"Perhaps more than any other hotel in Santa Fe, this 71-room adobe hideaway on the edge of downtown reinforces the capital's small-town feel."

Star Service
"This casual colloquial hotel fills the gap between the full-service La Fonda and the compact bed-and-breakfasts, and is quite popular despite not having a pool, full-service restaurant or spa."

Avoid 130 to 133, also in the same complex, as these suffer from their location next to noisy Paseo Peralta.

"Just a five-minute walk from Santa Fe's Historic Plaza... There is something about this intimate welcome that makes you feel as if you've arrived to stay in a close friend's casita."
