A shower is not simply a shower for me. A shower is a way of acclimating myself to the lucidity required to engage in everyday life. It is a way to mentally and physically prepare myself for whatever may lie ahead for me for the day. It's a routine that borders on a spiritual ritual to allow myself to function in the world at my maximum potential.
I am not exaggerating, then, when I say my shower at The Inn and Spa at Loretto was one of the most uncomfortable experiences in my life.
I awoke early in the morning in eager anticipation to enjoy everything Santa Fe has to offer, and as I watched the sun rise over the Sangre de Christo Mountains, marveling at the beauty of the New Mexico sunrise. All that was left for me was to take my shower and prepare for the day. Nothing could have prepared me for what happened next.
I stepped into the bathroom and made my way over to the shower, and turned the knob as I always would to roughly halfway to initiate the process. As I anxiously waited to begin my shower routine, the bathroom quickly filled with steam. After the cool morning air this felt nice at first, but of course I didn't want to scald myself! I turned the faucet back towards the cool side as I stepped into the shower, expecting that I understood where I would reach a ”warm” temperature. Within seconds I was blasted with ice cold water as if straight from a glacier. Pain shot up my spine to my neck as the icy water rained upon me, and I reflexively turned the knob back towards the hot side, thinking I surely had found the ”happy medium”. Within moments I was engulfed in red hot water that felt as if it had just been boiled in a tea pot across my face and neck, stunning me yet again. Frustrated, I moved the shower head directly to the floor, spraying my feet with the same steaming water. I then carefully moved the faucet, one centimeter at a time towards the cold side, gauging the point at which the water would begin to cool. Amazingly, there was no change. After 10 or so careful movements of the knob, the water began to cool, to my great relief. However, within moments the ice cold water returned, once again sending shivers up my spine. After more experimentation and constant discomfort, it became clear that there were only two options for this shower: burning hot or ice cold. The rest of my shower was spent doing a horrible dance of moving between excessively hot and cold water, moving my body out of the water frequently to minimize the pain. I ultimately managed to do the bare minimum necessary to get myself clean, with the chance of a relaxing and revitalizing experience clearly being out of the question.
This is not how I would want anyone to start their day, and I feel this should be unacceptable for a hotel with the stature and reputation of The Inn and Spa at Loretto. While the rest of my experience there was quite nice, this shower left me with an awful feeling for much of my day. I hope they are able to ensure that future guests do not have to go through an experience like this.
What a charming place -- the interior architecture completely captures the spirit of the Pueblo Style. We arrived in the evening and saw the hotel's entry beautifully lit, the lobby ambience gleaming, and in the lobby-lounge we heard the mystical sounds of an indigenous flute player!! We were in Santa Fe for Indian Market. Each morning we'd take their shuttle to the plaza -- awesome drivers, great humor, and we met new friends too. At days end, my wife and I relaxed by having a late dinner in their indoor-outdoor restaurant. The cuisine was delicious, and the drinks had great spirit. Our suite was very cute (my wife's term) and accommodating for having breakfast each morning -- I had their omelet three days in a row and on the last day pancakes. Rest assured, we are going back to Hotel Santa Fe!!
My daughter and I had a beautiful room at La Fonda on the plaza! We had a great view of the Basilica and the room decorations were perfect for Santa Fe! We loved the room so much we ordered room service for dinner and the food was fantastic! We will go back to stay here again.
Although being old it has been reasonably updated.
There isn't much near to the hotel, but it's easy access to a main avenue.
When I checked in I was rushed through the process like if there was lots of people behind me... but no just me so I'm not sure why the front desk was in such a hurry. Also I wanted to use the safe at the front desk but they didn't have the 2nd key so the put my valuables in the managers office, so not quite the same as next day it was a bit hectic as the staff was figuring where were my valuables. In the end all worked out.
Such a nice hotel! It's newly remodeled and very clean and comfortable. The rooms' decor is modern yet in keeping with the Santa Fe style. The bathroom is luxurious and the shower is roomy and has both an adjustable shower head and hand-held shower head. The room itself is very comfortable, with a desk, TV, microwave and fridge. The bed is comfortable although I'm not a fan of down pillows (I prefer foam) but that's a small drawback. The buffet breakfast was okay. I would suggest having someone man an omelette bar so guests can have a made to order dish because the eggs in the buffet were a little burned. The rest of the food was so-so and could use improvement. More choice would be good. Staff were nice and accommodating. The hotel is within walking distance to the Plaza and all its shops and restaurants so that was nice not having to drive. All in all, I would stay here again. Very pleasant trip.

La Posada de Santa Fe, a Tribute Portfolio Resort & Spa
The hotel was great, not the newest but it was clean. Staff was friendly. The beds were super comfy. We always bring our own pillows because some places they are hard. These pillows were so comfy we left ours in the car. Just like home. The frig froze a couple things but really minor cheese can freeze and you can still eat it! Everything was clean and fresh. Coffeemaker in room was k-cup style and the brand was so good. The microwave was great too. The air was working great too. The hot breakfast was great a lot of choices but no regular plain oatmeal only sugar filled packages but no complaints really so much to choose from. The pool is inside it was too cold to get in and my husband got in but out quick. I thought it was suppose to be heated? Hot tub was clean to but no jets which is sorta useless just like taking a hot bath in your swim suit. I have really one concern. There is a lot of unhoused folks in the area. Some were in the bushes in front of the patio passed out. And they are in the medians which is dangerous. We also live in a city where we have our unhoused population. So we do understand the issue . But it was scary a lady was riding her bike and was very shakey if we had not moved off the side walk she would have hit us. We love walking around the area looking for hidden gems but we were not comfortable walking away from the hotel. So we just drove which was perfectly fine. If you go down town the the plaza best advice GO EARLY! Parking can be difficult. But so worth it to check out all the shops and various venders. Check out the French bakery you won’t be disappointed!
TTom BWe were traveling through and had trouble finding a decent hotel. We found comfort inn had rooms available and even though it’s an older hotel, we were very comfortable. The best part was the breakfast! The worst part was that the pool was closed. I would definitely recommend it and hopefully the pool is open now!
I rate our recent experience as q minus 1. We stood there in May of 2023 and the room was decent the young man at the the front desk was polite and professional, we went back in September of 2023 to a very different scenario. The woman at the front desk was very rude . The room was filthy the sheets had what looked like dry blood or human waste whatever it was in was very disgusting. The staff didn't seem to care they did get us another room with clean bedding but acted like we over reacted regarding the dirty sheets and filthy room . Will never go there again. The young man working the front desk at checkout was the only positive part of our stay. We have yet to hear back from the manager regarding our concerns. Wouldn't recommend this motel at all.Tried to include photo of the soiled sheets on the bed but system didn't allow.
The staff was pretty helpful, especially Chris, the bartender. He was friendly and professional and a good bartender. The only problem with the lounge was that the management closes it if Chris is not available!! Not so great to offer a lounge and not have it open! But then for 125 rooms, there was only ONE ice machine on the first floor and only ONE very old Microwave per floor. No microwaves or refrigerators in the rooms. The MW on our floor was broken so we had to go to another floor where we found one situated on a table on an unfinished concrete floor. (looks like the carpeting had been removed.) We were not offered the Welcoming Beverage (Have no clue what it was) and were charged $25/day for it and other 'amenities' that included parking, wifi, water, coffee---all items that are included in the nightly fee of other hotels in which we have stayed. The exterior was a pleasant look as was the lobby..which is why we selected this hotel. But the sofas in the lobby were quite worn around the edges. Copious stains on the carpeting in the hallways as well as seams fraying in at least in one hall. No breakfast was included because, according to the front desk help, the restaurant had been being remodeled for 5 years! Another staff person said she didn't know if it would ever be open and yet another said it would be done in a year. Really? you could remodel an entire hotel in a year. Watch your charges...our confirmation said that if we stayed 3 nights we would get a 15% discount. We stayed 3 nights and received No discount and honestly the final bill was higher than the confirmed price.(Yes, even after removing the lounge charges. )We learned to take the confirmation email with us next time!
