El Sendero Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel

El Sendero Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The beds were clean and comfortable. The room overall was very clean. The mini-split was quiet and efficient. I didn't like the carpeting; but everything else was fine. The front staff was welcoming and helpful. I was disappointed that it was too rainy to enjoy the pool ; ). The room was quiet. You can't beat the location; had take away pizza just a few feet from the hotel property."

8/10 Good
"The room was nice, average for the area. It was very clean and in good shape. The employees were helpful and pleasant. The weather was raining for most of our stay, which required a lot of time spent in the room. There was only one straight back hard chair for sitting. The only other place to sit was on the bed. The shower leaked on the bath room floor every time it was used."

Coyote South

10/10 Excellent
"We loved staying at Coyote South. The entire property was clean with a lovely Southwest vibe. Our room was very comfortable with a bed that was just right! As many guests have said the breakfast burritos were great and such a change from the tasteless fare in many hotels! But they also had yogurt, cereals, and bagels, etc. The only thing that we were missing were the pods for the keurig in the room, but with readily available coffee down the hall and in the lobby, it wasn't an issue. The front desk staff were all friendly and very helpful."

Hotel Chimayo de Santa Fe

Hotel Chimayo de Santa Fe

8/10 Good
"First off - the place is really cute and fairly quiet. Had a decent stay. Initial check-in person was not helpful and seemed to not be happy to be working. Got a room with a fireplace - never got anything to burn in that fireplace. First night was fine (as the hotel had the system set for air conditioning) so our room had air conditioning and stayed cool. The second night (the hotel had the system set for heating) so our room was HOT, too hot to sleep. Since the hotel sets the system - you CANNOT get air conditioning when they set the system to heat."
