Great stay in awesome location for very reasonable price for downtown!! Walk an easy block to the plaza area. Nice clean room, comfy bed, good shower, and a large separate vanity area which is a huge plus! No hassle parking. This is not your fancy hotel with a lobby to hang out in, but sleep here and walk there! Will stay again for the value!!

The hotel was beautiful. All of the greenery and flowers were amazing. The lobby was welcoming, and the coffee and tea were appreciated. We were able to book a walking tour with the help of the front desk, which was a really great tour and they provided his help in finding our dinner at the shed, which was amazing. The hotel was clean. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay would definitely like to come back.

The location is hard to beat. Less than a 5 minute walk to the plaza. Short drives to other parts of Santa Fe. The hotel itself is clean, and the grounds are kept up very nicely. Easy checkin and checkout. Good for a solo traveler.

Liked: Amenities
Very good location. Rooms are very basic motel rooms. They charge for parking in an empty parking lot! Their pricing is for location. No amenities or charm beyond a cheap motel. Staff doesn’t treat guests any better than someone paying to park for a day.

The beds were clean and comfortable. The room overall was very clean. The mini-split was quiet and efficient. I didn't like the carpeting; but everything else was fine. The front staff was welcoming and helpful. I was disappointed that it was too rainy to enjoy the pool ; ). The room was quiet. You can't beat the location; had take away pizza just a few feet from the hotel property.
