Historic Property & Architecture

Rooms & Accommodations
The motel has 11 non-smoking rooms, including Queen Rooms, King Rooms with one king bed, and Family Rooms with two queen beds. Some king rooms are approximately 300 square feet and contain a four-poster bed. Each room includes a TV, private bathroom, air conditioning, heating, a mini fridge, and a microwave.

“I found the attention to detail, from the log ceiling beams to the impeccably clean rooms, to be quite appealing, a true preservation of character. The comfortable beds and quiet atmosphere, even near a busy road, make it a welcoming spot, especially with the on-site owners who genuinely care for the property and its guests. It's a place that feels thoughtfully maintained, offering a grounded experience a short drive from the heart of Santa Fe.”
