Santa Fe City Center hotels & places to stay

Sage Inn is a pretty nice motel in a great location, near enough to the Santa Fe Plaza for a pleasant walk (1.3 km), or a cheap UBER (about $5 most of the time). They also have an hourly free shuttle to/from the Plaza. I don't include driving to the Plaza because of the relatively poor parking in the vicinity. Sage Inn's location is also great for Museum hill or other Sante Fe destinations. The rooms are clean, pretty small, nicely decorated. The pool area is quite small, but very pleasant and, having stayed at SI a number of times, have seldom found it crowded. The breakfast at the Sage Inn is nothing to write home about. It is sparse, in a word. Think of it as simple fuel. Plain bagels, bread, muffins, cold and hot cereal, juice, all plain and generic. The coffee is drinkable. The rate at Sage Inn is reasonable, a decent value, but it has risen in the last couple of years.

Wonderful location to all the main down town Santa Fe locations. The Basilica is just short two blocks away. The hotel is also a short walking distance from the Canyon Rd Christmas Eve walk. We did not dine at the Luminaria since is was booked on both days - that means it must have been excellent. Room was nice overall but the HVAC system was loud and the room lost heat pretty quick even though we kept it at 70 degrees. The hotel is showing its age and needs a little bit of TLC to spruce it up. Staff was great. Would still recommend it to family and friends.

Had to be in Santa Fe for business (5/23-24) The town was basically 85% empty, along with the shops and restaurants...closed. Any eateries were only doing take out/ curbside p/u. The hotel is perfectLay located, decent rooms (alittle on the small side) thin walls ..could literally hear conversations from next door / (and they were boring uneventful conversations at that). Overall, would have been a fun business trip if it wasn’t for this draconian government shutdown. N.M governor really did a number on it’s business citizens in Santa Fe , especially shutting down during memorial weekend...big revenue loss.

The Hotel Santa Fe is without a doubt the best value in Santa Fe. And it’s native owned! - Perfectly located a 3 minute drive or 20 minute walk to the Plaza - Close to good restaurants and excellent antique stores - Rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet - Staff is exceedingly friendly and frequently go out of their way for you - Lovely bar/restaurant with tasty food and drinks. And hosts frequent music or cultural events - Nice pool. A few things to be aware of: 1) A surprising $19/day resort fee to cover “amenities” such as free parking, Wi-Fi, pool. Given this is not a true resort with resort amenities, I think this is a bit much. Better to include any truly necessary costs inside the room price. 2) No in room safes. 3) Pool has only 3 umbrellas - 2 of which are attached to dining tables. This is especially a problem mid day when the sun is high and you didn’t get there early enough to snag one. But overall - you get more than you pay for. Highly recommend!!!

This hotel resort sits on top of a hill overlooking the New Mexico Veterans Cemetary, which are beautiful grounds. Views to the east include Santa Fe's Plaza and the mountains beyond. Rooms are large, clean, well furnished. Excellent value. We had a minor issue that Jordan, the resort's manager, fully addressed in a timely manner, for which we were very grateful. His professionalism speaks to the quality of the resort. Would stay here again on my next trip to Santa Fe.

I really like Las Palomas. Have stayed there many times. It’s quite but 3 blocks from the Plaza. All the room face the outside, which in Santa Fe you really don’t want to miss. The staff is very friendly and the made to order breakfast is delicious. They have a free shuttle that will take you many places in town

The St Francis in Santa Fe will become my "go to" hotel if I visit this city again. Location is perfect. The opposite of big and touristy. Authentic flavor, rustic, not too big, homey and comfortable, great rate through Agoda. Staff is friendly and knowledgable, the Secreto bar is a local favorite and very inviting, rooms not large but very clean. Informal (my companion would go down to the bar at night in her pajamas for a glass of wine). This was just my cup of tea.

Our room was wonderful, and the free shuttle was the cherry on top! We didn’t even need to rent a car which saved us money. The shuttle runs from 10am-10pm. The staff was very accommodating and eager to please. They have dvds to borrow if you want to chill at the resort. The pool was refreshing and the hot tub was hot. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bedroom had blackout curtains, so we slept in as long as we wanted to. The only con was that the elevator was being worked on while we were there, but our room was on the first floor so it didn’t affect us. I highly recommend staying at Villas de Santa Fe by Diamond Resorts!

Absolutely lovely! Decor fits the Santa Fe esthetic without looking cheesy. It’s warm and inviting, rich woods with gorgeous tapestries. And we weren’t even to our room yet! Room was a king deluxe. Very spacious, comfortable bed, outlets on the side of end tables for charging devices, bathroom was large and beauriful’ I seriously did not want to leave. So much character! We stayed at the Hilton in Anaheim 2 nights prior and this blew it out of the water. We will be back!

staff at this hotel is great-parking at hotel u get charged 8 dollars a day why if are a paying customer-location is great for walking the plaza-rooms need to be updated- work -out room is is a joke if u can call it an work-out room-price is great for Santa Fe

Santa Fe is very walkable and the Drury is in a great location with some great green space next to it. Dinners in Santa Fe can be expensive for families, with many plates being around the $30 range. Lunch is still expensive $15-ish, but more practical when you can fill up at the end of the day at the Drury happy hour.

This lovely old hotel is perfectly located in the heart of historic Santa Fe. You can walk almost everywhere from there, enjoying the relaxed feeling of this enchanted place. Everyone was very helpful and genuinely friendly. It may be important to realize the this is an old property; access may be difficult for some and the rooms are definitely not cookie-cutter. But, if you want to feel the true spirit of Santa Fe, the Hotel Chimayo de Santa Fe is an excellent place to stay.

I have stayed at this hotel many, many times and CONSISTENTLY it meets my expectations. I just love their beds, but perhaps the most important aspect of staying at the Eldorado is the courtesy and kindness of staff: front desk - excellent valet - kind and helpful housekeeping - so polite You have to have drinks in Agave and the location is unbeatable. Thank you, again, Eldorado.

The property does not offer much, swimming pool is ok and breakfast simple but efficient. But for exploring and moving around Santa Fe, it is excellent. It is also walking distance from Meow Wolf show which I highly recommend to anyone visiting Santa Fe. Otherwise, you will need a car to move around and go to downtown and other places. We stayed 4 nights and did not spend much time in the room, but it was good.

We enjoyed our stay in Santa Fe thanks to the hotel. For the price we would stay here again. We were first given a room that was not ready to stay in. After that we were given a room on the second floor even though we had requested a first floor room 2 weeks prior. For a pet friendly hotel it was difficult to find any grassy area around the hotel. On the day we were leaving they started repairing the roof at 8:00 in the morning and the noise was very upsetting. Our room was not cleaned on the 2nd day, so I had to go to the front desk to ask for towels. The ice machine never worked and the bottled water dispenser never had water!

For an old motel, this place is a wonderful surprise. Nicely appointed rooms and comfy bed. Loved the “La Reina “ and then the Pantry for breakfast. The only real klinker was the front desk staff. I felt like I was a bother and taking time away from them (behind the curtain), rushing through the check-in (there was no one behind me), not listening to me or making me feel welcome. This happened with a woman as well as with a man. Please work on your hospitality service!

Great experience, Jenny at front desk was very helpful, the whole place has some character....do much better than chain places. Breakfast pretty good too.

Inn at Vanessie is now our new favorite Hotel/Inn at Santa Fe. Our room was beautiful very clean. The Vanessie is 0.5 mile from the Santa Fe Plaza, an easy walk. Chae, the manager/concierge, was very friendly and helpful. We could not give the facilities a proper rating due to our visit was during Covid 19, so not everything was open to guests. There is a restaurant/lounge, however we did not eat there.

I stayed at the Motel 6 santa fe for one night with two friends to go skiing the next morning. We were disappointed by the tiny size of the room. When we were carrying our belongings into the room, there was an audience of two suspicious/homeless/gangster guys just cruising through the parking lot on foot (not tenants). They were staring at us and made me uncomfortable. I suggest that Motel 6 hire full time security guard(s) to watch this location's parking lot as those dudes were definitely up to no good that night. I read other online reviews since our stay there that state similar happenings, and suggest the motel itself may not be doing enough to push the crime element out.

My wife and I needed a place to stay for a night as we were driving through Santa Fe. We arrived late and left early, and this Motel 6 was a perfect match for our simple needs.

It is a rustic style motel probably built in the 1940/50's with wooden ceilings (vigas) and stucco. The room was clean and presentable. It was comfortable for my wife & I. We will go back again.

This hotel shows the difference between corporate hotel chains and individually owned properties. It's not a luxury hotel, but it's very cozy and there are many ways in which they go above and beyond what's required to make guests comfortable - a decent happy hour, pleasant decor, nice breakfast, not-particularly-good-but-not-bad-for-a-night-or-two fitness room, easy walking into the center of town. A nice start to our trip - recommended.

This may be the nicest place to stay in central Santa Fe at a reasonable cost. If you plan to wander through town on foot, then a stay at Guadelupe Inn is ideal. The rooms are cozy and have an "old Santa Fe" ambience. The place is quiet and has convenient sheltered parking. I will stay here again on my next visit.
