  • Delmar En La Cienega, 50 Entrada La Cienega, +1 505 471-6498, www.delmarsantafe.com. Wonderful, atmospheric B&B with great breakfasts. 10 miles south of town on I-25 but a quick drive into the city.

• Santa Fe Motel & Inn, 510 Cerrillos Road, +1 800 930-5002, www.santafemotel.com. Located near the Railyard District. Complimentary hot breakfast, free wireless.

• Most major hotel chains have franchises in Santa Fe, mainly located outside the main tourist areas. A few on Cerrillos Road removed from downtown, hence better value-for-dollar if you don't mind the distance:
  • Hampton Inn, 3625 Cerrillos Rd., +1 505 474-3900. Notable for accepting (attended) pets.
  • Holiday Inn, 4048 Cerrillos Rd., +1 505 473-4646
  • Quality Inn, 3011 Cerrillos Rd., +1 505 471-1211. They claim to offer free transportation to the train station, which is no small distance away. Check it out.
• There are many others on Cerrillos Road; a non-chain example:

  • Santa Fe Luxury Inn, 3752 Cerrillos Road, +1 505 474-6709, www.santafeluxuryinn.com.

• Several of the classic downtown hotels/lodges approach "Splurge" status, particularly during peak periods, both for their locations and their quality, but a splurge is frequently worth the expense for those who want an authentic Santa Fe experience. A couple of the more reasonably priced ones:
  • Don Gaspar Inn, 623 Don Gaspar Ave., ☎ 888-986-8664, www.dongaspar.com. checkin: 3:00PM; checkout: 11:00PM. A short walk to the Plaza, galleries, spas, unique shops, and wonderful restaurants. The gardens and courtyards surround the three houses that comprise the Inn and cover half the block. The Inn offers 10 spacious suites and rooms. $105 - $355.
  • Inn on the Alameda, 303 East Alameda, +1 505 984-2121, 888-984-2121 www.innonthealameda.com. Nestled between the Santa Fe Plaza and the art galleries of Canyon Road, the Inn offers an ideal location for exploring all the nearby attractions, yet is set at the edge of one of the city's nicest residential areas which results in more quiet and peacful hotel stay. This is downtown Santa Fe's most all-inclusive property, with a lavish continental breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese reception served daily, free parking and wi-fi access, and parking and local and toll-free calls all at no charge. Small pets under 30 pounds are accepted in dedicated pet rooms with a nightly deposit. Seasonal rates range from $125 to $390, with January and Febuary being the most affordable time to splurge on a stay at this cozy inn.
  • Hotel Santa Fe, 1501 Paseo de Peralta, +1 505 982-1200. A little more distant from the Plaza than some of the others, hence a little less expensive (singles from $99 depending on season), and still within comfortable walking distance of most of the good stuff.
  • Hilton of Santa Fe, 100 Sandoval St., +1 505 988-2811. An old standard, one of the few downtown hotels that doesn't raise its rates during the tourist season (singles from $129). No longer an "elegant" hotel, but not bad at all. A great place for conferences too.
  • St. Francis Hotel, 210 Don Gaspar Ave., +1 505 983-5700. Atmospheric, and close to the downtown attractions. Good, if sedate, people-watching at the bar (see under "Drink"). On the National Registry of Historic Places. Singles from $116; rates increase during the summer.
