Inn at Santa Fe, SureStay Collection by Best Western

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very up to date and super clean. The staff is super helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good. They did have fresh scrambled eggs and pork patty sausages and pancakes as the hot entree items. They also had the standard cold items, like cereal etc. They has a nice heated outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna. They were in working order and clean. The motel is very close to the exit off I25. Overall the motel was very pleasant and I would recommend it without any reservations. It is a bargain for the price."
