The hotel is lovely, the room is comfortable and good size. The location is outstanding. There is one odd unfortunate quirk. There is no counter space at the sink. The counter is located outside of the main bath area which is very inconvenient: Brush your teeth, go out to get your shaver, shave, go out to get your deodorant, use that go out to get your hair brush. A bit of a pain, but that aside everything else was great.

Excellent stay

The room was clean and fairly spacious. The beds were very comfortable. Nice water pressure in the shower and an actual working window in the bathroom to let some fresh air in. Loved the location and its proximity to the plaza. Would definitely stay again.

The room was clean, not vacuumed every day. But, we never had a dry towel every day we had damp towels we said something the first day, but it didn’t help. There was no coffee cups some of the days and they never give you any water except for the first day. They also forgot toilet paper a couple of days for the prize that we paid, we felt there should’ve been more basic things like water and dry towels

This place was probably our favorite in our southwest vacation. The room was lovely--very spacious, comfortable and within walking distance of a beautiful area full of unique shopping and dining options. the host provided personal attention to us as he showed us the room and its features. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Sedona.

This hotel is great for its location, only a few blocks from the center plaza area of Santa Fe. Nice big parking lot and $10 nightly fee, with friendly staff. The building and room itself has old travel lodge vibes. Nothing fancy but clean. Terrible towels. Average spot, but nice staff.
