Great location, 10 out of 10. Easy walk to all sites of Santa Fe. Parking was $10 per day. Very clean, old but well kept. Not glamorous, very basic.

A PERFECT location, easy walk to anywhere in Santa Fe historic district. I even sat by the pool in late afternoon. Restaurants and shops are fabulous. Loved Museum Hill and the Church of Guadalupe. Santa Fe IS special. . . so is this hotel!

Outstanding, especially for the price

Great location. Right off the Plaza, so I can walk to anything around there, but not right in the middle of things, so I could exit the tourists when I want to. The room was very clean with plenty of space in the bathroom and in another counter outside, so others could be getting ready as I was showering. The bed was more firm, which I prefer the sheets and. Wedding were very soft. Even the towels were soft. So many times hotel towels are kind of crunchy. Lots of parking, with tehthe vehicles in view of the room.

Great property. Easily walkable into Santa Fe old town center. Room clean and has fridge. Shower has shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Bar soap and lotion provided. May have to ask for toiletries to be restocked if necessary. Only minor downside was shower doors leaking water into bathroom but once learned not to close the shower door fully and put down a towel it is manageable. Room has coffee pods for a cup. Lobby has coffee, kettle for tea and microwave. Parking convenient and $10.00/ day. I would stay again and recommend.
