Santa Fe hotels near Palace of the Governors

Cons: This year put in a handicap room which we did not request and did not like it. We made reservation 4 months before so no reason to stick is in handicap room

Cons: Room not as described or pictured at all, Huge disappointment. Also first room they checked us into had someone's drinks on the desk along with other items. Also when checking in, the manager said "Oh, you booked third party". Why should that matter? Made me fell like a low class guest. Then finally after being checked in to 2 other rooms, the third room was satisfactory. Also the pool and spa is not very good. Have had much much better at a Holiday Inn Express for hot tub, pool, and fitness equipment.

Cons: The La Fonda is a fine, venerable institution. Santa Fe has an extraordinary architectural homogeneity (in a good sense). The must have very strict zoning rules for the historical district. That being said, it all seemed a bit artificial, without the sights and sounds of real town. Not far out, there are miserable reservations with dirt-poor housing and a feeling of desolation. That is not La Fonda's fault, of course, but it is a bit shocking.

Cons: Every aspect of this hotel was excellent.

Cons: My view was of a parking lot.

Cons: 1. Room was very shabby and in desperate need of make-over. 2. Loud music from bar goes on every night until 11:00. Very disturbing. 3. So over-priced for what we got. 4. Did not find Stephen at the front desk to be helpful at all. 5. Will NOT use hotel again.

Cons: Mostly, the staff was great and friendly. However, a bad experience in the bar was really disappointing. I wanted to order a light meal (available there) and a glass of wine. I sat alone at my table for at least 15 minutes, while others who were couples were getting waited on and served. They had even come after me! After about 15 minutes, I realized that I wasn't going to be served. So I went up to the bar, where 3 of the bar staff were talking and laughing. Finally, "Luis" took my order of a glass of wine. I commented that I didn't realize thT I had to come up to the bar myself and get a drink. He never responded and gave a slight smirk. I am handicapped and have trouble walking due to 4 fractured vertebrae. I would have appreciated an apology and then have someone come back and check! I slowly drank my wine, and still no service, while others around me (couples) were served. I wanted another glass of wine and a light bite to eat. But obviously that wasn't going to happen unless I chased someone down. So I just left. Regarding Luminare, the restaurant, service was ok. Nothing stellar. At dinner, I wasn't informed of any specials, yet I heard other tables getting the full treatment. I feel that because I am a woman alone, I was sort of treated as a second class citizen. Lorenzo the bellhop was GREAT. So were the front desk staff.

Cons: Didn't like having to valet our car.

Cons: The spa was mediocre at best.

Cons: The rooms are very average and dark. In my opinion, they are very overpriced, as is the restaurant. I expected better decorating in the rooms, considering the hallways and public areas of the hotel are very nice. One person in our party discovered their bed had been thrown-up in the night before and improperly cleaned. When they pulled down the comforter, they were greeted by the offensive odor and put a towel on the bed and found it was still wet. Their night was comped, but that's about as bad as it can get.

Cons: Candy and snacks were too expensive.

Cons: I left a scarf behind in the room and housekeeping was not able to find it.

Cons: Only negative I can think of is their fitness center's a bit of an afterthought, especially when both treadmills were broken at the same time. If you're going to charge everyone a mandatory fee for its use, you should at least keep the equipment working. And while the valet parking staff were awesome, having to pay for valet if you wish to park there is also a little annoying. (I would have anyway, but I can certainly see how someone would not want to.)

Cons: I have stayed at other spa resorts. I don't think the Loretto should call itself a "spa" in the title since it doesn't have any sauna, steam room, or similar facilities. When I stay at a spa, I am really looking for those types of facilities. Also, although they were "nice," I didn't feel staff was really game for checking in with guests about their needs. For example, at the pool, there were several groups of guests the day I was enjoying the pool which also happened to be on the weekend of a big fiesta. Guests (including myself) had to go inside to ask for food/bev service and towels were at your own service. If this hotel really wants to be considered a destination for spa travelers, guests shouldn't have to walk into the lounge area in their swimming attire to ask for food/bev service (yes, there is a phone at the pool a guest can use to call the bar for service but it's just as easy at that point to walk 2 more steps into the bar). Food/Bev management, please schedule an extra waitstaff to attend to pool guests on weekends. Thanks! once I did touch base with the bartender, she was very sweet and attentive! oh and also, please offer guests water while they are at the pool especially since many travelers aren't used to the elevation. I enjoyed my stay, thank you.

Cons: Food was overpriced and the breakfast was lousy Housekeeping service fee? Are you kidding

Cons: I don't think it was worth the price of the room. We stayed in a room with a king sized bed, and there was no bath tub in the bathroom. I just wanted to relax and was shocked to see no tub. I paid $179 a night-I think I was entitled to a hot bath at that price. For a hotel that is right off the interstate, nothing picturesque, not near any night life, not near the plaza; it was exceptionally overpriced. I am from Albuquerque and needed to stay in Santa Fe overnight. I know that Santa Fe runs a little more pricey than Albuquerque, but still...If I am going to pay that much, I'd like a little more value for my money. I will be finding a different hotel to stay in.

Cons: The light from the outside was overwhelming. With the lights out at night, we could have read a book! Luckily I brought my sleeping mask, but it was pretty bad. They also did not have a tub, if anyone cares.

Cons: Parking area filled up so I had to park quite aways way.

Cons: Couldn't even walk around the room without people complaining about the foot steps. So ridiculous.

Cons: Facility - sewer smell, heat not working

Cons: The fireplace in the room didn't work, they charge 22 a day to park.

Cons: First floor rooms have no cell phone service due to the solid construction of the hotel.

Cons: Staff was glum at check and unhelpful. Room was musty smelling. Toilet kept running all night
