"Visitors enjoy the quiet now, but this expansive adobe palace, built by local legend Witter Bynner and partner Robert Hunt, was once home to legendary parties." Full review

"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
