The location is perfect for walking around Santa Fe without paying resort prices. The property is an old two-story motel. The rooms were clean, comfortable and climate controlled. Parking was reasonably priced and secure. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Was able to check in earlier than designated check-in which was a super pleasant surprise. The room was spacious and clean when we got in. Great location for shops, museums and restaurants. We didn't drive much at all othe than to go to Chimayo and Nambe Trading Post. Would have liked to have extra bar of soap (they were thin and small). Front desk was friendly to deal with. The continental breakfast was decent and not part of hotel stay; just the adjoining dining room of Chinese restaurant. The breakfast was $8.50 per person. We just gave them $20. It was fine...had bacon, eggs and noodles along with sliced wheat bread, muffins or bagels, juice was available as was coffee if you wanted. Had the guy make us waffles the two times we went.
