Which area of Santa Fe is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers seeking affordable accommodation in Santa Fe, staying slightly outside the immediate city centre, particularly areas along Cerrillos Road, often presents the best value. While not in the historic Plaza area, these locations offer a higher concentration of competitively priced hotels and motels.

Cerrillos Road is a main artery providing convenient access to downtown Santa Fe by public transport or a short drive. Solo travellers will find a variety of dining options along this stretch, from local eateries to more casual restaurants, which tend to be more budget-friendly than those closer to the Plaza.

Many hotels in this area also offer perks like complimentary breakfast and free parking, which can reduce overall travel costs.

When is the most affordable time to visit Santa Fe?
The most affordable time to visit Santa Fe is generally during the shoulder seasons—spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October)—or in the quieter winter months (November to March), excluding the holiday periods. These times offer a sweet spot where the weather is pleasant, and the crowds and prices for accommodation and flights are lower than the peak summer season.

For solo travellers, visiting in late autumn or early spring can be particularly cost-effective. During these periods, hotels often offer reduced rates, and you'll find fewer visitors at popular attractions like the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum or the historic Santa Fe Plaza, allowing for a more relaxed and budget-friendly experience. Many galleries and shops still operate extended hours, and you can enjoy the crisp air while exploring the city's unique architecture.

If you're looking to save even more, consider a winter visit, especially in January or February. While it can be chilly, Santa Fe's winter beauty is captivating, and hotel prices are at their lowest. You can still enjoy the city's renowned culinary scene and cultural sites without the summer rush, and many outdoor activities like snowshoeing in the nearby mountains become accessible for a modest rental fee.
