Super gorgeous place to stay. Only I wished the arcade would stay open later. And the gift shops as well. My kid had a bad stomach ache and we needed something from the gift shop but it was closed.

A very nice place to stay about 12 miles outside of Downtown Santa Fe. Very clean and comfortable. Only two drawbacks. Room fid not have kitchenette which I did not necessarily need on this trip but normally do. Also, only one way in/out of building. I chose a room on a far end and got lots of steps “coming and going”. I would stay here again! 🤓
