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."

Rough Guide "This old-fashioned hostel, housed in a ramshackle former motel a couple of miles southwest of the plaza, is one of those love-it-or-hate-it places."
Frommer's "This non-profit offers the most affordable lodging we can recommend in Santa Fe, and, although simple and basic in true hostel style, the accommodations here are quite pleasant" Full review
