Great spacious suite style rooms. Friendly check in service. Microwave & Keurig provided with a small refrigerator. We wish the toilets were higher & more lighting in the bathroom at night. Also, we wish the room had a little more brighter light. Location is perfect as close to restaurants. Very comfortable beds.

I will second another review.... Staying here felt like stumbling onto a hidden gem that time respectfully paused. The Inn at the Delta is retro in the best way — a lovingly preserved, old-school property with real character. My room had classic New Mexico details like viga ceilings, a kiva / fireplace, and one of the deepest bathtubs I’ve ever soaked in. That bath alone was worth the stay. I never leave reviews but i was in love with our room. It was huge, quiet, secluded, safe and dark enough for sleeping in!! The front desk was accommodating. I visited atleast daily. Whether it was for ice, toiletries, or recommendations, I was greated by a friendly (labradoodle) and staff daily. If you’re traveling through Española i would recommend staying here. There's also amazing Mexican food in the adjoining parking lot at LaFonda (check days and hours).

Staff is very friendly and took the time to walk us in the direction of our room. The room was very spacious, clean, and the fireplace added a nice cozy feel. The shower had AMAZING water pressure and the bathroom had a heating lamp to help keep the room warm. The greenery outside gives a beautiful romantic atmosphere as soon as you step outside. We’ll definitely be staying again when we’re in town!

Wow!! A foyer area nicer than I've ever had in my own home. The building has thick walls. My room, #2 toward the highway end of the line of rooms had a high ceiling with vigas, and authentic burnished plaster walls. Clearly the builder was an artist. The staff were friendly and out of the way when not wanted. The road noise was negligible. I wished for a bit more natural light, it being December. But I bet on hot days those rooms are perfect. There were no overpowering odors of perfume or cleaning products or anything offensive. Yay! The bubble tub actually worked, and had powerful jets, and was CLEAN. The whole room was very clean. The town is a 45 minute or so drive to Santa Fe and about the same time to north of Abiquiu, the land of pastel chalk hills that O'Keefe memorialized. The majestic Rio Grande river runs through Espanola. Don't forget to find the Drive Thru jerky and piñon shop a block or so away. The Inn's nearby restaurant La Fonda something was good too. I had seafood and it was trustworthy. The place has Santa Fe-level ambiance and class for a fraction of the expense. It's very charming.

Very classy charming rustic southwest style inn. The local art collections and beautiful construction are from years of supporting the local community. Beautiful decor, serene space. We were pleased to stay here.

What a wonderful place! Absolutely feels like a hidden gem. A property with a lot of charm. This feels less like a new construction trying to feel like old Pueblo style and more like the authentic real thing. Vintage in the best way. Dirt parking lot feels perfectly appropriate. Main building feels almost like a B&B where you’re in someone’s home with wonderful Native American pottery and decor. The rooms are very large and beautiful. Built-in wood carvings, wood beam ceilings, a gas fireplace, and shower/tub with jets! Romantic and authentic.
