Overall great stay!
The hotel itself was beautiful, very clean, we were very happy with the size of our room. The only bad thing I can say about Buffalo Thunder is on a Friday night, they had 2 places open to eat, one of which had an hour+ wait time.

The hotel is getting a bit dated. The shower curtain wouldn’t stay in the tub and got water everywhere. The tub was really dated and the sprayer went everywhere. The air conditioner kept turning off and wouldn’t hold the temperate set. It got pretty warm.

There were really no food options available. One dining room was closed for construction (we had no notice), the other was only open for breakfast and lunch (we had nice breakfast), there was no deli as advertised. Starbucks was only open the early part of the day. We were limited to one option of getting food from the Turquoise Trail in the casino. The food was good but we had hoped for more options. My husband has some difficulties with eating so we were counting on being able to get food from the deli and come back to our room. All in all it was fine, we didn't go hungry. It just wasn't what was advertised.

Stayed for 5 nights. Enjoyed the room. Had many issues over the 5 day vacation. From wifi issues, missing amenities, closed spa, hot tub and indoor pool, lack of open restaurants, no working ice machine on our floor, spiders in the room, smell of pot from other rooms, etc. etc. Plus the 60.00 PER PERSON resort fee really didn't offer us anything other than the outdoor pool. Plus the staff seemed uninformed about the wifi issues, the closed pool and hot tub, etc. Again, the room is beautiful; but, ......

This is a potentially fine hotel.. it is very well decorated... but cold in all respects. Not greeted warmly. Most facilities were closed, most restaurants not open. Pool snack not open. Indoor pool and hottub fine as is outdoor... but you cannot even get a drink of water without returning to the hotel which is a disrance. Bed and beddung not comfortable

Nice asthetics , but that’s it
It was obvious this hotel had been around years . The luster of new, had worn off and they no longer cared about their guests . Maid service was spuratic , front desk person was sleeping in back room and we couldn’t get anyone to help forever , pool had trash in it, we never saw it cleaned , restaurants were closed except one that was very expensive. Drink machine didn’t work , no other place to get drinks unless you walked to casino . Casino had zero music - didn’t allow drinking in casino while gambling ( had to drink inside bar area ) and no smoking inside . Aside from all that , the location is so far from Amy town or other restaurants, we only ate one meal a day when we left and drove 20-30 minutes away . It states this is in Santa Fe and it was not .
