I'd never been to Santa Fe and wanted to see it in spite of the rainy forecast. I'll definitely go back and was pleased with the Hotel Chimayo, even though there are many larger, more upscale hotels that we saw wandering around downtown Santa Fe. As many of the reviews on tripadvisor warn, the bathrooms are small. That's true, but... More

Great location. Charming. Underground parking. Block to plaza. Great breakfast and service. Room was upstairs and felt like in someone's upstairs guest suite in their house. Vet cute and can't beat the value for Santa Fe.

I knew that the hotel was a Heritage hotel when it was the Plaza Real and after the name changed to the Hotel Chimayo De Santa Fe. And I'd seen the deceiving photos of the renovations to the lobby and the bar after the name change. But I booked a room there recently under the impression that their rooms had... More

This was by far the largest accommodation we have stayed. It had a large living room, kitchenette, 1 full bath and 1 half bath. A walk-in closet and a TV in living room and bedroom. We were within walking distance of the square as well as the attractions. Shopping was superior to anywhere I have been.

This hotel was perfect. We were enchanted by the porches, courtyard, and the hanging peppers. The location was ideal, actually next to a MUCH more expensive hotel that looked about the same, we were within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to do. Two of the restaurants where we already had reservations were practically footsteps away. I can't say... More

This is an outstanding property so close to the Old Plaza that you can walk easily within a few minutes and be in the midst of sheer beauty surrounded by some of the most glamorous stores in New Mexico. The service is excellent and the ambiance, absolutely warm and charming. Try the courtyard rooms if you like that intimate feel... More

My wife and I recently spend 2 nights at the Hotel Chimayo de Sante Fe. First off, the website we booked through does not tell you that you will be charged $16 per night for parking in their garage. The bed was great. I will stop there with the positive comments. I felt for the $200 per night charge that... More

An email from Jetsetter.com became the impetus for the fulfillment of a wish to visit Santa Fe. This discounter offered a great rate that included parking and a bottle of champagne.

I recently stayed at Hotel Chimayo for five days and while at first I thought it was very nice and the bed was so comfortable, I later realized it lacked some amenities that most hotels have. It does not have a refrigerator which would come in so handy for some snacks or drinks in between meals and at night. The... More
