Great location, easily walkable to the central square. Plenty of parking for $10/day, a bargain in Santa Fe. Fairly inexpensive room compared to the other nearby options. Carpet in the room was soiled and ready for cleaning or replacement, but otherwise the room was fine and the bed was comfortable. Room was serviced daily but the empty body wash dispenser in the shower was empty our whole stay and not refilled during housekeeping service. But overall, a nice place for the money and we’d stay here again.

This hotel is walking distance from the square! You have to pay for the parking, but that is better than trying to find a parking place downtown. The meters cost a lot! If you can find one, you have to walk farther than you would from this hotel. Lo

This hotel is centrally located in downtown Santa Fe. It is a comfortable walking distance to great restaurants, cafes, art studios, shopping & churches/missions. The hotel itself and room was not fancy but clean, quiet and the beds were comfortable. All hotel staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. There are only 2 levels to this hotel and there is no elevator to the second floor where I stayed. The stairwell and property is well lit and there is plenty of parking spots. Overall, it was a very nice stay

The walls are thin and I could hear my neighbor on the phone for hours. Also, there is no outlet in the bathroom area that reaches a mirror, making it hard to do your hair.
