The Inn of the Governors was a very charming hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast each morning was delicious. You MUST try the Huevos Rancheros!!! And the sherry happy hour in the afternoon was the great way to end the day. The room was clean and comfortable. I will definitely be back.

This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in, and at a remarkably reasonable price. It is located in the heart of old-town Santa Fe, has full parking, great amenities, attractive and comfortable rooms, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Tea and cookies in afternoon was lovely. We were presented with our own tray first night because we checked in afterward. Having breakfast cooked for us instead of sitting in warming dishes was a treat as well. Front desk staff were welcoming upon arrival.

Our first time in Santa Fe. Loved this hotel, walkable to plaza, restaurants, museums. Made to order breakfast was included which made it very convenient. Delicious homemade biscochos (regional cookies) and sherry every evening was fun. Staff very nice and helpful. Would stay here again if in Santa Fe.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this down to earth, friendly, clean, charming inn. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us like old friends, made sure we knew where everything was located, provided recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing. The breakfast was free, cooked fresh to order, delicious. This is a great place to bring kids because of the pool and walking access to everything. But more than anything else, I appreciated how friendly the staff was compared to larger corporate hotels and resorts I’ve stayed in Santa Fe. As well as the charming southwest decor in the room, and the fireplace in the breakfast room. Lovely!

I paid $275 for one night at room 307, a glorified motel room that was clean and cozy but, too small. The shower head is one of those that you can buy for $5. I left after one night and stayed next at the Eldorado Hotel & Spa. There, a room that could accommodate two king size beds, with deluxe bedding, great bathroom and a big TV, cost me $253.

Great location. Good parking. I stayed in 303 was a bit noisy from usual traffic and occasional yelling person. Breakfast daily was very good. Property is a good price point. Negatives - heated pool not open for the early quiet seeking risers. No thermostat in the room - temp was on but slightly warm 74-75 degrees (I sleep at 68). I would give an A overall.

The property itself is in a great location with walking access to almost everything. However, we stayed in a room located to the left of the parking garage entrance....it was extremely noisy. I would not adivse staying in these rooms and I definitely will not be back. I was looking forward to sleeping in comfortably but was up at 630 with every noise amplified in the garage. Super disappointing. The room was clean but the fridge was rusted and old. In addition, the restaurant attached gives poor service. The room was not worth the nightly rate despite the free breakfast.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is welcoming and the daily afternoon tea and sherry is a very nice touch. My room was very spacious while the bathroom was small. I didn’t like that all breakfast options were around eggs, and only one offered fruit. Not everyone likes to eat eggs every day, so a couple of alternatives would be appreciated.
