Although chain hotels usually offer plenty of amenities, they tend to be impersonal - they certainly all seem to purchase carpet from the same place! Your experience at a chain hotel is likely to be forgettable. That's not the case with these independent, New Mexico establishments. Each of these 13 inns has its own personality, style, and charm that will stay fresh in your memory long after you leave.
