This was a lovely stay. The location was so central, it was easy to walk to many things you want to see or eat. Meanwhile the staff were universally helpful and welcoming. I’d stay here again the next time I’m in the area, no questions asked.
We recently stayed at Inn of the Governors on our first trip to Santa Fe. It was a great experience and the accommodations were lovely. The outdoor pool was a wonderful bonus to be open in September. My husband and I loved the welcome sherry hour. The staff is very knowledgeable about Santa Fe and very attentive to their guests. Great location and free parking. Highly recommend Inn of the Governors👍
The Inn of the Governors is located extremely well. It was very comfortable. The breakfasts were very good but not lavish. My only issue is that I was expecting luxe and this is not that.
Wanted to stay here many times over the years, and very happy we finally did. Excellent place to stay. Beautiful place, helpful staff, amazing location. Would definitely recommend!
We always love staying at Inn of the Governors when we go to Santa Fe! It’s such a unique property and beautifully maintained and incredibly quiet. The rooms are incredibly clean, and the beds are very comfortable!
Great location and I loved that I could make a fire in my room!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Good price and great location for sightseeing. Rooms had enough Santa Fe aesthetic to keep the vacation vibe going while we wound down each day and prepared for the next. Website room listing lead us to believe we’d have a kiva fireplace but we did not. Better sound proofing between rooms would be a good investment (maybe only a problem rooms with an inner adjoining door). Parking spots are very tight; lots of white knuckling it pulling in and out.
Wonderful visit. Well positioned for a visit and to take advantage of wonderful restaurants and shops as well as historic sites! Very helpful, professional, accommodating staff and a bar and restaurant to suit needs!
Hotel staff is friendly, courteous and helpful. Ambiance is casual. Hotel breakfast quality and options are excellent. Great location. Always ready to return to this hotel.
This was such an exceptional stay made even better by excellent staff from the parking lot to reception. So kind and helpful! The pool area is peaceful and nice. The breakfast is not to be missed! Made to order from a fixed menu and a great Santa Fe mix. Easy walk to the railway yard and all downtown and river locations. I would love to stay again. Highly recommend.
