Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza

We always try to stay here when in Santa Fe. The parking is easy with our big truck as there is a gated lot & no garage. The front desk was so kind this visit to find us a room for early check in because the weather was stranding us here. Beautiful hotel.

Wonderful hotel. Registration person Alex made us very welcome when we arrived early. Very pleased and would stay here again anytime.

I had another nice stay at this hotel on my way back from skiing in Taos in early March. I also had a nice stay before Christmas. In both cases, the rooms were quite nice. The bed was confortable, I had no mechanical problems, the WiFi worked well, and I had enough hot water. The room had a refrigerator that was useful. My room was quiet. It is quieter if you stay on the 3rd floor on the north side. Views are better in that direction too. You can park near the entrance closest to your room. You really don't want to take your luggage into the hotel when you check in. Figure out where you are first or you could end up dragging your luggage a really long way. The front desk was helpful, though I didn't demand much from them. Parking was not a problem. They do let you stay between the time you checkout and when you have to head for the airport. The cookies and drinks they have in the lobby in the afternoon are really good. Since I'm diabetic that's probably not the best thing for me. Breakfast is good at the hotel. The buffet is probably the best option. I've always had good omelets, fruit, and coffee. I miss the smoked salmon, but it had probably been a decade since they had it. If you don't want breakfast the lobby has good coffee and tea. I had a hamburger one night, mostly because I didn't want to wander to another restaurant. It was good but similar to other green chile burgers in the area. The plaza is 5 - 10 minutes walking distance, and the segment between the hotel and plaza can be a little dark at night. One thing that was odd was that the concierge lounge was not in operation. The doors were open, and you could go in there and work or watch TV, but all they had was bottled water in the refrigerator. If you are looking for these kinds of services during your stay, ask before booking this type of room. Prices are pretty similar to other hotels near the plaza. March prices were surprisingly low. I paid less to stay here than to stay in Taos during the week, and I was staying at a Hampton Inn in Taos. Finally, the AI review is unjustifiably harsh. Having seen one for the first time my advice is don't use it to make decisions until they improve the algorithm.

When i got to the hotel, the kady at the front desk wasnt very helpful...they gave me the wrong room and then stated that the booking agency changed my room in which i said made no sense. I booked a delux room and was give a double bed room. They didnt even offer to make a change and try to accomodate me...so i ended up leaving

Ok stay as a stop when driving through NM. Great to get an upgrade to a room with a pool view. Pulled back the curtains to get a view of a wall. Could see the pool if you stand in the far corner by the window. Seemed more like a downgrade. Checked in online and used the digital key, which worked ok. Found a sewing needle on the bathroom floor, luckily before anyone in our family stepped on it! Room and reservation was for 4, but only had towels for 2. More were brought after requesting them, but poor planning by the hotel. Many room surfaces were quite dusty. Between that and the needle, I question the thoroughness of cleaning between guests. The room was quiet and otherwise ok. It is a convenient location for visiting the historic area.
