El Sendero was a great location close to the Plaza. The motel allows guests to leave vehicles in their lot after check-out until 3pm which was great since I was in town for a conference. I stayed in a handicap accessible room that was very nice, clean, and quiet. The bed had a good, firm mattress but was a bit high. It would be difficult for someone wheelchair bound to get into bed (I'm 5' 3" and the top of the mattress was at my waist.) My only complaint is the shower water was luke warm.
