This place is awesome! Clean and beautifully decorated rooms. Staff is extremely accomodating and nice. Prices are a little more then average, but is well worth it. Is located within walking distance of many of the sites. They do allow pets also.

The Scene
Pueblo-style architecture and decor pay tribute to the hotel's long history. Inside, walls are covered with Native American art and photographs from past and present. Sturdy, exposed beams and wood furniture mix with hand-carved corbels, intricate chandeliers and antiques for a rustic, yet refined atmosphere.

The Details
The Plaza is just outside, but with so much going on inside, guests may be hard-pressed to leave. La Plazuela, a beautiful, enclosed-courtyard restaurant, is the heart of the hotel. The lobby outside is a din of activity, connecting shops and galleries to the lively La Fiesta Lounge where bands play nightly. Open in the warm months, the Bell Tower Bar offers stunning sunset views from the fifth floor patio. Average rooms feature hand-painted furniture and Southwestern decor. For more posh accommodations, splurge on a luxury room on the picturesque La Terraza rooftop terrace.
