We were moving across the country from North Carolina to Arizona and had never been to Santa Fe. Since we had our pup with us, hotels were somewhat limited. When we found Hotel Chimayo, the pictures looked charming online. They made it seem like it was a quiet, comfortable, and pet-friendly place to stay. Unfortunately, the only thing that was really great was the underground, gated parking garage. Otherwise, we debated checking out an hour after check-in to find another place to stay. ||First, they claimed that it was going to start snowing in seven weeks and that they shut the A/C off in preparation for that - we suspect the AC is actually broken. It was 89 degrees during the day with no air at all and at night, the air was so still from zero cross breeze that sleeping was very uncomfortable. We asked for a fan and they said they gave the last one away.||Second, the rooms are old - there's sagging and water stains on the ceiling, the bathroom is clean but dated to a point it doesn't look sanitary; and the bed and pillows were like sleeping on a plank of wood (that's a personal preference though).||Third, the location is in a very loud section of town. It's clear the locals do not like tourists and as such, rev their engines down the small street at all hours. ||Fourth, there is no pet relief area. You have to walk a block down the street and across to a park that is hit or miss on it being safe.||My suggestion: Find a quiet rental near the churches or an inn, in that direction instead.
