El Sendero was great. Based on the location, we thought it would be a little more "up-scale" but it is more of a motel style set-up, with entry from the room directly to the outside. However, the rooms are recently updated and very comfortable. The cost was great, and the location is unbelievably good, right in the heart of Santa Fe. I'm glad we found it and we enjoyed it!

Room are spacious for the price. The rooms lacks a sitting chair, other wise I would have given 4 stars for comfort. A good location as the plaza is a few blocks away. The on site Asian is very good.

This hotel was extremely basic and quite depressing. Shoddy repair in the rooms was evident. Bed was clean, as was the bathroom.

A little sad:(
We were on the top (2nd floor) The top step is higher by 1 1/2 inches than the rest with no caution tape or at the very least a strip of reflective tape. I tripped on the top step and went down, After a week all the bruises are coming out :( As I stated, at least a warning. Our minds are conditioned to a gait with steps that are up to code :( Sorry but the girl at the front desk at check-in needs to work on her people skills and maybe smile a little :(

Great location, easily walkable to the central square. Plenty of parking for $10/day, a bargain in Santa Fe. Fairly inexpensive room compared to the other nearby options. Carpet in the room was soiled and ready for cleaning or replacement, but otherwise the room was fine and the bed was comfortable. Room was serviced daily but the empty body wash dispenser in the shower was empty our whole stay and not refilled during housekeeping service. But overall, a nice place for the money and we’d stay here again.
