Apparently, there was a huge altercation or some guess we're in a domestic violence situation and six police had to show up. The staff was super friendly, especially the front desk. The parking lot and the stairs are kind of dirty and rundown.

Archaic door lock systems at this hotel do not work. You are not safe in the room nor are your belongings.. when you return at night from dinner you will have to go to the front desk and be treated like a nuisance as the person takes 15 to 20 attempts to reprogram your non-working plastic card. You may remember this key system from the 90s.. I walked around and look at the locks on every door. They were all damaged and poorly repaired. Most of the window screens had at some point been broken through also and not repaired.. These things are all evidence of dysfunctional door entry systems. Is there anything more important at a hotel than a functional door lock set?

Cheapest place to stay in downtown Santa Fe. But very average comfort. The $200.00 deposit is excessive and they take a week or more to refund your money.

Not sure what I expected from a Motel 6, but I’d say it’s very much a no frills motel. Situated on a busy road, there’s road noise until probably midnight. No sound insulation in windows. Pet friendly which is great but nowhere to take your dog besides the parking lot.

While in a good location, this hotel can best be described as adequate. Bathroom could use a tower bar and soap dish. TV audio was poor. Outside lighting is dismal (pun intended).

The sheet on the bed was stained red in more than one place. Disgusting. I was too tired to leave and slept in my clothes. I asked the manager for a refund. She said it was clean as it was laundered. She knew it and thought it was just ok. I have never in my life anywhere in the world had this experience. Do not go there!

The room was in sad shape. One of the beds had a blood stain on the comforter, the pillowcases were filthy and there was hair on the sheets. There were several large- live spiders in the bathroom that we had to kill. The tub needed to be replaced and the a/c barely worked.

Pros: clean, 15-20 minute walk from plaza, food hall and restaurants across the street, hacienda hotel next door with nice happy hour. Cons: so loud, zero sound installation, adjoining doors in the room where I could hear the tv and everything the person was doing next door. You also hear all the street noise. Outside door faces a parking lot and the street. Bring ear plugs. Room is no frills. Some homeless around but area seemed safe enough as solo female.

I was surprised by a $200 deposit charged to my card for the non-smoking room. It was returned on check out but I was never notified of the charge until I checked in. The room was clean but the furnishings were minimum it would have been nice to have a table that moved (not attached to the wall) and to have a side chair.

It's Motel 6. We just needed a dog friendly place to stay for the night, so it was as expected. The only problem unexpected I encountered was not being able make the room dark due to the bright lights outside of our room. The blackout curtains did not cover completely so the room was like twilight.

It was fine. Stayed on the bottom floor which meant I could hear every footstep of the people above me for a while, but other than that, it was actually really quiet. Small, sparse, utilitarian room, but it got the job done. Shower was fine. Bed was memory foam.

I made a date change yesterday that was not honored due to a horse issue. I called and they refused to help me and I went through your website with a confirmation of the change of date to tonight. The front desk staff was rude. She was too busy doing her make up to work. Went I went in she rudely told me that check in was not until 3 pm ( seriously too into doing her make up that she did not even put her brush down and had highlighter marks on her nose, chin and below eyes). She continue applying her make up without looking at me Horrible experience

When I checked in with a confirmed reservation there were about 8 other folks waiting to be checked in, not unusual for a larger facility but this place is small. The person at the front was having massive difficulties checking people in and people were becoming inpatient, but not rude. The clerk had a meltdown, threw things around, said he quit and drove away. There were no other employees to assist and the front desk was completely abandoned and open to anyone. Some patrons left to find other accommodations, most waited until almost an hour before someone could be tracked down to check people in. It was a disaster! The worst check in experience I have ever had.

I've stayed here several times. It is a basic Motel 6. If you are looking for the cheapest place with the best location in Santa fe, this is it. You get what you pay for. The walls are thin, the beds are firm, but this place is in walking distance of the Railyard and a ton of great restaurants, bars, and history. You stay here for the location, not the comfort. If you're coming to Santa fe to spend most of your visit in the hotel, this place is not for you. If you want to spend the day exploring and have a cheap, safe, place to rest your head at night, this is the best option.
