Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The accommodation met basic needs. However, why were the accessible rooms on the far side of the car park? When we tried to have breakfast at the adjoining restaurant, we were met with a very rude response from the member of staff. The main downside for us was the lack of breakfast options at the hotel. A big positive point is the proximity to the centre of Santa Fe which is a five to ten minute walk away. We also appreciated the Christmas decorations at the hotel.
