at La Posade de Santa Fe. The location is great - a few blocks off of the square in a quieter area. The staff was excellent - friendly and helpful. This is not an "inexpensive" place to stay but if you want a lovely retreat - this is the...

I used the spa services at La Posada and was double-charged for hundreds of dollars. I contacted the spa immediately but was told that the "manager was out of town" and I'd have to wait. When the manager finally "got back to town" it took another call from me to get any answers! Now, two weeks after getting grossly overcharged, I still have not been credited money to my account.

For starters, the property shows very well. But the price is very high, even for downtown Santa Fe, we found hotels even closer to the Plaza for $100/night less after we got here.
We didn't know much about Santa Fe and booked La Posada through Expedia. When we arrived, the check-in guy told us he was giving us a 'nice quiet room in the back.' It backed to a city street and was right next to the hotel's 'Receiving'. The trucks started rumbling up to the door at about 4am. It was the equivalent to being seated next to the kitchen in a restaurant. I suppose someone has to have that room, but being told it was 'quiet' was an insult to my intelligence.
We booked two nights and when we checked in, the front desk took an impression of our credit card. That's usual, no problem. The next day the reservation clerk, a separate office from the front desk, called our room to say they didn't get our Expedia confirmation and we either had to leave or authorize her to charge the room to our Visa. I went to the business office, printed out the Expedia confirmation that we had gotten in our e-mail, showed it to the front desk, and they wouldn't even touch it. I had to call Expedia and they had to call La Posada to keep us from being charged double.
In addition to the stated room price, there is a 'spa fee' which is for?? All the spa treatments were priced separately, so what the spa fee covered, I have no idea. Parking was $15/night. Tax, of course, was on top of all that.
I was told there was wireless internet in the room. It didn't work in my room in the back. An employee came and tried to fix it but it just wouldn't work. I run my entire business out of my laptop, and internet in hotel rooms is pretty much a given these days. I was told that I could use the internet in the lobby or the business office, and I did, but it's not the same as being in my room, watching CNN, raiding the mini-bar, and checking my e-mails. They also told me I could call an 800 number for tech support to figure out why their service didn't work in my room. Since my computer worked fine on their system in the lobby, the business office, the patio, and out by the fireplace, everywhere but my room, I figured it was up to them to call tech support to fix their equipment. I chose not to spend my vacation time surfing a phone menu to chat with whoever their internet service provider happened to be.
Additionally, and this may sound picky, but I stay in pretty nice hotels and I've never encountered this before; we ordered room-service desserts, $10 each for small servings of cake and raspberries. The bill included not only tax, which is expected, no problem there, but also a delivery charge of $4 and a service charge of $6.75. On top of that the delivery guy wanted a tip.
Then, I wanted some items out of my car. They refused to tell me where it was. I had to ask for it to be brought up and tip the valet to get a few items out of it. It turned out it was parked in a sub-basement that I didn't even know existed.
I've stayed in the Bellagio in Vegas, the Wynn, as well as other hotels in Vegas; the Oxford in Denver, the Jerome in Aspen, this is just to name a few hotels similarly-priced to La Posada de Santa Fe, and I never felt like I was being bled for every penny they could squeeze out of me.
My opinion of the place, it’s a decent property with little professionalism and a greedy bleed-the-customer business model.

There were very nice amenities in the room and the casual but elegant atmosphere of the grounds was very welcoming. The desk agent that checked me in was very warm and efficient.
Lovely room with fireplace and gardens.

Lovely room with fireplace and gardens. Didn't want to go back home after sitting in my private garden with honeysuckle flowers draping from walls. The always smiling service from X, in the restaurant was delightful. Nightime notes and chocolates...

Great ambiance in 'village like' setting within walls just 2 blocks from Plaza. friendly. Pool is very small. No 2 rooms are alike. Have stayed 4 times; quality/age of rooms vary considerably! Authentic adobe walls, SW furnishings, warm ambiance....
