9.2/10 Wonderful! (57 reviews)
Lovely property, lovely hosts, LOVE this part of Santa Fe!! It’s hilly and green with big trees that surround this sweet little courtyard. This is where they serve breakfast in the mornings and oh what a breakfast!! George made fluffy French toast stuffed with cream cheese, dusted with powdered sugar. Then to top it off was a heated orange syrup that was the bomb! On the side were fresh scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and a medley of chopped fresh fruit: watermelon, grapes and mandarin oranges.! This was much nicer than most B&B’s, or a restaurant in my opinion! Last but not least, there was a nice bottle of red wine to greet us when we entered our room. We stayed in the Corazon which was quite charming for our special celebration! It’s only a ten minute walk to the plaza, so, no need for driving and trying to find a parking space! We highly recommend this place and we shall definitely be back! Thank you, Candyce and Ryan

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,012 reviews)
I would've given this hotel 4.5 stars BUT the loud overnight staff ruined it. This is a beautiful hotel, with a decent continental breakfast and with a very nicely run shuttle service. HOWEVER, our room was next to the lobby, and the overnight staff was incredibly loud with their voices with complete disregard for sleeping guests. We were woken up several times overnight and my husband finally had to.ooen the door letting them know they were too loud. This is not a cheap hotel.....guests pay a lot of money to stay here and should expect a quiet night of sleep. It's unfortunate the staff does not understand that. Therefore, we will not be back.
