Pretty Hotel Close to Downtown

Nice hotel close to all the shops and restaurants Santa Fe has to offer. The room was a bit tight for 3 adults and we wished there was a tv in the king bedroom. The outside of the hotel was so cute with flowers planted in window boxes around all the railings!

The property is perfectly located, clean, and with a cute pool. Rooms newly painted. My only issue was the air conditioner. It didn't work properly and way too small for the suite square footage. There's no circulation, fan, vent, or air flow in the bedroom. Couldn't sleep.

The location is excellent, and it's relatively inexpensive for Santa Fe. The rooms are....minimalist. No outlet in the bathroom!! Very, very dark. One uncomfortable desk chair. USB ports next to the bed didn't work. De-activated our key cards the day before we checked out!

Good location for exploring Santa Fe and is only a short walk from the central Plaza. Parking is ample but not free. We stayed 1 night as we were passing through so it was ideal for us. Has a nice pool but we didn’t get chance to use it.

I’ve stayed at El Sendero several times since discovering the property during 2020. Service has always been great. The recent room upgrades have been terrific. Beds are comfortable and staff is very friendly. It’s my favorite place to stay to be near the Santa Fe Plaza.
