Not the best of experiences
Pros:

I’m usually pretty easy going on my reviews, but I’m going to lay it all out. For the price ( I was not offered any discounts or asked if I was a senior, AAA, military, etc. when setting up my reservations), it wasn’t worth it.

The location was good, but it did not offset the 2 mornings I didn’t have hot water (Luke warm at best). Also the breakfast was nice, but for 3 mornings it was exactly the same - for $300/night, let’s get some variety!

The bed needs work, most hotels now have great mattresses, this one was way low (people with knee problems beware), and not very comfortable after walking all over the Plaza!

The only saving grace was that the staff was very good.

Won’t be back as there are many hotels in the area at that price point that probably would offer what the Pinon Court is missing.

Convenient location for first visit to Santa Fe.
Pros:

Location was ideal for our first visit to Santa Fe; within walking distance to many attractions. Arriving after 7PM the first night we were referred to a nearby restaurant that was perfect for our needs. We found the city circulating bus by accident and it worked well; rode the entire circuit and decided which stops to use. The original plan was for two nights but we decided to stay and extra night and venture to Taos and Los Alamos. Parking was convenient, just steps for our room.

Nice Hotel with improvements needed
Pros:

Pillows not very good. Shower pressure and temperature poor. Expected a better breakfast for a La Fonda hotel. Coffee poor and not very hot. Would have preferred china coffee cups instead of “to go” ones.

A good stay
Pros:

Stayed here one night on way to Taos and the location was walking distance to shops and restaurants. We had a few drinks on the patio and were never forgotten about. The room was spacious and clean, bed comfy, and shower was fine. Easy check in and out. Breakfast was fine too, standard stuff which is fine with me. I would stay here agin.

Sadly disappointed
Pros:

Together with two other couples, we rented rooms at Pinon Court for a few nights just last week. Upon arrival we were very disappointed to learn that the hotel had no real bar or restaurant and the breakfasts that were raved about by others in several reviews on Trip Advisor and other search sites were plain, boring and basically the same you’d find at any discount hotel. The rooms were super small and the overall condition was extremely poor. Obviously, this “motor lodge/motel” is very old and very worn and it shows. We won’t be back!

I've stayed at this hotel twice and would certainly do so again.
Pros:

The hotel's location within easy walking distance to central Santa Fe is very convenient. The breakfast was fine.

Cons:

The cooling cycle of our room's HVAC unit was not working so the room was uncomfortably warm when we arrived in the afternoon. We went out touring central Santa Fe until the evening. Upon our return in the evening I opened the room's windows, which had screens, and ran the bathroom ceiling fan to draw in outside air to lower the room's temperature to a comfortable level during the night. I advised the person at the reception desk on our departure that the unit likely needed some maintenance. This was a minor issue from my perspective.
