Wonderful little gem, situated btwn Old Town & Railway Yard. The rooms and buildings clean & charming. We couldnt hear neigbors or TVs; AC or ceiling fans kept air fresh. Breakfast was simple (boiled eggs, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt or cottage cheese parfaits, fruit, coffee or tea, breakfast bars). Sweet comfortable place

My husband and I have been coming to Santa Fe regularly for many years now and just stayed here for the first time and loved it. We were so happy to have a place to charge our electric car. Our room on the second level was very cute and cozy with a nice kitchenette that included utensils, coffee pot and coffee, pots, pans, plates. They are very eco friendly with filtered drinking water in a glass bottle and steel drinking cups on our table. Several other amenities in the room included earplugs, soap, hand sanitizer and lotion available. Also, the shower included refillable dispensers of shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Very friendly staff. There's a cute breakfast room with a basic continental breakfast. This place is lovely and close to the plaza.

What a find this place was, my best lodging experience of my cross country trip. Great staff who excel in customer service. No surprise deposit required upon checkin so you instantly feel like a trusted friend of the staff. The pricing was reasonable and fair for a well preserved time capsule of Santa Fe architecture and finishes.

This has to be the best experience I have had staying at a hotel in a long time - maybe ever. The location is super convenient to a lot of cool spots. The rail yard is right around the corner and downtown is like a 4 minute drive. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We got a great restaurant recommendation the first night. We also hit some snow and weren’t sure if we’d need another night - we didn’t - but they were very accommodating. When we checked out, I was asked if there was anything in the room that needed fixing or attention. The breakfast was awesome! Loved the healthy options. The coffee was amazing - bought a bag at a local place on the way out of town. The outdoor seating with the fireplace and water feature was so peaceful. We stayed two separate times and both nights the rooms were immaculate! Plenty of pillows, linens, mini fridge, microwave, coffee and tea, and plenty of soap/shampoo/ etc. I also loved the little extras - the rubber ducky, cookies in the lobby, and the painted tile. The exercise equipment was also a good touch! The only challenge here are the parking lot is a little tight. Definitely stay here if you’re in the area!!

Breakfast sucked. The toilet paper sucked. And there are cameras in “private” patio areas. I stayed in Casita Bonita. I chose the hotel for two reasons; proximity to the train station and the burrito breakfast other guests RAVED about. Like, that’s what I was looking forward to the most- to the point I even mentioned it to Brian, who checked me in. No one bothered to tell me that they changed it to granola bars and yogurt, which gives this “boutique” motel a lot less value to customers looking for an authentic Santa Fe experience. The website didn’t note that the breakfast had changed from previous reviews and instead didn’t list offerings at all. Had I known about that, I wouldn’t have booked. The casita was nice, really nice. I appreciate the gas fireplace, rubber ducky, and sanitized items. It’s obvious that someone genuinely cares about giving guests a comfortable stay. I’m assuming that person isn’t the one who decided to install motion cameras in the patio area, which I tried to avoid as I don’t appreciate feeling watched or spied on while on vacation. It might be because of their “no smoking within 25 feet of entrances” rule. But the cameras record traffic in the street and sidewalks. There is no privacy outside. I’m also assuming that the person who cares about a great experience isn’t the same one who purchased the worst, thinnest, toilet paper they could find. We stay in boutique hotels often and were shocked that they couldn’t spare an extra five dollars for a pack of halfway decent rolls. I even told management I would’ve paid a couple bucks more for it. The place had a lot of rooms booked when I stayed, even during off season. If they would bring back the breakfast, have decent toilet paper, and let their ADULT guests have privacy this place would be a consistent 5 star property. Unfortunately, in my experience, the cost cutting and security paranoia are often indicative of greater problems that should’ve been prioritized without staining the guest experience. All in all, I had a pleasant stay. I wouldn’t have booked had I known about those issues and I wouldn’t book again without knowing they were corrected.

We stayed in September of 2025. Our room was very clean, the staff were so pleasant and friendly. It was my sister's 1st time in SF and she thought it was very southwestern. The seating area outside under the tree was so nice to have. Breakfast was very good and well thought out. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the location. It is not as close to downtown SF as you might think if you are older. Also right off a very busy street. I found the price to be right in what SF costs. I would stay here again and also tell everyone (and I have) how nice it is.

All the reviews were spot on—we really enjoyed our stay at this lovely motel. Cozy, convenient, and reasonably priced. Even in the cold season, the exterior looks great; I can imagine it being even more beautiful in summer with greenery and outdoor coffee or breakfast. Check-in was charming, with a large tree outside, and we were welcomed with hot tea and cookies. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The property has a two-story motel building and an inn-style building, both with convenient parking and are connected. One step outside the main entrance you could enjoy a mountain view towards the end of the road. We stayed in Room #3, which is small but comfortable for two. It’s near the main entrance, so there can be some road noise at busy times, and we heard footsteps from the upper floor early one morning, but overall sleep was good and neighbors were quiet. The room was well equipped with a TV, microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, desk and chair, and a small sofa. The bathroom is tiny but cute, and we appreciated the glass bottles of water provided. There’s also a water fountain in the check-in area. Free breakfast is offered in a separate room near reception, with a hot water dispenser and fireplace. The location is convenient. 10–15 minutes to downtown Santa Fe and 5 minutes to the Railyards. EV charging is available as well. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Santa Fe.

For an old motel trying to make it in expensive Santa Fe, we were impressed. The staff was lovely, the room was outfitted to be cozy and offer a lot of amenities (though it is small). The location is great. There were so many thoughtful considerations. Our AC was quite loud but they provided ear plugs. Our only complaint was the free breakfast was thin in options and the best option, oatmeal, often ran out. Still, we'd be happy to visit again!
