But where? Reviewers touted the Inn Of The Turquoise Bear.....and they were right. Pros: - Location: Central. Just south of the downtown area and a 15 minute walk to Canyon Road. - Exterior: A sprawling property in a residential neighborhood. Several smaller buildings seem to have been added over the (many) years to the main building seen on most photos of the property. - Interior: Like going back 100 years. Things were fixed, of course...especially in public spaces...but you might feel as if you're in a living museum. - Our Room (Witter Byner): Large and rambling. More than enough room for 2 people plus a balcony overlooking the front of the property. Very comfortable. I could live there for a month if we didn't mind going up and down 15 stairs to the main floor. One interesting aspect: The bathroom. It was very nice and fully equipped, but separate from our room and down 5 stairs. That wasn't a problem during the day, but a few nights were an adventure - Breakfast: Unreal. Everything was homemade with great taste. The buffet portion had sliced fruit, granola, juices, pastries and yogurt. The hosts and kitchen staff had 3-5 entrees available each day. I rarely tried those since I filled up on the buffet, but my wife ate one every day and only had good things to say. Service at the community table was gracious and unhurried with lots of interesting conversation. - Amenities: A 1-2 hour Happy Hour every day starting at 430 or 5 PM. Fresh cookies, fruit, tea and jug water were available all day (coffee from 630-10 AM). Umbrellas. Plenty of smiles. - Hosts: Everyone was very friendly, helpful, informative and even charming. Special thanks to Aileen (sp?). - Housekeeping: Effective, efficient and unobtrusive. - Parking: Sufficient. The large courtyard in front of the of the property provided enough room for cars in the 11 room B&B. - Price and Value: Reasonable. It's not cheap, but as in most cases you get what you pay for. We'd heartily recommend the Inn Of The Turquoise Bear, but make reservations well in advance.

If you're seeking a warm, relaxing boutique experience in Santa Fe, this is not it…read more Our suite, the aptly named "Territorial," was beautifully styled but functionally absurd. The bed sits just inches from the toilet door, so unless you're unusually close with your travel companion, pack earplugs and a blindfold. Dust was caked into the corners, a dead bug was in the ripple of the vintage rug, and we were greeted by a dried booger on the bathroom door (seriously). The door frame lets light in, the floors creaked like a haunted house, and the entire layout felt like it was designed by someone who's never actually had to sleep there. There were no privacy blinds, only wooden shutters, and the artwork provided enough clutter to fill the room just in case you forgot your own luggage. Breakfast was the big show! Most of what we were served was delicious. For an extra $45 per person, you'll be given whatever the kitchen feels like making that morning... no choices, no allergy considerations, and not even a glass of water. Instead, you're handed an herbal infusion and expected to sip with gratitude while waiting 90 minutes for your dessert tart. But our group's disappointment simply must have meant we didn't understand the "magic" of the experience. In the end, Casa Culinaria is the kind of place that confuses ambiance with hospitality and is more interested in curating an image than creating a welcoming stay. If you're searching in Santa Fe for a splintering rocking chair, garden corners appropriate for Instagram, or even paying $340/night to be treated like an inconvenience... this is the winner! Anyone interested in actual hospitality should keep searching.

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.

Although the staff, breakfasts, room cleanliness remains steady with the new owners, the lack of internet service was extremely frustrating. I was unable to get service in my room the entire 4 nights and resorted to having to leave the property to get service. I told the staff and new owners on a daily basis and the best they could offer besides deflecting the issue was to let me into the main office to use the internet. The owners were very polite but did not fix or address the issue. They insinuated they did not understand why this was happening to me as if it was my phone that was not working. In this day and age it is imperative to have service and it made my stay stressful. J K

The great…read morewas a comfortable bed, and for the breakfast one had two options: a)pancakes with fruit topping or b)potato-based fritata. The unusual was a heated bidet toilet. One can try out something many don't have at home. Then, the disappointing: first, no TV (they're assuming you bring a lap or similar device...problem was I could connect to the network, but got no internet on either phone or laptop.) 2nd, fortunately I brought my own espresso machine, grinder & fresh beans. Reason being, pre-ground coffee with a French press just isn't the same...and you can't steam your milk via the French press method. The towel rack was pulling out of the wall (as it's a deep tub with no loop handle on the wall to grasp upon exit). A floor shower with a marble lip to allow water to build slightly is preferable & much safer especially for seniors. Finally, the mirror needs adjusting for typical heights of people. In the 5'7 - 6'3 range is optimal. A very nice room overall for the price, but internet should be tested in each room if TV's aren't included.- Dan G.
