There are three things going for this hotel: location, location, and location. It is right next door to the Loretto Chapel, and situated on the southeast corner of the Santa Fe plaza (main center for shopping and events in Santa Fe). The hotel room was spotless and newly renovated. Parking is another attraction - hotel guest vehicle can be parked for $10 (as of summer 2025) up to 3 PM on the check out date. There's a nice Chinese restaurant on site, but we didn't try it. Our only concern was the bathroom door - a barn door that would easily derail when closed (pulled) a bit harder from the inside. If that happens, you're likely trapped in the bathroom as it's nearly impossible to open the door because you can't lift it back on the rails from the inside. This wasn't a problem for us as we were a couple, but point to note for single guests.

Old lumpy mattress, off kilter chair. Room was clean and staff competent. I like the neighborhood, it’s walkable. I like it but it’s not top of the line. Don’t care for the attached restaurant.
