We were attracted to the Silver Saddle as it had good reviews and was $ motel. With tax the cos was $153 for the night. The motel is very cute. The room was clean and uncluttered. The decor was black and white and felt contemporary. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were hard. The room did not get dark due to the outside lights. 10 point hotel rating I decided to establish a scale for rating hotels and motels. I apply the same scale for "luxury" hotels as well as "budget" motels as I stay in all types depending on where I am traveling and the purpose. After cleanliness there is no particular order. 1. Cleanliness VERY 2. Comfort of bed. GOOD 3. Comfort of pillows. Are there both firm and soft available. TOO HARD 4. How new is the room decor and fixtures. GREAT! 5. Quality of room. This includes size, temperature, smell, lighting. GOOD 6. Quality of bathroom. This includes size, lighting, ventilation. GOOD 7. Bathroom amenities. These include magnifying mirror, presentation, quantity and quality of toiletries. Softness of tissue and towels. NO COMPLAINTS 8. Friendliness of staff. PLEASANT AND EFFICIENT 9. Noise. Road noise, adjacent room noise, air conditioner noise. NONE 10. Price. Was it worth the price I paid all things considered? This includes proximity to conferences and activities. Not budget priced, more comfort Level.

Confirmation of booking
Kristy G.

Booked a night at this hotel thru Hotels.com. Was driving from Las Vegas NV and called ahead to confirm my booking and asked for a late arrival check in knowing I would arrive around 930 pm. The person I spoke to said this would not be a problem. When I arrived, there was a sign on the door providing instructions on calling or texting to let the owner (who apparently lives on sight, per the motel's website) know I had arrived. It was 930pm. I waited and waited-no one ever called or texted or showed up. Who runs a business like this?

I stayed here again for a few days. On the first day the shower in the same room (25) took about ten minutes to get hot again but also the toilette wasn't flushing correctly. Nothing like being concerned about using the toilette. I notified them of the issue before going out for the day and returned early from my parents house to make sure it was fixed because the office closes at eight. Sure enough it still wasn't working correctly so they put me in room 19. I went to check the room and the toilette was fine but the bulb was burnt out in the fixture over the bed. I turned the bulb a bit to make sure it was seated properly and the entire overhead fixture came down on top of me. Right about then the clerk came running to tell me they had to put me in another room because they were having issues with the fixture over the bed. You think? It is a cute hotel but it seems like they are having issues with all of the rooms so I'll just have to find another place for further stays I guess.

Oh! My! Gosh! How cute is this vintage Route 66 Motel?! Seriously.. driving by, you may question it, but I never did! The outside is painted nice, great parking lot, cute little motel office and gift shop. We were able to stay here for under $80 a night during the summer! What?! I will take this over a fancy hotel any day! You aren't a far drive from Santa Fe's historic downtown area either. Each room is decorated differently and uniquely! Even down to the quilts and bedding. I love that each room is different! Definitely a unique style. They king bed rooms offer a fridge and microwave. The rooms are clean, inviting, and cozy. They have a continental breakfast, which they then open a back room and a patio to sit at and enjoy your breakfast. Plenty of things to choose from, from fresh fruit, bagels, toast, boiled eggs, cereal, juice and coffee. The front desk staff was so welcoming and friendly and gave great suggestions for near by restaurants and attractions. If you're along the back, open your bathroom window for a surprise set up of vintage vehicles! And go shopping in the camper during breakfast on the back patio!!

kitschy western decor

Just Ok. There are airbnb's for about the same price and they are closer to the plaza. There were a lot of homeless people in the area and we were woken up by sirens both mornings. The front desk agent told us Meow Wolf was across the street, which is why we booked, but it was across the street and down several blocks. The showers are tiny and the bathrooms, mostly the floor, just didn't feel the cleanest. There is no longer a continental breakfast, likely due to covid. the decor is cute and kitschy and there are nice flowers everywhere. There is security on site but overall the location just wasn't the best. Ok for a night but we wanted to leave after that.

I'll be honest. I was incredulous. The room rates are pretty cheap. Most of the reviews are raving. What's wrong with this place? Apparently, what's wrong is that I'm a cynical person who assumes that there has to be something wrong. Yes it's a motel, so... set your standards accordingly. But being a motel and all, it was a fantastic experience. [] Check, Check, Check [] + Friendly and knowledgeable staff? Check (if you have questions about anything Santa Fe related, ask, because they know a lot). + A good breakfast including eggs, pastries, cereals, breads, coffee, milk, orange juice, homemade spreads, etc.? Check (there's a great outdoor patio space in the back where you can chill and eat breakfast). + Clean, kitschy rooms with fridge and microwave? Check (they're small, but they get the job done). + Free (but slow) Wi-Fi and cable television? Check. + Semi-centralized location on a major road, which makes the whole of Santa Fe easily accessible? Check. + Relatively inexpensive? Check. + Blake's Lotaburger nearby so that you can visit a restaurant that was referenced in Breaking Bad? Check (Also, can I just say? Stupidly expensive and largely unimpressive). [] Not So Check [] - The parking lot: it's gravel, there are no delineations, and it's more than a bit ridiculous to navigate later at night when everyone has started occupying the tiny space. - The bathrooms and showers are tiny, and made for tiny hobbit(ish) people. But they're still navigable for anyone that isn't built like Hodor. Also, I noticed someone mention that Silver Saddle doesn't have lousy coffee because they have Folger's. I didn't know that Folger's coffee was the standard by which all other coffee (lousy or otherwise) is measured... And that sounds more stuck up than I intended... Too late, it stays.

Love it here. Very retro but owner managed-so things are done right. Very friendly staff and clean accommodations. Don't make the same mistake I made for years and pass this place up because it's an older property. I will not stay anywhere else willingly while in Santa Fe. I've been here twice so far but expect to form a lasting relationship. It can get booked quickly so plan ahead.

Interior queen room
Nicola V.

Not a resort so don't expect one. A vintage, budget priced old-fashioned roadside motel. Friendly, helpful owners and staff. Incredibly fair rates (I paid $52 for a room with a queen bed). Fridge and microwave in room. Cafe Castro across the street. 13 minute drive to the Plaza. Clean, plenty of toiletries and linens. Rooms are themed (I stayed in the Annie Oakley room). Excellent choice if you want a budget stay in an expensive town, but with quirky charm.

Details inside our room.
Kimberly L.

We had the best experience here, we wanted to stay longer! Amy at the front desk made it very easy for us to check in when we called to notify our late arrival. The room was clean and we loved the cowboy theme!! The details inside the room are top tier. Our favorite part of our stay was the queen size bed. It was so comfy and warm, we had a hard time getting out of bed the next morning. Continental breakfast was great and had all of our basic needs: fresh coffee and OJ, milk, cereal, assorted breads/bagels, fruit, and more. The kind young lady with an accent at the front desk was so attentive and informative, we appreciated her so much! She gave us a map of Downtown and circled all the places (and parking!) we should visit. Thank you, SSM, we will be returning soon!!

Nothing's better than laying your head down at Silver Saddle Motel after a hard day of traveling.
Brian P.

Upgrading our review to 5 stars, because we've been returning to Silver Saddle every year since our original post. Plus, we've since become puppy parents, and they love dogs at SS. Our Weimie loves it here, as you can tell from the pic. They continue to provide family-friendly service, and a comfy, very clean place to lay your head. So much more fun than some of those sterile, big name hotels.

Ananda B.

What a cool, retro motel. Nothing generic about it, many thoughtful handmade details. Clean. Comfortable beds. We were in one of two second floor rooms, and it was quiet with the AC going for white noise. It is old fashioned. Be ready to step back in time. It's a fun experience, for a fraction of the cost of other Santa Fe hotels. Some real attention and creativity turned this old motel into an enjoyable place! I gave it five stars, it's not a luxury hotel, but it is the best for what it is- a uniquely made over vintage building.

Frank H.

Love the Silver Saddle Motel! Fancy? Yes, in its own unique way it is. Want a fitness room? Go to the $200 per night hotel. Want a fancy restaurant in your hotel? Go elsewhere. Want a nice clean room with unique style that takes you back to nostalgia! This is it. Dawn is so nice and welcoming. She set us up with a small coffee maker and while the Willie Nelson room is small it is well designed and laid out and the shower is HUGE with plenty of hot water. Place is clean, kitschy and inviting. It is now our go to place for Santa Fe. Plenty of great dining options close by and while on Cerillos Road the road noise wasn't bad. Great property for a great rate. Thanks Dawn and Company!

When we drove in, the parking lot was just about full and the space that was available was too small for my truck. The security guard who I wish I could remember his name as he was such a gem, let me know that he will park my truck for me. He had a fabulous Texan accent and he was just the nicest man. He said go on inside and check in and when you come back out, I will park your truck for you. The woman who greeted me inside was so lovely. She said I am so glad you are here! You are our last guest to arrive and I will get you all checked in. It felt like we were in a different time almost, it was so cozy and quaint. Our hotel room itself was perfect. We had two beds and they were so comfortable and the linens were fabulous. The wall hangings and paintings were gorgeous. The bathroom was adorable and had pretty New Mexican tile. Even the carpets and rugs were beautiful. They do have a restaurant and room service. They have a complementary breakfast cooked to order which is something I have never seen before. Unfortunately we were so tired the next day we missed the breakfast, but we will definitely book another stay in this hotel. The reception area is beautiful and has lovely couches and sitting areas. The paperwork in the rooms is extremely thorough and will tell you everything you need to know, from room service to if you have difficulty parking your car to nearby restaurants and sightseeing. I did not read all of the paperwork when I first got to the hotel and in the morning I called for coffee to be delivered to my room. I later saw that coffee is actually set out for guests in the reception area so the woman who brought me the coffee really only did it out of kindness. I definitely felt like this hotel gives five star service.

And they didn't hv any 2 bed rooms available. So I found this place And in that week between Christmas and New Year's we still wanted to catch the Christmas lights and farolitos And if you too are about location, location, location This was perfect If you've ever had to drive to Santa Fe, you know that parking can be a bear -- and it was, with a lot of the main streets blocked off in anticipation of NYE celebrations. The hotel is actually quite a large, sprawling complex, much deeper that what might be assumed when pulling in. We got there mid-afternoon so could park rt in front of our first floor room. I hadn't even thought about that but my creaky knees were happy and quite relieved to only hv to haul my wee bag up 7 steps or so. Check in was easy, if a bit crowded, as a lot of regulars like to show up a bit early too. The doorman was a very polite young man and everyone made us feel welcome. The older gentleman at the counter was a font of information And made sure we knew abt the Happy Hour Short and sweet Whatever you do: try the biscochitos! (The official NM state cookie, fyi - for a reason - when done right, and these definitely are!) Everything was very clean Even with all the Christmas decorations and greenery out There's an excellent restaurant on site And when they say there's "a bit of a kick", and shd you be a wuss like me, order the spicy on the side. Staff was very considerate abt this. And breakfast is pretty good too! And it was so easy to walk to everything, stuff I usually don't get to see bc I'm usually on the other side of town.

This hotel provides better service than many "upscale" hotels who are supposed to have all the…read more"proper" training. I have been coming to Santa Fe for more than 35 years, always staying at our family home. When that home was sold two years ago, this became the first time my husband and I needed to find a hotel for one of our visits. Because Santa Fe feels like a second home to us--and because we were returning to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary--I did a tremendous amount of research before booking. We chose the Drury Plaza Hotel because we wanted to be within easy walking distance of the historic Plaza while still receiving genuine value. The included breakfast and evening Happy Hour were major deciding factors. Happy Hour includes drinks and enough substantial food that it can easily serve as dinner after a full day of sightseeing, adding meaningful value to the stay. The location could not have been better. Each morning, I walked to the Plaza before my husband woke up, and we could hear the bells from the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. We also took several day trips to nearby areas, and the Drury was an ideal home base for everything we wanted to explore. We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days. The rooftop pool and Jacuzzi were another highlight. We enjoyed beautiful Santa Fe sunsets from the rooftop and returned later to soak in the Jacuzzi and gaze at the stars. Those quiet moments became some of our favorite memories from the trip. A pro tip for future guests: on the second floor, at the end of the hallway, there is a lovely "secret garden" lawn area with tables and chairs. Relatively few guests seem to know about it, but you can take your Happy Hour food and drinks outside and enjoy a peaceful setting away from the activity of the main hotel spaces. It was an unexpectedly blissful little retreat. As the former CEO of a destination event-planning business, I also paid attention to the hotel's conference rooms and event facilities. Any company or organization hosting a corporate meeting, retreat, or special event would likely find this property especially appealing. The combination of location, guest amenities, gathering spaces, and walkability makes it a strong option for groups wanting both convenience and an authentic Santa Fe experience. The hotel itself is lovely, welcoming, and exceptionally well positioned, but here is what other reviews may not fully capture: the staff is everything. They are the true difference-makers. We were told that employees are hired, in part, because they genuinely enjoy people, and that quality is evident in every interaction. The front desk staff looked up, made eye contact, and greeted us whenever we passed rather than remaining focused solely on their computer screens. The valet team warmly welcomed us each time we returned. Angela was especially warm and welcoming during Happy Hour. Jo made us feel genuinely special, while Josephine stood out for her calm, gracious leadership and her ability to remember and acknowledge us whenever we returned to the hotel. Marco and Angel were also superstars at the rooftop bar. The hotel proactively asks whether guests are celebrating anything, and the team actually pays attention to the response. We did not request anything special, yet we received a complimentary suite upgrade for our anniversary, along with a bottle of wine and a card signed by members of the staff. Those thoughtful touches meant a great deal to us. We also experienced a power outage during our stay, and that unexpected moment revealed just how well prepared the team was. Staff members were positioned at critical points throughout the building, calmly guiding guests, opening doors, and providing assistance. Service culture and training often reveal themselves most clearly when something does not go according to plan, and this team rose beautifully to the occasion. The Drury Plaza Hotel gave us the location, amenities, value, and atmosphere we were seeking, but the people are what made our anniversary stay truly memorable. After more than three decades of visiting Santa Fe, we are grateful to have found a hotel that now feels like part of our connection to the city. We will absolutely return.

I should preface this review by saying that we would never book this type of hotel for ourselves…read more That said, this was booked for us by a family member we were traveling with, so we tried to have an open mind. The valets offered a warm welcome that set the tone for our entire stay and the front desk check in was friendly and efficient. In fact, every single staff member we came into contact with was an absolute delight. From the manager who we encountered each afternoon and always took the time to engage with us, to the awesome lady with the funky makeup who served the complimentary afternoon drinks. Everyone we came into contact with was lovely, even the lady bussing tables was a delight. Our room on the 2nd floor was ok, it was very long and narrow and despite having plenty of sq ft, the layout made it feel small. The bathroom was decent and the linens, towels and amenities were a good quality. Each day at 5.30pm the hotel offers complimentary drinks and snacks. We checked it out once; the cocktails, although served with a big smile, were cheap and sugary (as expected). The food (pasta and baked potatoes with fixings, hot dogs and popcorn), wasn't to our taste but many of the guests with children appeared to be making a full dinner out of them, so that is definitely a great feature for families on a budget. The location is really good, no more than a 7 min stroll from everything in the historic center of Santa Fe. I would recommend this hotel for family road trips and business travelers on a tight budget. The staff make this hotel a place you should consider if you're ever coming to Santa Fe.

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.

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.

When the answer to multiple vehicle break-ins is as we were told by the GM - there's nothing we can do and that cameras don't deter theft or help identify thieves - it's time for us to stay somewhere else. We understand that crime can happen anywhere, but guests paying for parking should reasonably expect the property to take security seriously and make an effort to protect them. What makes this especially difficult is that we've always loved this property. The hotel has a historic charm, a great location that makes it easy to explore Santa Fe on foot, and while the rooms aren't luxury accommodations, they always felt comfortable and familiar - like a home away from home. Through the years, the staff has consistently been friendly and welcoming. That's what makes this review so disappointing to write. What was once a 5-star experience for our family has dropped to about a 3-star experience because we no longer feel confident that our vehicle and belongings are safe while staying here.
