The hotel is great for the location and money!! It is also VERY clean. Not a single bit of dust anywhere! The hotel offers coffee and tea for guest, but it would be nice if they also offered water. We've stayed here several times and never had a bad stay. We will be back!

Comfortable, convenient, quiet and most enjoyable. Location Location Location. This is by far my top choice for moderate-priced accomodations in Santa Fe. I have tried many of the other accomodations in this city, where I often visit overnight, and El Sendero is the best of the lot.
