Great stay for business or pleasure
We recently attended a wedding in Santa Fe, NM, and being from Pennsylvania, wanted to enjoy a few extra days to take in the sights that the area had to offer. We were traveling with children, and the size of the room (with efficiency) along with the pool and hot tub facilities, helped to make our stay both relaxing and enjoyable. Our room had internet access, which allowed my wife and I to keep up on our business e-mails during our stay. This was a tremendous convenience. I would definitely recommend America's Best Value Inn to anyone visiting Santa Fe.

Short drive from hotel
The hotel is conveniently located just a few short miles outside the heart of Santa Fe. A perfect choice if you want to take in the Shops and restaurants in Santa Fe, or travel just south to the quaint little town of Madrid, along the Turquoise Trail.

Overall a GREAT value!
The Americas Best Value Inn was a indeed a great value-the rooms were well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay: a comfortable bed as well as a couch for relaxing and we even had kitchen facilities with all the extras! The bathroom was large and there was ample space for two people to move in and out while trying to get ready for the day. The property was located near shopping and restaurants, but the breakfast provided at the hotel was excellent with many natural selections not usually offered. Both of us (we had two rooms as we were travelling for business) remarked that we would definitely stay there again.

Best Buy For Your Money
America's Best Value Inn was the best that my money could have gotten me. Less than a 10 minute drive from tourist attractions, 20 minutes from the moutains and the center of several wonderful restaurants, it had the perfect location. The rooms had high ceilings making it seem spacious and the rooms were well lighted. The best part would have to be the ping pong table offered in the recreation room next to the indoor pool and jacuzzi. It was a great place for my family at an amazing price! We had a wonderful stay there.

vERY FRIENDLY STAFF
The staff at this motel were very friendly and helpful. The Free Breakfast was a VALUE ADDED AMENITY, that I was not expecting in a city where the prices are somewhat touristy. I was extremely impressed with the help I got from the desk clerks on getting around town and surrounding area. I would stay there again.

Short drive from hotel
Go downtown from this motel to St Francis Drive to get to I-25 North or South, instead of all the way down Cerris rd.

Hidden jewel
The hotel is definately the very best bang for a buck. They have a great warm pool and hot tub, that warmed our souls up in this cold weather. Our kid loved playing in the water, because of the pleasant temperature. Breakfast features the healthiest food choices. Top notch all the way. The only negative point is the hotel location - if you want to stay in downtown area - this is not the right choise. But with a car, downtown is some 5 minutes away.

Pleasantly surprised !
We were in town for grandson's wrestling tournament. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. Lady at front desk went out of her way to help us with our needs. Grandchildren loved indoor pool and ping-pong. A very nice place to stay for the price.

Close to town, great pool, pretty garden
We enjoyed the Lamplighter very much. It's a great bargain, with lots of amenities. The pool was enclosed in a garden-like setting, there were flowers everywhere, the rooms were large and clean. There were three families -- 10 people -- traveling together, and it was perfect for us. It was also a short drive to all the things we wanted to do. We highly recommend it and wish there were more places like this!

Great experience!
We had a great experience. We stayed in one of the larger rooms with a little kitchen. It was an older room, but everything was clean and in good working order. My children enjoyed the pool and the breakfast was the best 'continental breakfast' I've had at a hotel complete with several healthier options to eat. This truly was a good value. Thanks!
