Booked this place a few weeks in advance for a roadtrip. We stayed here two nights because we were driving and wanted convenient, free parking yet close enough that you could walk to Santa Fe's center (which takes about 15-20min).
They have a self-check in/out system via email and at the front desk which is kind of cool and easy to use. However, this was immediately overshadowed by the disgusting (first) room they had put us in.
First off, their advertising pictures are a lot more dressed up than the rooms actually are. Hell, there isn't even a single free standing lamp in the rooms. Only the spotlights that cover the entire room with one switch. Very weird. Also, decorations are much more sparse than advertised. They should either mention the pictures are staged, or better yet, provide accurate ones.
Secondly, the room we received was in desperate need of a deep clean. There was debris on the floor, likely gravel from the parking lot. There were urine stains next to the toilet, soap scum stains on the walls of the shower, and ants everywhere in the bath tub. There were also stains on my blanket, which unless housekeeping is blind they definitely saw. I complained and got a different room that indeed looked cleaner. But it just gives you a very uneasy feeling the rest of your stay.
Thirdly, although the pictures look nice, the buildings themselves are old. They only invested in cosmetic upgrades but not at all in actual refurbishments. Bathrooms and sinks could use an overhaul. As well as the windows. The seals are so worn that there is moisture trapped between them. You can also feel that moisture inside of the rooms. Even the pillows need replacing. You can tell they have put them in washing machines before because the filling was all lumpy and uncomfortable to sleep on.
They have a bar at the front next to the reception, which can play their music quite loudly, especially if you're staying in the building closest to it. They do close at 10pm though. The hotel provides some breakfast items, of which the muffins were definitely my favorite.
Overall, I would not stay here again or recommend this place to anyone that likes a clean environment. Try somewhere else!
