Do Not Stay At This Place!
The room wasvery uncomfortable. No place to put toiletries. Small. The door locking system was difficult especially in the dark. No lights outside the rooms that were outside the building. This was all capped off by the lack of breakfast as promised on their website, in the printed information they hand out and as noted by the receptionist upon check in. No notice. We all arrived to an empty dining room and no one in the office. This was terribly frustrating since the day was New Years day and no restaurants were open we did get a text later in the day apologizing. Seems the chef was sick. It was the morning after New Year ‘s Eve so….This was no way to run a business!

With a long history of supporting artists, this hotel combines a complete update with traditional southwestern style. The staff were open and accommodating. We loved our room with separate bedroom and fireplace. Walked to the Plaza in minutes.

Unusually large, very attractive room, unit 7. Door to hall has no buffer for sounds in the hall,and this unit has windows on the parking lot, BUT it is still quiet in general. The type of guest for this lodging is quiet and active people. The bed was very comfortable.

... we loved having our own "apartment" in Santa Fe, in this suite in a separate historic building down the block, with its own patio and parking. And, since we'd stayed there before, we loved the colorful design updates throughout the property, main building and our apartment. We were sorry never to meet the staff, but had prompt service by phone and text messages when we arrived late. We missed a TV in the room - there was a TV connection - just to keep up to date on the news each day. Otherwise our stay was absolutely perfect!

It is a very cool historical building. Very tasteful and cozy inside, although it does mean there are spots that could be maintained better. We checked in late, the staff was very helpful in providing check in instructions and service was excellent. Breakfast was a choice of granola or congee. Adults in our party enjoyed it. Kids could have used some more conventional choices, including milk. Location is excellent. Walking distance to the Capitol, plaza, and Canyon road.

Thank you for staying with us! As a 200 year old farmhouse, you are totally right, there are always things to improve on in the way of comfort! Happy to hear that late check in was a positive and easy experience for you! Our breakfast has just recently made a come back, so we need all of the constructive criticism we can get! thank you for the input on breakfast options regarding kids, that is something important to keep in mind. Glad that breakfast was otherwise enjoyable for your group! Come back soon!

My wife and I went to Santa Fe for our anniversary and we're surely glad we picked Parador. Non-conventional and cozy (and family owned??) hotel. Very friendly owner & staff. Great location with walking distance to multiple tourist must sees like Santa Fe Square, farmer's market etc. Freshly made breakfast (free!), taste very good! Comfortable breakfast area with library area. Nice & unique decoration/sculpture in the hallway. We also loved lighting up fireplace in our room. Entrance is kinda hard to find, and one has to drive through a narrow (though short) "alley" to reach the parking. There is no TV in the room (surprise!). Overall, very good experience!

Good place
Nice place. Comfy bed, very quiet at night, hot shower, fireplace worked and was nice to have, close to plaza we walked it pretty easily. No tv, no phone, really cool breakfast and lounge area inside. It seemed a little pricey ($200) considering mine was a basic room, but I was only there one night and my lady really liked it. I liked it too

Great location and breakfast
Very cute place to stay. Used the convenient self check in option. Wasn't expecting breakfast due to covid, but I had my favorite meal of my whole trip to New Mexico here (vegetarian posole). I loved that our room had a Tushy. I miss my bidet when I travel. Only complaint was the gap in the walls at the ceiling. I could hear our neighbors zipping their luggage and of course talking and the light bled through. Luckily they were quiet people and went to be early.

Self check in is a great option when arriving outside of our office hours, 10am- 6pm. Fantastic that this option worked out well for you! Our breakfast did make a surprise come back quite recently, so glad that you enjoyed it. Come back soon!

Cool boutique hotel within walking distance of downtown Santa Fe. Room was sparse and felt mostly empty. I was looking forward to using the fireplace in the room, but was told by management that they are un-usable which was a big disappointment. Felt kind of duped as it was advertised as having a fireplace. Overall felt it was more expensive than it was worth.

Happy to hear you enjoyed the location of the hotel! We are sorry about the fireplace, at the time of your stay, all fireplaces were in need of their yearly maintenance, so for the safety of our guests we put their use on hold for a period of time. I am happy to report that since your stay, we have started serving breakfast again, and our fireplaces are up and running! Perhaps someday you will stop through again and give us another chance! Be well.

Very clean farmhouse-style property with a couple of nice features like a very quiet mini-split that kept the temperature very comfortable, a cold water bidet feature on the toilet, and comfortable bed but everything else was too spare. Big sink without a shelf to put toothbrush, or makeup on that made it difficult to get ready to go out. The nearest place was a 3’ narrow window sill already containing high-end multi-use sanitizer, soap and lotion. A full length mirror would also have helped. No TV. Maybe other rooms in this hotel were appointed better but had I known this, I would have opted for one of them over the monk’s cell.

Best avoid.
We booked and paid for 2 nights but ended up leaving after one. We were not comfortable, the room was hot as the AC was not up to it, the bed was wheeled and flew around the floor with ease and had an unattached head board which was both noisy and dangerous as it has very sharp cut metal as part of its design. There was a lot of noise from guests arriving late. Also the bathroom was pretty dodgy with a loose sink and a bath that was hard to get in and out of and slippy to shower in. The room had no luggage stand which is a pretty simple thing. Nor was there the TV that was mentioned in the description. The place was clean and the toiletries and bedding were nice but after one poor nights sleep didn’t want to risk a second. Also draconian cancellation policy leaves buyers remorse.
