This hotel is great for its location, only a few blocks from the center plaza area of Santa Fe. Nice big parking lot and $10 nightly fee, with friendly staff. The building and room itself has old travel lodge vibes. Nothing fancy but clean. Terrible towels. Average spot, but nice staff.

One of the worst experiences I've had during my many trips i take. I was there for a baby shower for the upcoming birth of my grandson. I checked in on October 3rd and checked out on October 5th. The first night, at about 3 am, it sounded like the room next door decided to rearrange the furniture. Then, the next night, just before midnight, the couple in the room next door woke me from my sleep by their fighting. I finally called to the front desk to ask them to step in (which to thir credit they did), but I was wide awake and couldn't get back to sleep. Then, at 6:15 am the fire alarms went off in each of the rooms with lights flashing. The noise finally stopped but then within 30 seconds everything started all over again. I gave up on sleep and got ready to go. Not an experience I want to go through again!! The staff was very nice but my room was on the 2nd floor and they have no elevators. After having had surgery, I asked for help getting my luggage to my room which they were very agreeable to getting my luggage to the room.

Basically a motel that charges you for parking. I guess the location supports that. Close to SF tourist attractions. Nothing special just a place to sleep. Bedroom was small, bathroom was newer with adequate space.

Large, clean room. Shopping is close by. Some of the staff could benefit from some training in cheerfulness and courtesy. Other staff (both front desk and housekeeping) were wonderful.

Check in was a breeze, and plenty of parking. The parking fee seems like a junk fee given the set up. No parking area near the entrance for secure motorcycle parking. Nice grounds. Flowers are a nice touch. The room is pretty basic.
