Not worth it for skiing
The room was okay and clean, however, the amenitites were very lacking. I wanted to spend some time at the hottub after a long day of skiing. However, the water was not hot at all and at a low level, and not always open all the time. When I asked the front desk to help get the water to be up to a suitable level and heated, they said they will send someone over to look at it. But noone shows up, so I ask again after 20 minutes, and they said they sent someone over to look at it. Again, nothing changes and I ask again, then slowly some cold water comes up from the bottom.
For the aggravation and time wasted, I could have stayed a bit more modern hotel with a working hottub for the same amount and a clean room. I do not recommend staying there if you are skiing.
Not all we expected but have had worse
Overall, the room rate was good= $55 a night on their website(internet rate), comfortable and good sized rooms, free continental breakfast, clean.
But a couple of problems that annoyed the heck out of us: That hot tub that they are sooo proud of is somewhat like the the last reviewer described with the exception that it is bigger than they described; but the water level was low, and the water was not hot by any means. Example, I have a hot tub at my home, and by law it cannot be above 104 degrees, which is very, very hot! When complained to, they said they are taking care of it and it will be piping hot in 20 mins., well it did raise the water level and the water got warmer, but I will honestly say you could get your bath water hotter than their hot tub! The huge pool was nice, but it was very very cold, I thought they could of heated either the room better or maybe the water, but I didn't gripe cause the kids were switching back and forth from the bath water hot tub to the pool and seemed happy. Anyway, I asked upon checkout for use of their internet by a manager or someone behind the desk to print me a map or help me utilize their internet for mapping directions; well they said at check-in that wouldn't be a problem at all, come any time and they would print that right up for me, but at crunch time(check out) they said no one had permission to use their internet, only the head manager, which I new was crap and he happened to not be anywhere around. That is all my gripes. Good, clean rooms, otherwise nice staff, sorry hot tub, big pool, nice little breakfast, neat little bar, no internet if you don't have laptop, etc, etc. You get what you pay for I guess... I was told while skiing, that for budget travelers like myself, try the Hampton next time???
Very Disappointed
Our main goal in visiting Taos was to go skiing, and after a long day of being on the slopes, what could be better than hitting the hot tub and soothing your muscles? It's a hypothetical question, because their "hot tub" was more of a half-full tepid tub. We read raves about this place having the best hot tub in the area, and when we finally got there, it was barely big enough to fit the four of us. Not that big of a deal, except that the water level was less than half, and it never rose above a lukewarm temperature.
When we told the staff, they assured us it would just take about 15 minutes to raise the water level and the heat. The only thing that happened was a slight increase in freezing cold water on an evening that was around 25 degrees.
Six times over two days we brought this up to the staff, who half the time were sitting at the bar, and six times they told us to just wait a little while and everything would be taken care of. It never was...
I will say that the rooms were of sufficient size, and the beds were sleepable, however there was also a very strange smell coming from the room that was never found. The apathy of the staff and the greatly exaggerated claims about the hot tub made our stay quite unremarkable. I would recommend just about anywhere else. The skiing was great, though!
Highly recommended
When I arrived, there was a bit of a delay in locating my reservation. Not to worry, I was upgraded to a suite. Although I didn't use the fireplace, it was nice to know it was included, along with a small fridge and coffee maker.
The suite was more than enough room for my 2-night stay. The hotel is arranged in small sections with courtyards, and my upstairs suite was quiet and pleasant. A large group of kids with an athletic team (playing in some sort of tournament, I guess) were staying there too, and I was not disturbed at all by any extraneous noise as you might fear.
Although not in the "downtown" area of Taos, this is a great place to relax and chill out.
Don't Stay Here
Very outdated, unkempt, with apathetic staff. The reservationist at Fechin Inn recommends this place probably because her boyfriend works there. But you'd be so much better off staying somewhere else for what they charge you to stay here.
Friendly and perfectly adequate
I visited during Thanksgiving 2004 with my husband and 1-year-old. It's not fancy; it's your slightly-above-average-Holiday-Inn-type of place. The rooms were clean and well-kept, and the front desk was very helpful with cribs, etc. The indoor pool was very nice on this freezing weekend. The hotel's only drawback is that it isn't in walking distance of anything interesting, unless you consider Wal-Mart to be interesting (it's across the street). Surprisingly, the bar was hopping - there was live music throughout the weekend.
Great family hotel
Stayed here at the end of March for a hockey tournament.
Had king suite -- lots of room for adults and kids -- great pool area for communal dining and entertainment!
Good location awaay from downtown plaza, June 7-9, 2004
It's no longer part of holiday inn, and quite worn, but suites are nice with fireplaces, refrig in room, just ask to be upgraded. Pool in outdoors. Near movie theater, across the street. and other restaurants nearby, but about 15 min drive to where tourist areas are... we got the best rate by checking on orbitz, then calling hotel direct, they matched orbitz.
Great value in Taos
My wife and I visit Taos every ski season and typically stay at a local bed and breakfast, but decided to hit Don Fernando this last time. The place is very affordable and accomodating for the price. If you are looking for an affordable hotel in the town of Taos then this is your answer. Drive up rooms are nice to lug skis in and out also.
Taos Skier
We stayed here for a few nights to do some skiing at Taos. It's a clean place with a home-spun atmosphere as opposed to the usual Holiday Inn business traveler feel. I can't speak about the restaurants evening fare but for breakfast it was more than adequate. It has a small bar that's kind of fun for happy hour, most locals. The rooms are clean, fresh, and not terribly tacky (but this is not 4-star). I will stay here again.

BOSTON May 21 Silent Circle, a company that sells mobile phones and apps designed to thwart government surveillance, said on Wednesday it has raised $30 million in financing in a round led by Ross Perot Jr. and private investment fund Cain Capital LLC.
The company sells apps for Apple Inc's iOS and devices using Google Inc's Android operating systems that encrypt phone calls and texts. It also offers secure video conferencing for machines running Microsoft Corp's Windows software.
In February it launched "Blackphone," a mobile phone loaded with a customized version of the Android operating system known as PrivateOS and loaded with a suite of security and privacy apps.
The company also said on Wednesday that it added Perot and Sir Peter Bonfield, the former chief executive and chairman of British Telecom, to its advisory board. It named former Dell executive Anurag Jain as vice chairman of the board.
Silent Circle was founded by former Navy SEAL and security expert Mike Janke, Internet encryption expert Phil Zimmermann and Jon Callas, creator of Apple's whole disk encryption system. (Reporting by Jim Finkle; Editing by Eric Walsh)

Colima fans and players should have known it wasn't their day early in the first half of Sunday's Liga Mexicana championship game against Abasolo.
After only five minutes of play, a taco truck drove onto the field, interrupting a Colima scoring chance and forcing the referee to stop the game.
That moment of confusion may have been the turning point of the match because from that point on, Abasolo "abasolutely" dominated, and successfully defended their league title by a score of 6-2.
Victor Rodriguez, Rene Gutierrez and Rolando Morales each scored two goals as Abasolo controlled the tempo -- and the ball -- for the entire match. Jose Antonio Hernandez and Alberto Perez contributed two assists apiece, and dominated the midfield throughout.
Abasolo's defense played both physically and consistently, not allowing the high-powered Colima offense to find a groove. They kept Colima's star striker Ramiro Infante in check and didn't permit many scoring chances in either half, surrendering only a penalty kick and an own goal.
Morales scored Abasolo's first goal just ten minutes into the match, after Hernandez sent a long ball from the left touchline into traffic. The ball was deflected to Morales, who headed the ball over the Colima goalkeeper's outstretched arms to make the score 1-0.
Later in the half, Rodriguez stole the ball in his own half of the field and dribbled through a throng of defenders before tatooing a drive into the lower left corner.
Morales struck again just before halftime after a scramble inside the box. An Abasolo defender played the ball from midfield to Perez, who controlled the ball with his chest and sent a bullet toward the keeper. He deflected the ball back to Perez, who hit another drive -- this one off the crossbar -- but it went right to Morales, who finished the play with a header to make it 3-0.
Colima appeared to wake up early in the second half, and they had more scoring opportunities in the first ten minutes than in the entire first half. They finally got on the board at the 15-minute mark when Victor Del Real converted a penalty kick to make the score 3-1.
Colima's passing improved as the half went on, and had numerous chances after the penalty kick. One golden chance unfolded when Infante retrieved the ball about 40 yards from goal and chipped the ball far post to Victor Ortega, who sent the ball just over the bar.
Minutes later, Del Real had a breakaway, but he touched the ball too far in front of him and never got off a shot. Del Real continued to threaten deep in the Abasolo zone, sending a soft cross along the goal line that Infante one-timed past the keeper, but wound up going wide.
The momentum shift didn't last long, however. Abasolo regained control of the midfield and put the game away on two consecutive scores with 15 minutes to play. On the first, Perez chipped the ball over the defense to Gutierrez, who dribbled around the goalie and scored to make it 4-1.
Then, just two minutes later, Colima defender Sergio Osorio misplayed a long ball and Gutierrez pounced on it, sending the ball underneath the goalie for a score of 5-1.
Colima later scored on an own goal by the Abasolo defense, but Abasolo stretched the advantage back to four goals almost immediately when Rodriguez fired a bullet past the diving Colima keeper into the upper right corner -- an appropriate exclamation point for Abasolo's performance on Sunday, and the perfect culmination to their season.

Studied graphic design in the American College London, (The American University), Rana attended various courses and workshops in the US and Europe to further perfect her creative skills. Amongst her array of creative expertise, Rana counts painting, graphic design, Islamic drawing, Venetian glass blowing and flower arranging as favored indulgences; incorporating the design influence she acquired from these art forms into her leather bag designs.
Rajadano aspires to capture the essence of cultural nostalgia and ethnic beauty and make this accessible to the everyday fashionista. Rajadano is not only an example of striking design mastery, but indeed a stark symbol of exclusivity. Inspiration for the 'Rajadano Agate' collection surfaced from grouping the tradition, mysticism and ethnic heritage of Saudi Arabia resulting in intricately detailed designs using traditional materials and beading to produce a genuinely unique pattern, with adornments of handcrafted leather embroidery and Agate semi-precious stones.
The 'Rajadano Agate' collection comprises of four different styles. An assortment from evening clutches to everyday shoulder bags, and in keeping with the Agate inspiration, the collection combines metallic leather with earthy tones and comes in three shades of brown, metallic colours of gold, silver and bronze alongside the classic black and white leather pieces. Embroidered with various Islamic patterns in silver and gold coloured thread, festooned with an array of differently coloured Agate stone, each Rajadano creation depicts an inimitable facet of style personality; a perfect embodiment of cultural enchantment. Rajadano is a middle eastern brand the handbags are manufactured in Lebanon and stitched and designed in Saudi arabia and is based is Vancouver, Canada.
The Rajadano "O Collection " is an array of brightly-colored ostrich skin leather clutch bags in two styles aspired from the arabian night mystic colors like Flame red , African violet , Mango , Crystal blue and more …Embroidered with islamic design patterns in silver color and gold color threads ….delicate, luxuries but bursting with refreshing colors…..

Made this dish last night for my family and they really liked it. It's a keeper! I added some shredded cheese on top of the meat mixture and also some garlic powder with the salt and pepper. Yummy!!
This is comfort food at it's comfyest! I really enjoyed this much more than I thought I would when I first decided to make it. The simplicity of it as well as the inexpensiveness of it make it a good meal for family. I will definitely add this to my regular recipes that I make often. By the way, I used the cream of mushroom soup that has roasted garlic in it.
Very good. Instead of onions and celery, I browned my meat in onion soup mix. I also added chedder cheese.

As we come into the wake of a new year some of us may seek to reflect, some of us to forget.
But how many of us actually think about death? It's finality, it beauty, it possibilities?
Before you go running for the hills there's something really beautiful about this topic I would like to share with you. In Tibetan Buddhism it's considered to be a sacred time for it is a point where achieving enlightenment is possible.
So rather that the consideration of death be a remorseful act, it is a wholly positive one.
Could there by any better way to experience our final bow?
When my grandmother was dying in the hospital my relatives did everything to avoid her other-worldly gaze. Fear was everywhere. In her eyes, in their hearts, steeped in the ether of that room.
What a sad way to go. She had nine children, gave her whole life to raising them to be left alone when she most needed someone to simply hold her hand and be.
That regret is now my regret but thankfully I am blessed with the opportunity of life to do something about it. For the gift of choice is still in my earthly hands as it is yours. And by that I mean I have a choice to always live by my truth.
If I need something I will ask for it. If I don't like something I will express it. If I long for something I will admit it and work towards it.
Truth serves all for when we're honest with people they naturally trust us more and we them.
What do you choose for yourself for 2013?
We have so much to learn from our elders and this list that I came across of their top five regrets when dying is pure heartdust. Learning from the mistakes of others leaves us with more energy to walk an authentic path.
This list was compiled by a palliative care nurse Bonnie Ware who spent several years working with people in their final 12 weeks of life.
Let's make their laments our greatest treasures as we use them to guide ourselves towards a journey of deeper meaning—down a path that leads us to the wisdom and beauty of our individual and unique hearts.
And celebrate, dear ones. Celebrate your own awakening to greatness, to choice, as the clock chimes this midnight hour to come.
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
