    Really enjoy the overall atmosphere of the casino from time to time…read more Brought some family members in for an afternoon till they lost their money But they had fun, i rarely gamble but enjoyed watching the people Had a cocktail and relaxed

    Casino is nice and clean, so are rooms. Beds were VERY hard. The rainfall shower head has zero…read morewater pressure and points straight down, making it hard to clean your entire body, had to do half in the tub and half in the shower. Pool has TOO MUCH CHLORINE in it. My husband and child jumped out after only a few minutes and their eyes were on fire! We had to rinse them over and over w water and rinse immediately in a shower. It smelled like straight bleach. The posted hours at the shops restaurants and pool were not adhered to, seems like they opened/closed wherever they felt like it. The casino is not 24/7. Only on weekends. It's not open until 8 am, they have the whole casino blocked off and every morning when we were leaving before 8 am they gave us a hard time when we wanted to leave the casino and walk to the parking structure to get our car. They literally argued w us about leaving trying to discourage us until I said, "You can't keep us here! We are leaving, so you better walk us out then." They acted really upset that they had to walk us through an empty casino/hotel to the parking. They failed to mention this upon check in. The only restaurant that was decent was the sports bar. We came here to enjoy the pool, restaurants and casino, paying a lot more than other places, and it was a terrible stay. We will never come back.

    This was my first visit at the Buffalo Thunder. We booked directly through the Hilton website which…read morewas really easy. The check in process was seamless. Our room was wonderful and view was nice. Had been provided a digital key, so never had to go to the front desk for any reason. Since we were arriving early our room was ready and we didn't have to pay for early check in which was wonderful. Room was spacious and nicely furnished. Balcony faced the the backside of the building, so we had a view of the pool and a balcony attraction of a gorgeous sunset plus the dusk deco surrounding the building with warm lights that all combined looked absolutely stunning as the sun went down. Did not utilize the casino, did have dinner at one of thier restaurants. Turquoise Bar & Grill ( see my review). There's a coffee/cafe near the lobby area Also, a big gift shop with lots of local native art, and other appealing merchandise that fitting for that area. Stayed only one night and enjoyed it. We were provided complementary bottled water in our room- along with coffee offerings, small fridge & ice bucket. Free parking here for hotel guest too! We really enjoyed our stay! Note-They provide a shuttle to downtown Santa Fe. So you really can plan your days (if it's more than one). If you want to avoid the high parking fees of downtown Santa Fe; Stay here! Only a 10 min drive to the Opera 40 mins to Bandolier. Can imagine during high season pools must be overcrowded, but during our stay they was no one in it. Looks like it maybe undergoing a remolding. Also, be aware they utilize the 2nd floor for pet rooms so choose accordingly. We had a pet and our room was very clean!

    A great place to stay if you're ever in Santa Fe. The bed was super comfortable, the room was clean…read moreand it was such a bonus to have a shower and a bathtub. We had a really nice stay.
