There is no way that this hotel got the reviews that did that were not paid for. The outside of the hotel is cute and well kept, the inside of the rooms are abysmal. Everything is static from the 1970s. The rooms are uneven you have to walk uphill to go to the bathroom. The bed is on a metal frame that flexes and sounds like a drum. The horrible part is that it was just ever so slightly cheaper than a regular hotel.

I’ve stayed her three times over TJ last five years and will stay here again. My only concern was the air conditioner, which was way too loud to use. I’d turn it on for a bit to cool off the room then turn it off again. Excellent location for maneuvering around Santa Fe. Very nice people and always feel safe.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The property appeared freshly painted and crisp. Parking was clear and easy to access but there appeared to be more than one vehicle per room and it filled up fast. It may be necessary to have a special place to park vehicles with trailers. Perhaps the lot to the south. Inside the room it was rather dark with a perfumed smell. The room (12) was rather cramped but could be decluttered. It would be a good idea to remove the old tv platform and mount the flat panel tv to the wall. That would free up space and eliminate the bumping hazard. Removing the credenza and putting the desk and chair near the window would offer a lot more space. Building a cabinet for the mini fridge and microwave would provide space for the coffee station on top freeing up more space. The mattress may need to be flipped and could use a down mattress pad. It was firm but the coils were noticeable and the metal blocking off the underside bowed and sounded with movement. There is a nice cafe to the south but be careful walking, the sidewalks are treacherous. The property is easy to access from the south but it is necessary to turn around if coming from the north. The median does not allow direct access.

The motel was conveniently located near all of the attractions and things we had planned to do. It was also very clean, and the roses were absolutely beautiful. The motel was immaculately kept inside and out the service was friendly and helpful.

Charming former motor court motel. Clean and well maintained. Could have used tissues and a hair dryer (for my wife) in the room. Otherwise a solid place to stay for the value.

Charming older "motor motels" like this are hard to find. Anyone nostalgic on old route 66 may know if people detoured down to santa fe after the reroute Cerrillos Road was where you went. I would have liked it then, but I liked it now and thought it was cool and charming. I got there at night and really saw the colors the next morning. Inside is like most of these I have found and some things inside were older... However everything worked and it was very clean!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Pictures on the web did not show the room I stayed in, the room I was in was horrible. The room was extremely small, almost closet like and needed to be gutted, walls, floor, ceiling, doors, door ways all needed to be gutted and redone. TV stuck out from the wall in front of entrance to bathroom. All furniture and bed very very old. I chose this hotel because it was vintage and the pictures on the web showed it to be somewhat nice. I would recommend not staying unless you see the room you will be staying in first. Also, the rates should be cheaper since there is no pool, breakfast, or snack shop.

Although the staff was very kind and helpful, our room was very inconvenient. The lighting is very poor throughout the room and bath. The room was small and cramped and no electrical outlet in the bathroom. Too expensive. We had trouble with charging our phones. The tv was in an unsafe position-my husband bumped his head on it. I loved the landscaping and exterior decoration.

Older, but relatively clean hotel.

Had to be buzzed in lobby door and then reception is still behind glass partition. Leaves one wondering about how safe hotel is. Room was clean and shower had plenty of pressure. Bed was comfortable, but other furniture was outdated and not that useful. Good location on Cerillos Road and close to Pantry Restaurant. AC unit was effective but noisy. Overall the hotel is very dated but clean.
