What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express & Suites, travellers consistently note clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a hot breakfast with good variety, while a minority report inconsistent service and occasional maintenance problems that affected parts of their stay.

Location is convenient to Santa Fe attractions and Meow Wolf, but several guests found the property hard to locate or noted a somewhat sketchy surrounding area and dim or limited exterior signage. Facilities include an indoor pool, hot tub, and small gym, though guests mentioned closures, cold water, cleanliness concerns, and a broken treadmill at times. Housekeeping and room upkeep are generally solid, yet isolated complaints cite odors, drainage problems, worn furnishings, and noise from thin walls. Expect a clean, comfortable stay with a popular breakfast, but check facility status and directions before arrival.

The room was nice and had a closet and fold out couch, microwave and fridge. There was plenty of room for our family of 5. The bummer was that the a/c was broken so we had to get an employee to open the small window which helped the temperature enough so we could sleep The indoor pool was a little too cold but the hot tub was soooooo hot I could barely get in it. The paint on the floor around the pools was coming off so we had paint chips stuck to ourselves. The staff was very friendly I just wish the pool area had been a bit nicer. I thought the price was a bit high but it's Santa Fe

The elevator was out of order, due to new parts being installed. My room was on the 3rd floor, so I had to hike up and down the stairs. I did ask for a 1st floor room, but the front desk said they were all taken and the 2nd floor as well. I tripped and fell on the landing between the 2nd and 3rd floors and had to ice my knee that I fell on several times before I checked out. The room was great and very clean. The egg and cheese omelets in the breakfast room were terrible, but the pancake machine was great.

We needed an extra chair and the gentleman at the front desk (tall, with an argyle sweater vest) was very helpful. The room was a little musty though very clean. All the staff were great. There was a door without a lock coming into the swimming pool from the outside, creating a security risk. Also, the elevator was not working and there was no warning.

We had just come from another Holiday Inn Express property the night before that was very nice. This property showed more age and the furniture placement was a bit awkward. The couch had a lot of stains on it. Aside from that, it was a comfortable and fairly nice place to stay. I would stay there again.

The room was very roomy and modern. However, the beds were somewhat comfortable. The pillows were softer than the bed oddly enough. The main issue was the tub. Once my son took a shower, the drain backed up and nasty looking water with debris came up from the drain. After he got out of the shower hurriedly, the water level rose to over halfway. It was very disgusting and tainted our view of the hotel. I doubt we’ll return after that occurred.

This was a nice place to spend a week. The breakfast was good everyday the bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. The only thing missing was a table and chairs to make it comfortable to sit and visit around. It was a little hard to find since the sign advertising its location is set back from the main road. We would return here if we come to Santa Fe again.

The staff at the Holiday Inn were very helpful and very friendly! Definitely plan on staying here again. I had to spend an extra day in the area and I re-booked on a third party app, the manager made it so I could just stay in the room I was already in, she was on it and I really appreciated all the effort the entire staff did for me. Great group of people. Room was clean, bathroom was clean and both towels and sheets were clean, always a big plus. Breakfast was good, love the cinnamon rolls!! I highly recommend this Holiday Inn if you are hang around Santa Fe!!

The lady that checked me in was very rude. I walked in and she was having a conversation with someone else, looked at me and said “Is there something you need?” Bathtub didn’t drain when we used the bathtub since maintenance was gone not much we could do. Night time we took our children to get a snack for the snack bar and the gentle men told us “it would be cheaper if you just went to Walgreens or cvs” we didn’t appreciate that at all

I travel quite a bit by car between Denver and Scottsdale, so I often choose Santa Fe to layover. I booked this hotel last minute & when I pulled into the parking lot, I realized I had stayed here before. HIE is usually a safe bet so didn’t think much of it. The hotel was fine, desk & check in fine, breakfast…meh. After I ate, I went back to my room for a quick shower & checkout. I put the “Resting” or “Do not disturb” sign on the door & showered & sat on the bed nude to dress. All of a sudden, without a knock or announcement, the maid came charging in after using her passkey and wash shocked to see me! I yelled, “READ THE F’ING SIGN!!” I then realized that the same type of thing happened LAST time I stayed here. And yep, I checked, there was my review that I posted on Feb. 2nd (?) 6 months ago with the title, “They need to TRAIN THEIR HOUSEKEEPING STAFF BETTER. Unbelievable. Yes, I should have used the top lock, that was my mistake but I was in a hurry & never dreamed that someone would just charge-in without a knock or announcement. I made the desk clerk read my prior review. You can be assured that I will find someone in charge, regionally, to show this terribly managed hotel.

The front desk receptionist that was working 12/11 @ 11pm was not friendly AT ALL. Wouldnt even speak loud enough to be heard, and had to ask him tonrepeat himself several times. He very clearly hates his job, which is terrible because this was a really bad first impression of this hotel chain. Breakfast was good. The little omelets were good with the green chilis. The pancakes were good, a little chewy but good flavor. The potatoes seemed undercooked as they were slightly hard, good if you dipped them in a little syrup. Cinnamon rolls were delicious, kinda fall apart and super sweet but good flavor.

This was the hardest to find hotel I've ever stayed. It would be so helpful to say, "Directly behind Denver Mattress on the right hand side of Cerillo Ave. if you are coming from I-25". By the time we found this hidden hotel, we were saying bad words, but once we checked in it was nice.

My wife and I stayed at HIE in Sante Fe for a few nights. The hotel and our room was clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly; the bathroom was a little worn though quite fine. The location is decent, although there are a number of homeless people walking on the main roadway which is a bit uncomfortable if you walk in the early mornings. This was our first time in Sante Fe and it was awesome. I do recommend this hotel.

For the money, this place was terribly disappointing. We stayed 3 nights. Day 2, they were out of breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits), before 8:30 am. We had to beg for a roll of toilet paper, since our restroom had very little when we got there. The pool was nasty as seen in photo. I’m guessing a health risk.
