Very pleasant and very close to the Plaza. Remodeling has shortcomings. Shower faucet should be on opposite wall from shower head. No outlet at vanity for hair dryer. Need to ADD. Our provide a secure extension cord or install a wall hair dryer. Of note, restaurant had no yogurt. Very odd.

This hotel is so much cuter than the pictures on the website. The flowers all over the property are beautifully maintained, the pool was really nice, the rooms were clean and the bathrooms were very spacious with extra space to get ready outside of the actual bathroom. Loved it.

Shower

Clean rooms - the only thing that was inconvenient was the shower faucet being on the side where the shower door is sealed. Have to step in the shower to turn on water faucet and water runs cold for a bit. Have to stay in the cold running water while turning water faucet.

Nice spacious room, tons of space. Close to all the historic Santa Fe places (literally feet from the oldest house in the US) and the Sunday markets in all the parks

El Sendero is a beautiful property! The staff was extremely kind and helpful. The restaurant inside was delicious. It's close to historic downtown, so it's within walkin distance to a lot of good food spots and places to visit and shop. I can't wait to visit again.

Comfortable stay in Santa Fe.

Had a very enjoyable experience at this hotel. Close to the main plaza in Santa Fe the hotel provides a quiet room that is clean and comfortable. Off street parking is provided and there is a nice Chinese restaurant attached to the hotel, but is apart from it.

Great Location

The best thing about this hotel was its location, only a block or so from the center of Santa Fe. Even recognizing its central location, it was overly expensive for basically a standard motel room. Cleanliness and staff were great.
