Perfect location for access to the Santa Fe Central Plaza and other sites. Almost next to St. Miguel Chapel, a block from Loretto Chapel. The property is quiet and clean.

We have stayed at El Sendero Inn, El Paso, several times. It always remind us of the old motels along side the highways except it has been modernized inside, clean, quiet, safe, and the staff is always great. Plus, the price is always good, especially considering you are practically right across the street from Plaza. Rick

Right downtown at a reasonable price!
Was a little hesitant given it looked like a remodeled motel from the outside pictures. But I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. It honestly looked much nicer than all but one of the downtown hotels I saw on my trip. Got a double queen room. Not a ton of room, but had nice beds, clean sheets, and hot water, everything I needed. They offer packaged snacks for breakfast, but is about a two minute walk to great breakfast places if that is your thing. Staff was friendly and helpful and there was free coffee and juice 24/7 which was perfect. Don’t feel like you have to spend a fortune to stay downtown, this place was perfect for the price!

Excellent location and price!
What a gem! Based on the price being so much cheaper than other hotels near the Plaza, I wasn't expecting much. However, I was pleasantly surprised! My room was comfortable and nice. The hotel is on the older side of things, so there were a few parts that showed its age, but there's nothing to be done about that. The staff was so friendly and eager to answer my questions, and the location was just perfect. I parked my car on Friday afternoon and didn't move it until my departure on Sunday, since everything was an easy walk away. I'll stay here again on my next Santa Fe visit!

Nice clean room; hotel is in an excellent location. Front desk was friendly and check-in was quick. Ample parking in a sort of interior/courtyard lot. Room was basically standard, but reasonably clean and up to date. Outdoor pool seemed to be closed, but it's too cold to swim in March, in any case. Hotel is within quick walking distance of historic downtown area, restaurants and shops, etc. I would definitely come back.
