Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were incredibly dark and not as expected from the pictures, plus a bit overpriced. On the bright side, we enjoyed the retro speaker for some music. The service was sweet and very helpful, even recommending a nearby restaurant. The location, although a bit untidy, was off the main drag which was nice. The dining experience was great with fresh options, but some elements have been replaced with a bar. Overall, the stay had its charms and quirks.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, while a little darker in the courtyard due to the mature landscape, were cozy and had a nice garden view. However, I wished there were more rugs on the floor for added comfort. The lighting could have been better for reading purposes, but it was still manageable. The service was top-notch, reflecting that magnetic New Mexican hospitality that everyone talks about. The staff was friendly and always ready to help, although I did encounter a small issue with the shower head on a Saturday morning. The hotel's location on Cerritos Rd was both convenient and pretty, providing easy access to downtown and other attractions in Santa Fe. Being a bit away from the main road offered a secluded feel while still being close enough to enjoy all the wonders of the city. The dining experience was enjoyable overall, especially the dishes made with local organic products. The facilities were satisfactory, and the pleasant surroundings definitely added to the charm of the hotel.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though they could benefit from a few updates like a privacy curtain and a small fridge. The service was excellent, with friendly staff offering great recommendations and thoughtful touches like a welcome drink. The location was lovely, with beautiful surroundings and easy access to the railroad art gallery area, though a bit far from the historical center. The dining experience, despite fresh pastries from a local bakery, could be improved in terms of punctuality. Overall, a great value for the money with some minor room improvements needed.
The hotel had a charming and enchanting atmosphere overall, but the dirty carpet in the rooms was a letdown. The service was friendly and efficient, and the location, while not very pedestrian-friendly, was perfect for visiting Santa Fe's top sites. The dining options were subpar, with late breakfast service each morning. However, the hotel offered laundry service and a welcome drink to guests.
