Guest Reviews & Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel's location is ideal, right in the heart of everything, with comfortable rooms and exceptional service. The bustling traffic noise was the only drawback to an otherwise fantastic experience.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and had a lovely fireplace that added to the adobe feel. However, the room facing the street and the freezing outside corridor were a bit of a downside. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly sweet and helpful. The location was perfect for exploring the area, with easy access to restaurants, galleries, and shops.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! Despite being above a garbage area, it was much quieter than I expected. The bed was super comfy, and the rooms, though not fancy, were clean and had a decent size with useful amenities like a small refrigerator and coffee maker. The friendly and helpful service really stood out, making great suggestions and ensuring safety measures were in place for guests' well-being. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to all downtown attractions, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience, while a bit crowded, offered great coffee and quality breakfast choices. Overall, a great value for money stay.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! The rooms are beautifully decorated with local art in traditional Santa Fe style, and they were much quieter than I expected. The bed was super comfy, and everything was spotlessly clean. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. The location is perfect for exploring Santa Fe on foot, and the dining options offered a nice selection of filling choices. However, there was some traffic noise to contend with. Overall, a great stay with good value for money.
Staying at this hotel was a true New Mexico experience. The cozy rooms with wood burning kiva fireplaces and NM accents made us feel right at home, and the inclusive breakfast was a huge plus. Being in the heart of town meant easy access to fantastic restaurants and shopping, although the rooms were a bit small and the outside corridors could get chilly at times.
I had a delightful stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated in Southwestern designs, spacious, and quiet, although there was a minor issue with the toilet. The flower boxes filled with blooming flowers added a lovely touch to the ambiance.
