My folks recommended this hotel. Maybe Mom dies know best! Great location which really is the reason we states there. Friendly staff. This location is two floors. I don't do stairs and the staff was great in ensuring a first floor room. Our room was basic but clean! Again you stay here due to the location which is fabulous! More

Perhaps it was the high volume traffic of Indian Market weekend, but we were unhappy with the cleanliness and upkeep of our room. Although the hotel is attractive outside and the room is pleasant enough in appearance, there were several clumps of black hair on the carpet outside the bathroom, showing that the vacuuming didn't make it that far; a...

We were in Santa Fe for a wedding and many guests stayed here. The people behind the desk were helpful and friendly; when the AC in our room wouldn't cool, maintenance came within five to ten minutes. We had to switch rooms because of the AC which was a pain, but they put us in a bigger room with great... More

This motel is very conveniently located for visiting the Plaza and surrounding restaurants/retail shops. The facility is in dire need of repairs, both to the outside structure and to the rooms. More

Garrett's is one of those Santa Fe "tourist courts" that has been renovated a bit. It has "old school" tile and porcelain bathrooms. It's location--one block from the Plaza makes it ideal for events like Spanish Market, Indian market, etc. The Pink Adobe is just up the street. Garrett's rooms all have outside entrances. The parking lot is large and... More

We spent three nights here recently. My only complaint would be that the air conditioning was rather loud, otherwise, the accommodations were nice for the price. The swimming pool was small, but clean and my boys were happy to be able to jump in in the heat of the day. More

Nicely fluffed and buffed motel in the right location for tourist visit to Santa Fe--easy walk to galleries, plaza. Clean and comfortable, late checkout was available. Pool, free wifi. Parking fee was $8; breakfast not included. Nice front desk staff. More

I read mixed reviews about this hotel but was pleasantly surprised during our stay. Friendly & helpful staff, nice pool, clean rooms & fabulous location. It's not fancy but compared to the other hotels nearby, this is more than a fair price. It's a quiet location yet only blocks to the tourist areas downtown. More

This is a four star hotel for the price and location... it is NOT a four star hotel for the decor and amenities. The room was clean and comfortable. The location is 2 1/2 blocks from the plaza and 2 blocks from the start of Canyon Road with all the art galleries. The price was better than some locations out... More

We were pleasantly surprised after reading some unfavorable reviews. I admit this is not one of those amazing hotel experiences, as it is really simple. But was just fine and very inexpensive. Better yet, it literally took 3 minutes to walk to the Plaza. The rooms were small and basic, not fashionable, but very clean and they suited us fine... More
