Fodor's "Some suites have fireplaces; the rooftop suites are the most luxurious and include Continental breakfast and private concierge services." Full review
Frommer's "Whether you stay in this hotel or not, it's worth strolling through just to get a sense of how Santa Fe once was -- and in some ways still is." Full review
Jetsetter "Newly renovated New Mexico–style digs with a bell tower bar, an award-winning restaurant and 92 years of history." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The rooftop Bell Tower Bar is the place for sunset cocktails with a view of the Jemez Mountains." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Built in 1920 to replace the century-old original, it features hand-painted murals and stained glass throughout, and plenty of nooks and crannies where you sit and soak up the atmosphere."
Gayot "Dates to 1922 but looks even older, with its stately Pueblo Revival architecture and snazzy tiled lobby decked with fine antiques and art... Rooms continue the theme with handcrafted wooden furniture."
DK Eyewitness "Artworks are everywhere: the guest-room headboards, the blanket boxes, and even the light switches have been painted by the hotel's resident artist."
Lonely PlanetTop choice

Fodor's "Alameda means "tree-lined lane," and this one perfectly complements the inn's location by the gurgling Santa Fe River." Full review
Concierge "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."
OysterUpper-middle-range
"One of Santa Fe's best small hotels, the 71-room Inn on theAlameda is an upper-middle-range inn in the typical Southwestern style." Full review
Travel + Leisure "It’s all about privacy and sense of place: 71 secluded adobe rooms and suites open onto a flower-filled courtyard." Full review
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
