"We had a great time! The property was beautiful and exactly what we ended up needing. While we were in 2 of the units and had 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms it was a little odd that the bathrooms were inside the bedrooms. It did make it awkward for late night/early morning bathroom time….Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the house! "

Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder

10/10 Excellent
"I have traveled cross country on more than one occasion, and if I'm going to be in the Santa Fe area, this is my favorite place to stay. I walk around the outside of the property, the inside of the property and love doing so. The rooms are comfy, the staff is fabulous and I had some great food too. This one is highly recommended, close to all kinds of beauty, shopping and museums."
