Drury Plaza Hotel in Santa Fe
Room was clean and comfortable except it smelled like camp as the smoke from the wood burning fireplace downstairs made its way into the central air conditioning system and smoked up the room. Not the expected scent unless you are out camping!

Inn and Spa at Loretto
The Hotel was amazing - the rooms, staff and amenities were on point. Plenty of nice shops in the hotel and right next door to the Loretto Chapel.

El Sendero Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel
Courteous staff. Great location. Good value for money. Room was 80 percent of the way there, it is an older building but a lot of corners were cut on the renovation of the rooms. Not bad overall, but I might stay somewhere else next time I’m visiting Santa Fe.
