Pros:

Beautiful hotel

Cons:

There was a huge truck parked below my window. It created noise throughout the night. I complained so they comped my valet parking and gave me a free breakfast voucher. That was a nice thing to do.

Very comfortable stay in a superb location; excellent facilities and wonderful restaurant.
Pros:

The property itself was very nice and in great condition. Our room was spacious and clean and very comfortable. We liked the aluminum re-usable water bottles provided rather than the standard bottled water in plastic - very environmentally friendly! We had a meal at the hotel restaurant and loved it!

Cons:

Nothing I can think of.

Early morning noise kill the stay.
Pros:

I stayed at the hotel last weekend. This is a beautiful hotel in the heart of the city, so why give it only two stars? Because on Monday morning, I didn’t need to get up early, I am retired, no plane to catch, etc. But around 4:40 in the morning, all I heard is beep, beep, beep of a truck picking up the garbage. So I start to fall back to sleep, but at 5:50 in the morning, the delivery truck is outside my window with guys talking and moving stuff. I know both of these things need to be done, but I believe this room and the other rooms located near by need to be a greatly reduced rate, say 50% for this inconvenience. So if you stay here, don’t accept a room from around 122-130 or maybe the floors above those rooms.

Pros:

Room location was partially unsatisfactory. It was too close to the elevator where people congregated waiting for others. Also, one night a very large group of people were standing and sitting listening to music by a guest playing a guitar. They were laughing, talking, singing, clapping - you get the idea. Noisy. My husband called the front desk and they were dispersed. Also, I was told I wouldn't be charge for that night, but was. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and loved Santa Fe.
