It was a great motel. Seemed clean and new for an older motel. Very close to downtown Santa Fe. Great parking. The 2nd floor walk-up not too bad. Would love to stay again.

The place is very convenient to the Loretto Chapel just a block away and all the sites we want to go. It has the best Chinese restaurant beside it. We keep on coming back to eat. Staffs are friendly. The bathroom is so clean. Staffs are very helpful and friendly. Best of all, it’s quiet that we get a restful sleep every night.
