Stayed here many times but never again
Pros:

A good stay is in the details. Well stocked room, soap in dispensers cups for the coffee. A bar with bar tenders behind the bar and carpet in the common areas that is clean and fresh. Trash cans that are not over flowing and s pleasant supervisory staff.

Very Frustrating
Pros:

Oh my! What can I say. I arrived with a group, and all of our keys did not work. One of the guys on the desk made what he though was a joke, but it did not go over well as it was tasteless, and we had had a long day and just wanted our keys. Apon arriving in my room I noticed it was very dated and the AC was not working. I was finally moved to another room which was not better. Afterward I found out all of our group's rooms did not have much AC. We were told they we coming to fix it which it was not. I had to spend much time at the front desk with problems. I overheard some pretty upset guests. I was not the only one not getting much satisfaction from the not so hospitable desk staff. I would not stay at the hotel again. Very frustrating.

Good location and clean
Pros:

First impression driving up is that the front needs some updating. Since the front of the hotel is the thing guests see, I honestly, think they need to put some time and work into sprucing it up a bit. However, front desk staff were very nice and friendly, gave us a good restaurant tip. The room is nice enough but I don't feel like I'm in a Hilton it lacks some of the poshness you expect. But its an older hotel. Its close to a lot of restaurants, in a good location. Had trouble with adjusting the air temperature in the room last night and the front desk manager came to our room and showed us where to set it and what button to push. I know seems easy but it was a little confusing. The hotel and room is clean that's the biggest thing for me in a hotel that it feels clean. I would stay here again.

Disappointed
Pros:

Service/ Hospitality
Placed in a room with a broken AC. When I notified the front desk, they said, yes they are working on those rooms. We can move you. Why put people in a room that has a broken AC?

If you want to enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, this is NOT the location. Pool is murky, dirt / stains on floor of pool and lots of broken furniture. Quite dumpy.

What a disappointment
Pros:

This is a sad property. Upon check-in we discovered that there was no air conditioning in our room. We were told they were working on it. The hallways are dark and dingy. A broken elevator. At least there is more than one. Honestly, the pool view out our window showed a green pool. I could make some algae jokes here, but … They were unable to fix AC when we returned from dinner. Not able to move to another room due to being sold out. Too late to checkout and find somewhere else. Anyway, they did offer 30% off rate. Honestly, having worked for Hilton many years ago, I can say the standards are not the same. Buyer beware. There are better options for around the same price point.

Great location and nice rooms
Pros:

I'd say the other reviews are spot on. Great location to walking the plaza and downtown but there is a lack of attention to detail to the Hilton Honors guests. The historic building and rooms are beautiful. Check in and the little marketplace was average at best. Check out had a much better staff that was friendlier and more helpful.

No attention to detail and dirty
Pros:

Dirty and needs TLC. We went to check this out for a future stay and the lack of attention to detail is overwhelming. I would never stay there.

A great choice in a town with many options.
Pros:

This hotel was included in a Vacations by Rail trip through Amtrak. The hotel is in a great location, within easy walking distance of the main streets of Santa Fe.

Great location.. tired hotel
Pros:

Great location to walk around Sante Fe

Cons:

The common areas & pool areas were pretty beat up. At the outside pool area all of the chairs & lounge chairs were torn & tattered. Inside was the same situation for the furniture in the lobby cheap job on having adequate comfortable seating for guest.. nothing matched it was a series of fixes

Do better Hilton
Pros:

This Hilton needs some exterior love . The rooms were very comfortable and decorated according to the feel of Santa Fe . The lobby is cute and comfortable with nice New Mexica accents. The art is very well appointed featuring local artist . The front desk staff was young and seemed a bit inexperienced but very helpful .

However - the outside seating area before entering the lobby was run down with tired furniture and empty water bottles. The pool looked like it had not been cleaned since 1970 and / or updated . As a swimmer , I would not do a lap in this pool . The furniture by the pool could be updated and more stylish . Do better Hilton .
