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.

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.

Cottonwood Courts is charming, inexpensive and just a simple place to stay when visiting Santa Fe. I hope no one ever buys it, destroys all the character and paints it white, grey, and black.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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 Cottonwood Court motel was a wonderful refuge for me and my little girl. Jackie welcomed us very kindly at reception. The room was secure, quiet, and Immaculate, with a big comfortable bed, and a fridge and microwave - very handy. The old beams at the top of the room are beautiful, and allowed me to explain that feature of old Santa Fe construction. Six stars!

Liked: Cleanliness
I enjoyed the charming New Mexico adobe architecture and viga ceilings, the vintage route 66 vibes. The location is convenient to walk to the popular The Pantry restaurant but on a busy street. I also enjoyed sitting on the porch chairs outside to watch the sunset. The family rooms have two seperate bedrooms which was nice for our family of four. The room was very clean even though it's an older building. We'd stay here again.

Beautiful room and big comfy bed. Rustic exposed log beams. The room had AC but it wasn’t on when we got there so it took a few hours to get cool enough to be there.

A lot of attention to detail on the outside and inside of this Pueblo style building. Comfortable, clean, and friendly. Great value for the price. Motel on a busy main street yet traffic not heard inside. Heater noisy when on but room warmed up quickly.

Rustic room with log ceilings.

It’s very rustic. Has A C window unit. It was difficult to reach and turn on. Room smelled musty. We had to open windows for air circulation. You hear cars driving by. Had no place to hang clothes. we didn’t use closet bc it Smelled. It has limited plugins. We stayed bc price was reasonable but would not return.

The most miserable motel I've ever had to stay at. From the bitter, sadistic old woman at check-in, to the broken heater in the middle of January (which the bitter, sadistic old woman openly tried gaslighting me about, before refusing to do anything about it, not even a room change despite only one other room in the whole motel being occupied), to the lukewarm shower (in a cold bathroom), to the lack of blankets, to everything being slightly grimy to the touch -- everything about this place is miserable.

Would definitely stay again

The motel is not the fanciest but clean and convenient to what we wanted to see in Sante Fe. We had the family room which was exactly what I envisioned - two separate bedrooms with a shared bath in the middle. Each bedroom had its own TV. One room had the coffee pot and the other had the microwave and fridge. The owner was very friendly and helpful and highly recommended a restaurant (The Pantry) within walking distance (2 blocks). This motel was the perfect location if you want to be close to downtown Sante Fe and historical places like the San Miguel Mission and the Loretto Chapel. They were just a 10 minute drive away and parking was pretty easy to find. We were in Sante Fe after staying one night in Bernalillo for the hot air balloon fest. If you don’t like crowds, try the 4th floor parking garage at Sandia Resort for the best view of the balloons each morning.
