Comfort Inn Santa Fe South

8/10 Good
"This was an average hotel. The bathroom door didn't want to stay shut. My husband could hardly get the shower spigot to come on because it was stuck. There was no freezer in the fridge, which we needed. We set the thermostat for 68 overnight to keep it cool, and it cranked up to 76 on its own. I finally just shut it off. The breakfast was average. The location was quiet."

"The hotel is not in as good of condition as the photos show. It’s a bit worn and not well maintained. Stains in the showers, water didn’t get hot and handle was nearly broken, pressure was not great, a sticker on a towel, sticky spots on the laminate floors, loud noises from the upstairs room. We asked for an iron because there wasn’t one on the room and it left black residue on my shirt. They brought us a new iron that got the job done. This was not one of our better hotel stays. We booked a room with a king bed but was told they were overbooked and didn’t have one for us so we settled for a two queen room with free parking thrown in. But it was more affordable than being in downtown Santa Fe."
