Thanks to all who replied about the Lodging options in Antonito,
and gave some feedback on the hotel and motel and bed and breakfast.
Have seen the places for years but like others, my train originals and trip plans had me staying in Chama. These replies tell me, the options in Antonito are worth consideration, as I too (used to) be a big Motel 6 fan, because on a train trip... I arrive late, leave early, want a clean room, a clean bed and a hot shower.
Yep, Pot is legal in Colorado, but that is another conversation.
That said, a "non-smoking room" is a must for some and should be requested during reservations.
thanks again!
