclusive ❤️
Interior of the bar
Owners work or worked in the movie biz so the decor was off the charts!

We got texts but it looked like an ai bot that didn't really answer our questions instead of actually help and we never could check in because we couldn't get under the entrance which is only 6' high. Will revise this rating of some kind of remedy with

Absolutely LOVE the vibe of this hotel. The room was super cute, clean and comfortable. The only downside is that my room seemed to be the only one that didn’t have a door with a key code. My room only had a regular doorknob with a key to open it that they placed under the mat for me. Luckily the area felt safe, otherwise I wouldn’t have felt very secure in my room overnight. Other than that one small thing, I loved everything else about this place

Upon arriving, the wifi, which I needed for business reasons, did not have a published password online and had been omitted from the room by housekeeping. I never got a response by text, and the affiliated bar had no idea. Because there was no response, I do not know if they received my communication about a plugged bathroom sink. On the plus side, while the room is dark, it has been meticulously painted and tiled. Furnishings are adequate and nice, but a microwave would be a welcome addition. Don't go unless you plan to be self-sufficient in the case of a problem.

This overpriced property is a waste of time and money. The street construction (not mentioned when I booked prevents walking around the beautiful area. The room itself was spartan and didn't have a TV that worked without a pricey subscription (also not mentioned when I booked my room. I will never be back!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Nightingale motel. It’s a modern cabin vibe, which I loved! The room was super clean and comfortable and the customer service was attentive. There’s a really good restaurant right next to the motel literally just walking out of your room; you have to have one of their burgers they are delicious. There is not much light during the nighttime so just keep that in mind. Def recommend if you want something more affordable than the resort and it is only about 2 mins from the Hot Springs. Nice town for a weekend getaway.

The motel room was great. AC rattled but don't they all? There is no staff. You are texted with a code to your room before check-in. The only food option at the motel was a GREAT bar attached to the property. Super fun, great staff and for food charcuterie only. There is a Mexican restaurant next door. Lots of road construction in front of hotel but wasn't noisy or anything.
