Each room is provided
with the finest mattresses and linens, and brightly enhanced with Zuni and southwestern
art, with fine touches of European decor. Work of art from Zuni painters and ceramists
adorn the Inn, along with furniture from the famed Zuni Furniture & Woodworks
Enterprise. All rooms have telephones - networked via our PBX system at
our company's nearby main office at Halona Plaza
- and feature individually controlled gas heaters or blown air furnace with
supplementary, personal heaters is certain areas. Cooling
during the few hot Zuni summer days is provided by modular evaporative coolers or fans
(floor or ceiling), as well as refrigerated air conditioners in certain areas. The entire Inn is equipped with a thorough Culligan water processing
system and a lodging-industry graded, remotely monitored fire/smoke alarm system
which meets the very specific criteria with respect to certain fire protection
systems as implemented by FEMA. Each
room includes a hand-picked selection of books and guides, complemented by the large
number of books and brochures about Zuni, displayed in the common areas/lounges/dining
rooms.
Question? QUESTION?...
"What about the ROOM NUMBERS: 1,2,3,4,5, and then 21,22,23??":
'glad you
asked!
Up not so long ago (right about until the Inn at Halona opened for business!) parties
& assorted festive gatherings used to be held periodically all over the
Inn's current premises, usually centered upon Holidays - for example, "Beggar's Banquets"
were organized
by your current Innkeepers and their friends and meant to gather people marooned in Zuni on
such occasions as Thanksgivings or Christmas. Good times were always had, with
plenty of game playing, by such motley assortments of guests. More
specific themes drove other such gatherings - for example, the famous "David Byrne Is Alive And Well" party held some
years ago here, complete with audio-visual techno enhancements! And, of
course, many Birthday
Celebrations were held for noted community individuals. Overnighting guests or family members would
eventually cheerfully dispatched to fictitiously "numbered" rooms... such as #21, 22,
23, so as to again indicate that it was not uncommon for these premises to be considered
as... a lodge! Moreover, "Murder Mystery" parties have been
held here quite frequently and have been both successful and intense: in fact, Guests are
hereby invited (by husband Roger!) to inquire upon Innkeeper Elaine Thomas about her
(in)famous, momentous - and well attended - 50th Birthday Party!
Oh! Another detail about Rooms 21,22,23: their distinctive alarm clocks were selected to
awaken guests gently, rather than to the sounds of standard, shrill buzzes... They
turned out to be a source of numerous puns regarding their assortments of "theme
sounds". Recent Guests of Room 23, Mr. Robert Tree Cody (Son of well knows Iron Eyes
Cody) & his family, provided us with one of the best such anecdotes; its goes thus (as
related by Mrs. Marlene Cody):
Early Summer Morning in Room 23: - "Alarm Rings"
Marlene - suddenly awakened - to Robert: "What's that sound?"
Mr. Cody (still sleepy, answers after a moment): "It's the village!..."
Marlene (later, after "investigating" for a few moments): "No it's not,
that rooster sound comes from... the ALARM CLOCK!"
Speaking of SOUNDS... The Zuni Dogs... We
shall explain you upon your arrival at the Inn...
Currently, the Inn At
Halona's Innkeepers & Hosting Staff are busy running the establishment in a such a way
as to offer gracious, attentive and friendly hosting in a well appointed and immaculate facility.
BUT, plans are being made to bring back the illustrious background of these premises
in social gatherings and celebrations, and to offer at some time in the future "Murder
Mystery Packages" ( to take place typically over weekends) to Guests willing to
participate in such events with talent, gusto and full costuming! Stay
tuned!
