Review of Drury Plaza Hotel in Santa Fe 4*

Our group had a great two-night stay. This is the nicest bang-for-the buck hotel you will find, and I will definitely think Drury everywhere for future consideration. The decor was inviting and the hotel was in very nice shape. Note that they have only valet parking which usually is $16 — this fee was waived however apart of our promo package. The room was very nice as well as the bathroom. One thing I would recommend though is to get different carpet for the rooms; they did seem a little cheap and dirty compared to the rest of the overall hotel. The bathroom was very spacious an we liked the shower, and it already came stocked with soap, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower to press and release. The edges of the shower wall caulking could have been cleaned nicer however as I ran my finger down and got slime. The breakfast buffet is included and is very nice and the food selection very good. They don't have real orange juice (concentrate flavor with water), but most hotels are this way so I expected it. Drury really gives you the extras at no extra cost. They don't have the 'resort fee' shenanigans, and they have the 5:30PM kickback — 7PM, and that is essentially dinner… chicken tenders, pasta, hot dogs, soup, and more. It's a nice buffet and saves you money so you don't have to buy dinner somewhere. 21+ get three free alcoholic drink vouchers to use for each night too. Impressive! This hotel is in a great location — in the heart of Sante Fe and right behind a beautiful cathedral, and a few minutes walk to the City square and also Canyon Road. I never before associated Drury with quality because I just simply didn't know… I didn't expect it… but now I can be a lifelong customer and scope out Drury hotels on future vacations. Also — the rooftop pool & jacuzzi were great — open until 10PM! They have a nice bar and hangout area fenced on the other side of the rooftop pool too — very upscale! The Assistant Manager was also around during breakfast saying hello to all of the guests. The staff here really care and management really knows what they are doing. This is run very well!
