The hotel was fine and the staff were friendly. The shower was not able to be operated for the majority of my visit. While I understand that there were exceptional circumstances, it is not unreasonable to expect a functioning shower at a 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.
