Fodor's Review:

In a bucolic valley at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this 1918 resort is five minutes from the Plaza. Behind the main building is a chapel that was once Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy's retreat. Unfortunately, despite the interesting history, the resort has slipped in quality and service in recent years and could greatly stand an overhaul, especially given the high rates. Outdoor activities include hiking, horseback riding, skeet-shooting, and trapshooting. The two lodge buildings have antique and reproduction Southwestern furnishings—shipping chests, Mexican tinwork, and Native American and Western art; most of the rooms, in the property's other buildings, have less character, though some have fireplaces. The lodge has fitness facilities and is home to the excellent SháNah Spa. The serviceable but overpriced restaurant, specializing in inventive Nuevo Latino fare, serves Sunday brunch.

Just got back from a long weekend with my daughter. Several people told me Bishops Lodge was wonderful! Don't know what year they went but it was awful.... The rooms are stinky and need a real update. I have seen better rooms for a lot less money...MOTEL 6 as an example - not worth the money! Forget the restaurant and the bar. The bartender couldn't work the computer so he was making everyone pay in cash!

Awful, retrofitted 1915-1920 rooms (unless you are willing to pay over $450 per night for a one room suite). Their $200 room would be a $39 room in a third class motel. Terrible food. Surly, inexperienced service staff (when you can find them). Hot water either off or at a minimum. Billing mistakes. Inconvenient parking. This place stinks (literally...our room smelled of mildew and must). Avoid this hotel at your peril. And by all means, do not book far in advance...they might be out of business by the time you arrive. If we weren't there with a wedding group, we would have checked out.
