Need to try this beautiful old hotel at least once if stay in Santa Fe.
Pros:

Close to the Plaza. Beautiful building. Very friendly and helpful male staff.

Cons:

Because it was first time I stayed, I didn’t know there was no elevators for left side upstairs rooms. The stairs were quite steep and long so difficult to carry suits cases. My room mate was elderly and had not perfect mobility so it was a pain.

Great location and ambiance, but accessibility for mobility impaired is limited
Pros:

The location is great - short walk to the Plaza. Covered free parking is also a plus. The room was very clean and comfortable. The check-in staff were very pleasant to deal with.

Cons:

Accessibility was difficult - there wasn't an elevator to the floor our room was on. The stairs up to the room were narrow and a challenge to navigate for us as older travelers. The bathroom was a little small. Unfortunately, the shower temperature was tricky to adjust between scalding and too cold.

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.
