Inn of the Governors
Let me start off by saying before we even checked into Inn of the Governors I had a friendly, positive and customer oriented experience via phone and email with Becky at the front desk. She was on point with all my questions and provided me with some great recommendations during our stay. Thank you ...

The Sage Hotel
We feel like the Sage Hotel offered an excellent option in Santa Fe for the price. The location was convenient, and it was quiet and clean and well appointed. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

Inn on the Alameda
I can't remember staying at such a wonderful hotel (other than a resort) as the Inn on Alameda! The breakfast was restaurant quality and included in the price of the stay. We didn't eat or drink at the bar but it looked amazing. We will not stay anywhere else when visiting Santa Fe!
