El Sendero Inn, an Ascend Collection 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.
