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.

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 Bed was comfortable, but other furniture was outdated and not that useful.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.

Cozy, clean and friendly motel located conveniently on the Santa Fe main drag. Like stepping back in time with a cool neon sign and vintage Southwestern charm with no hipster nonsense. Management accommodated our slightly late arrival with no worries.

Would stay again!

This motel is an older motor court type property that has been updated. Everything was very clean and the motel was quiet. I loved the wood planks and beams on the interior doors and ceilings, as well as the decorated tiles at the base of the window. A bonus was that the motel is very close to The Pantry, our favorite Santa Fe restaurant. My recommendations for the owners would be to add blackout shades behind the curtains, and add extra hooks/towel racks in the bathroom. Modern lamps with USB ports and plug outlets would also be a plus. Thank you for a nice overnight stay! We would stay here again.

Nostalgic, as old motor motels once were, but a bit more updating I would appreciate, for bringing on the charm. Just three things I'd fix if I were the owner: Replace the two framed pictures in which the images had faded out to nothing, with fresh vibrant NM colored themes! Tuck in the wiring that was coming detached along the ceiling and refresh the paint there, too. Because the room is so small (I was in #12) dark colors made it feel smaller. Change maroon to beige? Dark carpet also feels like it could be dirty, so a lighter color for it, too! Can't fix this: It is right on Cerillos, so quite loud traffic but my earplugs mostly made the night a quiet one.
