Inn and Spa at Loretto

Inn and Spa at Loretto

8/10 Good
"We had a unique experience at the Loretto. We arrived at a time when Santa Fe was receiving an unusual amount of rain. Our first room had water on carpet and commercial fans in room. After much discussion with desk we were placed in another room and told we would have to leave that room and then be placed in final room on the next day. The desk attendant was very helpful and continued to help up. Unusual situation but they did an ok job to rectify it. Hotel itself is quaint although could use some updating. No drawers for unpacking and closets in bathroom. Very unfriendly bathroom. No countertop. Large double pedestal sink but no countertop. Room clean, no chance to use pool or other amenities. Not sure was worth cost."

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and pretty nice. It only had a shower, but was adequate. The space to hang clothes was a bit cramped, but ok. The most trying thing was that the room key took several tries to work each time. A bit frustrating. The breakfast had good eggs and sausage. I would stay here again."

8/10 Good
"Historic building in a great location close to town. Amazing staff who went out of their way to accommodate us. Restaurant food was excellent. Weekly complimentary happy hours were unexpected. Unfortunately the pool and hot tub were not available for several days due to a water malfunction. There are several types of rooms. Make sure you know what you are booking. We were not satisfied with the first room we had but the staff found us a much better room and graciously moved us as soon as they could."
