The Inn at Halona

Very comfortable bed, great breakfasts, plenty of hot water, great hosts, Greated by a couple of cats. I'd stay thee again were I to visit El Morro or the Ice Caves. Very quiet place just 1/2 hour's drrive from Gallup. Do know though that if you're over 6'2" tall that Room 5 might not be your first choice.

This is apparently the only place that visitors can stay in Zuni. After I booked the room, I was sent clear instructions on how to locate the Inn. But since I didn’t read it, we were a bit confused but eventually found it. Our original room was on the second floor of a two story building. The room was quite spacious but we declined it because I didn’t think we would be able to get our luggage upstairs without a struggle and the building had a very strong smell of cat urine . They have several cats that hang out on the property and apparently visit that building. We took a much smaller room in the one story building. It had a full size bed and was pushed up against the wall, so every time my husband had to go to the bathroom, I had to get up to let him by. It was awkward but we managed. The bathroom was private and clean, although it did have a door that joined another room, but it was locked. There is a main living and dining room plus a full kitchen with coffee maker and fridge/freezer. Breakfast is included and served in the next door restaurant called Halona Plaza Restaurant. There were way too many rugs in the room and bath- we kept tripping over them. We got to choose what we wanted the night before and it was the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The price was very fair.

The room was awesome, staff were so hospitable and generous, breakfast was generous, and just overall fantastic. Highly recommend

We stayed at this place for one night a few days ago, and had a fabulous experience. The room was nicely colorful, clean, and well kept. For breakfast, you fill out a form to select what you will like and when you want to take it. The attention was superb. We greatly recommend it!

A unique place, far better experience than a standard hotel. Staff very helpful and we got street cred for having bear figure pants and the receptionist was from Bear clan. Halona fried chicken 6/5 and breakfast very good. Stayed in room 5. Awesome cabin style room full of Zuni related artwork. Good selection of reading about Zuni and their history.

Would definitely stay here again. Room was small but nice with interesting books and art. Breakfast was ordered the night before and very good-try the blue corn pancakes. Doesn't look fancy at the front but once you get to the back it's an oasis. Hospitality was great, very helpful and enjoyed the conversations very much.

We had a great stay at the Inn at Halona. The check-in process was easy, the room was comfortable, and everyone was friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included and totally worth it! The inn is in the center of the village, and we highly recommend it.

At first glace we thought it was odd but we quickly came to love that oddness. Really interesting lay-out and room decor. All I can say is, it is not your usual business hotel and if "usual" is what you prefer then maybe look elsewhere. But we were quite comfortable here, breakfast was good and staff all very nice. So glad we stayed here

Very comfortable and accommodating. Great to have a full kitchen and living room at Our disposal

Let's talk about this hole in New Mexico. One of the most beautiful holes I was able to fall into. Driving back to Colorado from California (nightmare NYE weekend) we wanted to stop something not cooperate. I saw it on Travelocity and without much looking into, booked it. OH MY GOSH THE FREAKING CUTEST!!! THANK YOU ROGER!! Absolutely beautiful little bed and breakfast I ever got to encounter. My only regret was not checking in sooner (midnight , Sorry R) to take more photos!!! If y'all want a little off the highway exploring and non city relaxation!!! YES PLEASE!! All the Zuni culture around is amazing.

We really loved this Bed and Breakfast! Our innkeeper Roger was so warm and welcoming with a lovely sense of humor. We drove in late and didn't know what to expect, when we came out for our yummy breakfast in the a.m. made to order and thoughtfully served at the time requested, well what a delightful bit of B&B to encounter. We are definitely hoping to return and suggest this stop to those who want the quiet charm within a cultural arena of the Zuni Pueblo and its lovely people.

I had to spend a few weeks working at the Zuni Health Center. I was originally driving back and forth from Gallup until one of the techs mentioned this place. I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised! I felt like home! The food was fabulous, the rooms were warm and comfortable and the staff was super nice. When I was done with my work project I seriously didn't want to leave. Thank you for such a pleasant stay :)

Stayed here 2 nights in room #2. Our stay was amazing! Comfortable bed, satellite tv, ac, water pressure in the shower was great. Towels weren't those super scratchy towels either! I really loved that. Breakfast is served between 7am-9am they give you a menu to choose from and the time that you would like to eat. I had the breakfast burrito and I loved it. My bf had the blue corn pancakes. Those are friggin delicious! You can help yourself to the juices in the fridge when you want. All the staff was super friendly and helpful. We met some great people at the breakfast table and will definitely be staying here again. Sidebar. Halona plaza used to be a grocery store but it's mostly converted into a restaurant now. You can still buy a few sundries and beverages there but the new store for groceries is the halona market place located off of the 53.

A cozy and comfortable small inn near the center of Zuni. Our room, number 5, was downstairs and so it was both quiet and cool. The room is a bit cluttered (I mean, really, what is one to do with a horse saddle?!) but it had all the basics you could want or need. The very low ceilings were a bit bothersome, but after hitting your head on the light fixtures three or four times, hopefully you learn to duck as you move around the room.

This place has bed bugs. Left the place about 6 hours ago and currently at about 25+ count with bug bites.

I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but there were a couple of things that made this a three star experience. The good: We had a check-in that was past their 4-7pm window. I was given the housekeeper's phone number and she hopped over to check us in. She was super cute and friendly. I tipped her a 20 the next day, because I felt so bad that we asked her to come out at 8pm when we got there (we were driving from Arizona and forgot that the time change occurs half the year). It was great that she accommodated us without even batting an eye. The house is decorated adorably, even if it's really tight quarters in spots, and it has a beautiful courtyard that came in handy after we met with Kenny (the incredible Zuni Fire God Shaman/30 year archaeologist/Stanford grad who does tours in conjunction with the Zuni tourism dept.- ABSOLUTELY DO THE VILLAGE TOUR. You get an hour long theology lesson from him, and he is an absolutely brilliant storyteller... Seriously one of the best experiences of my life). It's pretty quiet. We didn't hear a whole lot of commotion in the morning, or at any time of the night. Checkout was great. The women who work next door at the store were SO nice and helpful. She's actually the one who told me about the celebration in the village, and gave us directions. The bad: Breakfast was disjointed and not very good for us. I recognize that breakfast for 7 is a pretty tall order, but stone cold pancakes, fruit that came out 25 mins after the pancakes, and things arriving in random order made for a pretty weird breakfast. Overall, every one of us felt like we could have skipped breakfast. The woman cooking the breakfast was also pretty unfriendly (I didn't catch her name). I asked what her favorite part of Zuni was at one point while trying to figure out what we wanted to do and she literally just said "I don't know" and turned around. Well, that day was a religious celebration in the village. My brother also tried to engage her about the nearby national monument, and she pretty much just shrugged her shoulders and went back to cleaning dishes. We cleared our table for her and put everything in the sink (more than I would do normally at a B&B, but there were 7 of us and I felt bad)... No thank you, no smile, nada. She wasn't mean, she was just not hospitable at all. Children aren't very welcome here from other guests. Not the Inn's fault, but just a heads up. Our family's kiddos aren't real rambunctious, so I'm guessing that was a nice surprise... but we brought them because we wanted them to get the cultural experience and to understand the history of the people who founded the state they live in. The rooms are okay... The bed in room 1 is pretty lumpy, and requires one person to sleep "trapped" by the wall. However, it has it's own bathroom, which was nice. Wall plugs are an interesting situation- I ended up plugging my cellphone into the plug above the sink, because the nearest outlet already had 6 things plugged into it. The room's AC unit worked really well, but woke me up every time it kicked in, as it sounded like someone was opening the door. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well that night. Room 5 (downstairs) had LOTS of bugs. In one night, the family caught two spiders, three crickets, and a couple of mystery bugs. The ceiling is also VERY low, so if you are over 5'10", ask for another room. The TV was malfunctioning at first, so my brother had to reset the satellite signal at one point to get it working. They also complained that their bed was pretty lumpy. My brother and I are both allergic to cats, and didn't find out that there were some (very sweet) property cats until we got there. Both of us started wheezing and itching inside the house. Zyrtec to the rescue!!! But if you are allergic- be forewarned, there are at least 3 cats that roam the property. Over all, this is a 75 a night B&B- we paid 112. I hate saying this, because I LOVED the Zuni pueblo, and the Zuni people are just absolutely wonderful... but this place has a few kinks that needed to be worked out.

Boyfriend and I stayed here in late April - basically to grab some privacy after spending all of our daylight hours in Zuni hanging out with family. The Inn is located directly behind (to the side?) of the Halona Plaza, smack dab in the middle of the village. We made arrangements to stay in Room #4, The Treehouse, which I'm convinced was the best room in the joint (for a couple or a single person). Rates were comparable to "outside" accommodations - about $70/night, taxes included. The place is extremely quaint, with tons of artwork - paintings, carvings (fetishes, furnitures), wall hangings and pottery - in the traditional Zuni style - which is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The host, Roger, is very kind and friendly - and the local ladies who make the breakfasts were extremely nice, as well! The facilities are modern, with satellite TV, wifi, a/c and heating; shower/restroom, kitchen, bedding - all clean and ready to go! Snacks (nuts, crackers, biscuits, fruit) are left out for guests to munch on and a huge array of teas and coffees are there for the sampling. The rooms also have a "trip diary' where you can record your adventures in the B&B or in Zuni - I read through many of the entries and added my own - GREAT IDEA! Breakfast is SCRUMPTIOUS - and is a social event, as various other guests will join you - and the stories abound. You can make reservations via their website - and there are various rooms to chose from. I personally recommend #4 for couples/singles and there was a basement room - I believe it was #2 that was HUGE with room for up to 10 people. FYI: you can get cash, cash checks, buy groceries next door at Halona Plaza. Don't be fooled though, that fried chicken everyone is raving about is NOT THAT GREAT.

Amazing bed and breakfast in the Zuni pueblo. The hosts are ridiculously nice, and the accomodations are the most comfortable I've ever stayed in. Rates are more than reasonable.

Quaint Inn located in the heart of the Zuni Pueblo. The inn is adjacent to Halona Plaza which seemed similar to my local Ace Hardware with a small grocery store to boot. You actually check in there; while I originally found that a bit confusing as there are no signs, it gave a nice bit of introduction to the pueblo. I only stayed one night in room #1. It was comfortably sized with a private bathroom, was clean and quiet even though on the exterior wall of the house. Breakfast (huevos rancheros) was on time at 7am, exceedingly filling, but definitely not my favorite meal of the trip. However I hear the blue corn pancakes are worth writing home about! Everyone was kind and welcoming and I would recommend this place to others traveling in the area.

Will definitely go back here again! What an AMAZING breakfast! I recommend the Blue Corn Pancakes and the Huevos Rancheros! WOW!!! The staff was beyond helpful and kind. We loved supporting Zuni and can't wait to go back to our charming room with all the Native Zuni art and the books available to read and really immerse yourself in the culture. So thankful for this little slice of heaven!

Amazing blue cornmeal pancakes! Worth going back just to have them again. The Inn is nice & quiet. Nice decor & relaxing sitting area. The bed mattress could have been better but the room itself was nice & everything was clean. Grabbed a bite at the grocery store next door & the salad bar was quite nice. Seems like the only place to stay in Zuni so advanced reservations are suggested.

Stayed here for the Fourth of July for two nights. I highly recommend this place., it was a great spot with very nice owners. Amazing breakfast!

Highly recommended. The place was full of charm, the bed was very comfortable (we stayed in room no. 4), it was quiet and nice, the owner and staff were friendly and fun and the breakfast was great. We will definitely go back here if we travel through again.
