"The 81-room upscale boutique, housed in a historic building two blocks the Santa Fe Plaza... features simple, mission-style decor inspired by the principles of St. Francis of Assisi." Full review

"In summer, the long, ground-floor veranda in front is one of the better people-watching sites in town; new seating makes it one of the comfiest, too." Full review
Gayot

"Perhaps more than any other hotel in Santa Fe, this 71-room adobe hideaway on the edge of downtown reinforces the capital's small-town feel."
Lonely Planet
"Handmade furniture, kiva fireplaces, luxe linens, elegant breakfasts and afternoon wine-and-cheese receptions bring B&B-style elegance to a pleasantly efficient hotel." Full review
Star Service
"This casual colloquial hotel fills the gap between the full-service La Fonda and the compact bed-and-breakfasts, and is quite popular despite not having a pool, full-service restaurant or spa." Full review

Avoid 130 to 133, also in the same complex, as these suffer from their location next to noisy Paseo Peralta.
Gayot
"Just a five-minute walk from Santa Fe's Historic Plaza... There is something about this intimate welcome that makes you feel as if you've arrived to stay in a close friend's casita."

Frommer's
"It offers the level of service you'd expect in a larger upscale hotel, but in a smaller, more intimate setting...the whole place is done up in the traditional Southwestern Pueblo style" Full review
