Santa Fe accommodations
 
Does anyone have a recommendation for a hotel or b and b in Santa Fe? We will be going at the end if October.
Thanks!

What kind of accommodations do you like - simple, fancy, etc? Do you want to be close/in town or is a bit out ok? A chain motel?

And most importantly, How much per nighth

We enjoyed Inn on the Alameda and Inn of the Anasazi. The latter is more expensive.

We stayed at the Inn of the Governors and really enjoyed staying there. The breakfast that is included was great, you can walk to the Plaza and there is free parking.

The above are all good, as is The Hotel Santa Fe. There are lots of chain hotels about 15 minutes away from plaza on Cerrillos Road.

We enjoyed staying at the Old Santa Fe Inn. It's a bit more moderately priced than many of the other places nearby. The location is excellent. Our room was small but tastefully furnished and well equipped.

Hilton on the Plaza betterbidding.com Priceline.com

4 star $79 bid won super nice for price even free parking...

Cerillos Road not walkable to plaza would not stay out there.

There is much more to Santa Fe than the plaza, so staying right near it isn't mandatory.

If they are looking to save a few dollars, have a car and don't mind a short drive - staying on Cerrillos Road.


There are no guarantees with Priceline, and Hilton is now 3.5 *

Hotwire had Villas de Santa Fe (3 blocks from Plaza) fully equipped condos for ~$80 for September. (Had to do a little detective work to figure out the place, but it worked for me.)

I haven't ever seen those sylvia, they look very nice. I think I have walked past them and thought they were condos. If they are the ones I am thinking of, they are in a decent location as we often park on the street near them.

There is a note that there will renovations on 35 units from end of October until mid December, as an fyi.

A few years ago, my wife and I stayed at the Water Street Inn. You can walk to the plaza, but I agree with some of the earlier posts, this is over rated. When we booked 4-5 years ago, prices were about $100/nt and included a very good breakfast. No idea on the prices now. I briefly looked at their web site and it looks like its changed names, but you can still get to it at www.waterstreetinn.com

DebitNM Sep 16th, 2011 07:26 PM

The prices are more than double that now, kduncan.

oh, it also has a club as part of it now that had live music etc - I think that it would be a very noisy place to stay.

Old Santa Fe worked for us. Good breakfast spread (included) too. Right across from the Capitol and centrally located (although Santa Fe is not a metropolis by any means).

Tell George Martin to get back to work and finish his next book in less than six years.

Thank you all for your recommendations. We will have a car since we are flying to Albuquerque and don't mind a drive. We would like comfortable acommodations that are luxurious but not over the top. We are celebrating our fourth anniversary and it is the first time in Santa Fe for my husband.

YES!!:)

If you can get a room in your price range, Hotel Santa Fe is a nice choice. They have free shuttle to plaza, is also walkable to Plaza and to Railyard. It is the only Native American owned hotel in Santa and has a very authentic feel to it. They have a wonderful flutist, Ronald Roybal, who performs a few evenings a week for free in the lounge area, and he is wonderful.

They also have a section that is a bit more upscale and a spa on site.

This just came into my emailbox:

You would have to drive to Plaza [they have a free shuttle], but as I said before, the plaza is only a small part of Santa Fe.

DebitNM Sep 22nd, 2011 12:42 PM

uh, better skip that last suggestion - I didn't realize where it was, far away and not all that nice. Sorry.

volcanogirl Sep 22nd, 2011 03:07 PM

We loved the Inn of the Anasazi. It totally fits your luxurious but not over the top description. We stayed there for our anniversary. Really charming and great service, and an excellent location near the Plaza.
