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.

El Sendero is in a very good location, walkable to a lot of places you want to see in Santa Fe. No breakfast is offered in this hotel. We had to get breakfast in a restaurant adjacent to the hotel and it's just okay. Staff are friendly and room is comfortable and clean.

This property is a gem! Very friendly and helpful front desk staff, ample parking, perfect location to the plaza, shopping and dining options. The beds were delightful and the quiet air conditioning (a big plus for me) kept the room nice and cool. Loved all the flowers and pool area Would highly recommend!
