For what it is, it’s perfect. My only issue was the water didn’t get very hot in the mornings. Other than that, it has big rooms, comfortable beds and sheets, and a great location to downtown Sante Fe. Enjoy! And tell them to insulate their water pipes. LOL

The hotel is steps from the Plaza and all of the museums, churches and restaurants. The bathroom was arranged so that two of us could get ready at the same time without bumping into each other and the lighting was great for a makeup mirror. The beds were super comfortable and the sheets were sooo soft and nice. The parking was easy and plentiful. Well set up for handicapped guests with an accessible pool! Overall a great experience, I'd stay there again.

The location was great. Easy walk to downtown Santa Fe. Hotel does not have a breakfast but easy walk to get something. The room could use an update but was fine for just one evening. Parking was easy and front desk allowed us to park early as it was not check in time yet but we had arrived and wanted to walk around. This was appreciated very much. Would stay here again.
