The hotel added the ambiance of the Southwest. Made our stay in Santa Fe extra nice. The only negative comment was the difficulty in connecting to the WiFi. Certain areas of the hotel including our room were dead spots. However, we will definitely return.

Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your honesty as we look for reviews to provide insight and constructive feedback regarding our hotel’s service and amenities to better our guest experience. Due to fire and safety regulations our accessible rooms is required to be located to the nearest exit if a fire were to occur. This would ensure our guests safe and easy access to the nearest exit.
