Sandoval County Vacations & Trips from $336

Todo muy bonito y muy buen trato

Excellent location

Essentially a well-decorated motel without the charm that might come from recognizing and building on that limitation. Well located, with convenient parking and within walking distance of most Santa Fe attractions. Junior King Suites are not suites at all - just one adequately-sized room with the bathroom sink at one end and two armchairs by an electric kiva fireplace at the other. (The morning staff person at reception seemed incapable of providing a straight answer as to whether other/different rooms might be available, insisting on restricting that discussion to rooms of the same type that I had reserved.) The small lobby area has clearly been "designed" by a good interior decorator (e.g., a beautiful weaving hung behind the reception desk and a prominently displayed book about Andy Goldsworthy nature sculptures prominently displayed by the sofa) to resonate in photos and on the website. Ground floor room windows (most of the property is single-story) directly facing arriving cars and motorcycles means that lower shutters must be kept closed, which in turn means the rooms are dark, and there isn't much of a common area to hang out in outside of the rooms. (There is one small two-story section near the front of the property that might convey more of a hotel feeling. Don't know how the experience might be different there.)

Rooms were nice, pool was wonderful and the staff was friendly and helpful.
