Hotel Chimayo is always a perfect choice!
Pros:

We love staying at Hotel Chimayo. We have stayed many times! The location is perfect and the parking is a big bonus. The hotel has the most beautiful courtyard and feels so welcoming. The rooms are small and lovely . Hotel Chimayo has several sister hotels close by which gave us some options for swimming or working out. All in all just wonderful.

We loved this historic hotel
Pros:

We had a great stay in a beautiful atmosphere--great location, comfy beds, private balcony for relaxing. Underground parking was very convenient in a crowded city. The history museum is right across the street next to the Palace of the Governors.

Cons:

Some wood trim around the property needs replacing, including the hotel's front railings. The room's HVAC fan was always running, and it was loud. I appreciate the effort needed to keep up the modest footprint and features of the historic bathrooms, but hopefully the hotel can figure out how to update them tastefully.

Old facility well maintained; needs some upgrades
Pros:

Good location. Lots of space. Comfortable bed. Closet and drawers were adequate

Cons:

Not enough light switches. Had to walk to front door through the front room to reach the switch. Not enough lights.
Did not receive promised refund since we didn't need to park

Would definitely return!
Pros:

There was much to like! Loved the location - steps away from the Plaza - and the convenient parking just behind the hotel. The front desk staff were fantastic - capable, efficient, and friendly - particularly on the busiest weekend of the year. The room was clean, beds were very comfortable, and we appreciated the generous pillow options offered. We noticed no sound from neighbors, which was miraculous given its sold-out status.

Cons:

We were fine with these details - for two quick nights, and the more reasonable pricing for a hotel on the Plaza, the trade-offs were worth it. Our room was fairly dated. We were met with approx 25 stairs as soon as we opened our door so we were essentially on the 2nd floor. The A/C was borderline adequate - better than outside, but not quite refreshing. The window was not functional. The bathroom was tiny, and one has to be pretty much on top of the toilet in order to make it far enough into the room to close the door to be able to enter the shower. Still, the property was priced fairly compared to more luxurious properties on Indian Market weekend, and doable for a short stay.

Location and Value
Pros:

We are happy to return to this location whenever we can. The location is outstanding and the value terrific. Parking is included in the $30 daily resort fee, but it is still a great value. Staff are friendly and helpful. It doesn't have a restaurant per se, but there are so many nearby. We hope to return next year.

Hotel Chimayo == quiet; comfortable; convenient
Pros:

This is a lovely old adobe hotel with 2 stories and a small number of rooms. Our room had a sitting room off the bedroom. Bathrooms have lovely tiles but they are somewhat dated. You cannot beat the location near the Plaza. Rooms are super quiet and the air conditioner worked well. We also had a small refrigerator and microwave in our room. Parking available in their underground garage. We spent several pleasant afternoons/early evenings on the front porch. The wood-fired pizza at the bar was a treat.

Pros:

Hotel located in a great location. Many shops and restaurants all with in walking distance, The hotel is very nice and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They put out muffins,fruit and granola bars for the guest in the morning. They offer you water to take with you when you go out to walk around. The area is clean and quiet. People are very friendly. The rooms are very nice. I had a room on the 3rd floor which had a staircase in the room which lead to an emergency exit. Never have seen that before. The hotel is clean and comfortable.
