Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
El Sendero was great. Based on the location, we thought it would be a little more "up-scale" but it is more of a motel style set-up, with entry from the room directly to the outside. However, the rooms are recently updated and very comfortable. The cost was great, and the location is unbelievably good, right in the heart of Santa Fe. I'm glad we found it and we enjoyed it!
