This hotel is adorable. We were told it used to be apartments…read more So cute! The rooms were lovely, although the bathrooms were pretty tight. Large closet, coffee in the room and a mini fridge. We had ice packs with us in a cooler that needed freezing. The staff were gracious enough to put them in their freezer for us. The grounds were lovely. Walking distance to so many places. Really, my only complaint was the firmness, or lack there of, of the mattress. I sat on the edge and actually slipped onto the floor because it was so soft. Even my husband who can sleep on anything said it was too soft. Love this place and I'd def come back again.

I stayed here for one week. My stay was so amazing that it made me want to move out to Santa Fe…read more The hotel rooms are equivalent to cottages. Mine included my room, a kitchenette, as well as a living room. There is also a nice outdoor area where you can sit and relax, as well as a nice bench that was outside of my doorway. It was very quiet and peaceful here, I loved watching the sunset. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. I would note that this is not a bed and breakfast despite the name that is in the title. No breakfast is served, other than tea/coffee and small snacks.

The many pros: My two most important criteria: Immaculately clean and practically silent despite being next door to a bar Comfortable bed and pillows Attentive, kind, warm service (Aileen couldn't have been nicer) 10 minute walk, 5 minute drive to center of town Fine dining restaurant next door, brewery on the other side Tasteful, artistic details throughout the room and the common areas Plentiful snacks and beverages for guests to enjoy Delicious, generous breakfast served in a beautifully decorated room on gorgeous tableware (not important but appreciated) Short drive or longer walk to Trader Joe's I have no complaints and hope to stay there again someday.

Our room (Acequia Madre) was spacious and charming, and had an individual refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine. The hotel is easy walking distance to both the Plaza and Canyon Road.

I last stayed at The Lotus, in Madrid, New Mexico in 2014. It was charming, quirky, rustic and a…read moregreat getaway. The time was even better. Proprietor, Lonnie McGuinn brings her New York/Chicago attention to details and sophistication to blend with the rustic charm of Madrid, a hidden gem of a historic mining town located just 30 minutes southwest of Santa Fe. The Lotus is hidden in the hills above the town of Madrid which means it is a bumpy ride with winding dirt/ashphalt roads that can take their toll if you don't have 4 wheel drive. Lonnie does caution first time guests to arrive before dark as the road signs are not that clear. I booked the Standard Room but was upgraded to the Suite (due to a cancellation)-thank you, dear Lonnie! The Lotus is a mecca for the display of the talents of the local artists: sculpture, ceramics, oil paintings, jewelry are omnipresent in this zen paradise hidden in the upper hills of Madrid overlooking the town. The views from my private balcony in the early morning and at sunset were wonderful. Lonnie is truly a master at the art of hospitality. She offers a (complimentary) breakfast of several equally tempting, tasty and organically sourced selections (food allergies or preferences are catered to)--cooked to your specification and served at your selected time. This is about YOU, being catered to, pampered and Lonnie's speciality is "making the world go away." I don't have any problem with being spoiled and treated like a VIP and it's fortunate because Lonnie's personal attentions exceeded my expectations. Complimentary skin and hair products (organic and locally sourced) are offered and a wonderful selection of beautycare items are available for testing. The patchouli shea butter, created by Madrid's Jada White, is a delectable indulgent for hair and body and I loved the botanical lotions and potions of Albuquerque's Star Light skin care products. The Lotus Suite features a clawfoot tub (my favorite way to relax) and a (heavenly) outdoor shower. The Lotus is pet friendly or more accurately, pet indulgent. Lonnie's personal entourage includes 2 well behaved canines and 2 extroverted felines. The magic of The Lotus must be palpable, since my pug (not ordinarily a cat lover) had no issues with the resident felines. Peaceful, private, environmentally and spiritually aware, this is truly a sanctuary.

Started calling to try to make a camping reservation at 10:30am. Called a total of six times and…read morenobody picked up. After cycling over 35 miles, we tacked on another mile or so down the dirt road to the lotus to finally speak to someone. Of course they were booked full. Looking at my fully loaded (we're touring across the U.S.) bike they offered a flat piece of property to pitch our tent but it was up a super steep trail (impassable for our kind of bikes) and we would still be charged the normal camping rate. I appreciate the offer but try picking up your phone so people can make necessary arrangements. We passed two other campgrounds we could have stayed at.

It was more than we could imagine, we stayed in a lovely room, with comfortable beds, a fire place and a cute bathroom. There was even an enclosed patio with a gate off of the room (made it easier to let the dog out in the morning). The space was very open and we felt like we were at home. There was wireless internet, satellite TV and plenty of space for my friend, my dog and I to roam around. We were the only ones there during our stay and my dog LOVED it! Plenty to sniff and explore. Anne, the owner is wonderful and sweet. She recommended great places for us to eat and helped us find our way around. They offer great pet services and we were allowed to leave our well-behaved dog in the room. The breakfasts were delicious, every morning there was coffee, tea, juice, granola with fresh fruit and yogurt. And if you wanted eggs and bacon made to order with scones! This is a little ways outside of Santa Fe but so worth the stay, much better than being in a city. The views from the Hacienda were gorgeous and we saw snow, clear skies, cloudy days, and starry nights (in the two days we were there in late March). It was gorgeous! Can't wait to go back!

We planned our destination family wedding at Hacienda Dona Andrea. All 20 of us flew in from…read moredifferent states to spend the entire weekend together celebrating our wedding, and all 20 of us were in awe at just how magical and perfect the Hacienda was for our group. Each room and main room had a fireplace which was a nice touch to add to the ambiance with the fall weather. The place decorates itself- the architecture is southwestern and unique. The views are gorgeous and the place is perfectly secluded, yet there is still access to the funky little town of Madrid close by. We couldn't have picked a better spot for our intimate family wedding. The team at the Hacienda made planning from a distance very easy for us and we were well taken care of. We are truly so happy with our choice to get married at Hacienda Dona Andrea :)

Madrid Casita is a private lodging for daily/weekly rental in the historic mining town of Madrid,…read moreNew Mexico--just 20 minutes from Santa Fe on the historic Turquoise Trail. The casita is located behind the owner's artist studio and home. It is a very small home equipped with a queen-size bed, a full-sized futon, roomy closet, full kitchenette including: coffeemaker, toaster oven, stove, utensils, refrigerator/freezer, blender, complementary coffee and tea, air conditioning, a space heater, a private outdoor deck with an amazing mountain view, and private parking. The fridge is stocked with bottles of water, a couple of sodas and two beers and if consumed you pay a reasonable price unlike what hotels try to charge you for that stuff. A bottle of water was a dollar and it was $3 for a beer. My boyfriend and I stayed at the Casita for 2 nights. It was super romantic and peaceful. We spent the evenings stargazing on a little deck next to the roof and one night we heard the coyotes singing. The bed was comfortable. The casita was quiet. It is really nice to stay somewhere that you don't have the housekeeper knocking at your door at 8 in the morning and you don't have to listen to the people in the next room doing who knows what. It was also very affordable, $95.00 a night including tax. Now for what I would call the weak points. 1. The water pressure isn't so great but you are out in the desert so what do you expect. 2. The driveway is unpaved and a bit sketchy unless navigated with care, mostly while exiting the casita. 3. This is my least favorite thing about the casita. You can't flush your toilet paper and have to put it in a trashcan next to the toilet. I kept forgetting and having to fish it out and the sink was not in the bathroom so that part was a bit gross and kind of a pain. Despite the three weak points mentioned above. The casita was way better than staying at any lame motel in Santa Fe or Albuquerque. The town of Madrid is amazing and a walk to town is only 1/2 mile. You are also close to hiking, horseback riding, and/or a massage.You can also visit owner Mike Wright's artist studio and sculpture garden. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

We stayed at Desert Harbor for 5 days, and had breakfast and dinner served by Raymond (the fabulous owner of Desert Harbor). The food was amazing, although we knew what we were going to get as we were given a menu to pick our meals prior to arriving, the actual food was so much better than what we imagined from the menu! I love that we can pick exactly what we want to eat, as well as accommodating to any dietary restrictions. The portion size was super generous as well! During our stay, we highly enjoyed our interactions with Raymond, he is super polite and thoughtful! We had plenty of privacy during our stay, and highly enjoyed taking our outdoor showers! In our 5 day stay, we did not get bored of things to do, never did we leave the property once to explore ABQ or Santa Fe. This place is truly a restful, rejuvenating retreat! The wood burning hot tub was probably one of the most special moments for us there as we got to be outside in the dark watching the stars. If you are considering a place to getaway, to rekindle your marriage, or a place to just find yourself and refresh, Desert Harbor is definitely the place! After this second experience, my wife and I have decided that we will be making an annual trip out here as our little marriage retreat!
