Nice Place to stay in Santa Fe

This is a very nice hotel, right in the heart of the Santa Fe historic district. Literally a half block from the oldest church in the U.S., as well as (supposedly) the oldest house. About three blocks from the main plaza, the Loretto chapel is about a block over, etc. Hotel itself is nice, we needed a handicapped accessible room with roll in shower and they delivered. Bath was in fact quite nice, though the room itself was a bit on the small side. I think this is because the hotel was redone/retro fitted at some point, obviously originally an older motel redone. There was a refrigerator but no microwave. There is a pretty good Chinese restaurant attached to the hotel, also handicapped accessible. They charge for parking which is in addition to the cost of the room. Nice pool area which we did not use. Lots of pretty flowers, at least in the summer (August) which is when we stayed here. I would recommend it.

Second time staying here. Property and rooms are clean and comfortable. Less than five minutes walk from the plaza. Bathrooms need fans to pull the humidity out.

Loved the location and price. Room was adequate. This is a motor lodge with sea of pavement. Biggest deficiency: No free breakfast and for-purchase buffet breakfast was unappetizing and skimpy. Had to walk in seach of alternatives.

Overall nice but a few things... They need to clean the carpet in the rooms, they smell. I was there with a friend who had a different room and her room smelled bad too. Also the only electrical outlet is 5' away from the dressing area so for instance, the cord for the blow dryer is too short to see what you are doing while drying your hair. There are NO electrical plugs in the bathroom. It is, however, very convenient to the plaza and parking is good. The fridge in the room worked well but you have to walk to the main office area to get ice. It could be better considering the price.
Outlet far from dressing area
clean but NO electric outlets
window doesn't open for fresh air

There are three things going for this hotel: location, location, and location. It is right next door to the Loretto Chapel, and situated on the southeast corner of the Santa Fe plaza (main center for shopping and events in Santa Fe). The hotel room was spotless and newly renovated. Parking is another attraction - hotel guest vehicle can be parked for $10 (as of summer 2025) up to 3 PM on the check out date. There's a nice Chinese restaurant on site, but we didn't try it. Our only concern was the bathroom door - a barn door that would easily derail when closed (pulled) a bit harder from the inside. If that happens, you're likely trapped in the bathroom as it's nearly impossible to open the door because you can't lift it back on the rails from the inside. This wasn't a problem for us as we were a couple, but point to note for single guests.
