My husband and I stayed 3 nights at Hotel Chimayo. Great location--on a quiet street close to the square. By the first night we felt like it was home. Clean and quiet with appealing New Mexico decor. Very comfortable king-sized bed. Loved the separate living area with couch, fireplace, small dining table and mini-kitchen composed of sink, coffeemaker, microwave and... More

We stayed at the Hotel Chimayo for four nights. It was fabulous. We were there during a hot spell and the air conditioning was perfect. The suite/ room was lovely and had a refrigerator and microwave. The hotel was built in 1870 and has been very well brought up to date. The style is Spanish/Mexican and is very comfortable. We...

This hotel is well located, and in general the hotel staff is friendly. After a 10 hour drive in triple digit temperatures we went to their non air conditioned bar and were served room temperature beer by a smiling bartender. We then went upstairs to their non air conditioned restaurant, and had in a very blah meal served by a... More

Interior courtyard nice experience and made for a very quiet stay. Decor/design faithful to/follows Santa Fe's unique identity/heritage. The location a few dozen steps from the town square is perfect for sightseeing and for experiencing historic Santa Fe.

Couldn't have found a better location to enjoy all that Santa Fe has to offer. Not fancy, but definitely charming with a great feel for the culture of Santa Fe. Walking distance to the town square and all the restaurants. The staff was so helpful, so friendly. Loved the bar and bartender. Didn't get a chance to try the restaurant.... More

Your 4-star review is deeply appreciated rhondasworld, Thank you for choosing us during your recent trip to Santa Fe. As a downtown hotel, our city is steps away from the front door, and it sounds like you took full advantage of that luxury. Your compliments to our staff members is truly wonderful to hear. I hope they took the time... More

On a two week trip the two nights here were by far the hotel highlight. Lovely room, a heater for my wife who was cold and endless smiles and caring by every member of the staff form the front desk to to housekeepers.

This is the best value you can find in a hotel this close to the plaza. This is a 3 star property so do not expect luxury amenities. The rooms need some updating but the beds are nice and comfortable with lots of pillows provided. My only real complaint is the small bathroom which makes me feel like I am... More

You can tell that the hotel was a refurbished older hotel. In spite of that, they did a nice job with the lobby and bar area. The best aspects of the hotel are, no doubt, the location, and the value. You are literally steps off the square. The hotels that are close to this one can be triple the price!... More
