"We were hesitant but I’m so glad we gave it a go. This was a great place for a short stay. We spent the night going through Santa Fe. The front desk was super helpful and our room was very clean and had a comfy bed. The breakfast was AMAZING. Fresh cooked breakfast burritos. The hotel was quiet. I highly recommend it."

Hotel St Francis

Hotel St Francis

8/10 Good
"Hotel St. Francis is a historic property near the Old Town in Santa Fe. There are many restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. Common areas of the hotel are nicely decorated and comfortable. Staff were uniformly helpful and courteous. Valet parking in a lot across the street is included in the "amenity fee" added to room cost. However, the rooms were very small - perhaps to be expected in a historic property - just large enough for a queen bed and a few small pieces of furniture. The room AC unit seem to run every five minutes even though it wasn't particularly warm outside. Overall, a very nice and comfortable hotel in the middle of Old Santa Fe."
