Connected to a GORGEOUS gallery, even though it has “invisible” service, the team at Palace Modern truly thought of everything. This is just a two minute walk from the Plaza, connected to a coffee shop and a sushi restaurant (and another one I cannot remember). Free parking comes with your unit and the rooms are spacious and SUPER CLEAN. The rooms are equipped with everything you need and the pillows are some of the best I’ve ever rested with. We are so glad we booked at this TRULY boutique hotel. It’s decorated beautifully and is exceptionally clean. I’ll be recommending this hotel again and again for any other visitors asking about where to stay in Santa Fe!"

We got a slightly larger room and had no issues. I also appreciate that the hotel front door is locked. Everything is very walkable. The art exhibit inside is a nice touch. The only downside to staying here is that the parking garage is a block away."

We had trouble sleeping, because the bed only had a heavy down comforter. So we would wake up hot then wake up cold. However, I did not contact the management for a lighter blanket. So I would chalk this one up to me. My real problem came with the bill. I had noticed a charge on my CC several days before we arrived. I contacted the management and I was told that it was a hold for amenities and would roll off. I then was not too concerned about the final bill including an amenities charge, of $35/day. So when I checked my CC bill at the end of the month, I was told it was a charge for amenities, but I got no answer as to what those amenities were. We used the shower gel, made coffee every morning in the room, and got filtered water from the amenities room. I guess the most interesting thing was that the amenities charge was essentially the Winter discount. I am sure it was a communication issue, and not intentional. However, for me personally, I would have preferred a price that did not appear to change. In the original booking process, I do not remember a amenities fee being mentioned. In all hotels we have stayed at over the years, if we did not use the bottled water, or eat the snacks in the room, or use anything from the mini fridge, the amenities fee was refunded. The first charge I had contacted management about did roll off, but not the final charge on the bill. Overall, location was great, room was comfortable, management was very responsive. I will stay again, but will get clarification on amenities charge. Thanks"

Location is fantastic, you are right in old Santa Fe with an easy walk to anything. Parking is taken care of free. The place is bright, modern and pretty. The linens are nice. Now the cons... The bathroom is weird and it feels like you're in a glass fishbowl (because you're in a glass fishbowl) and you have zero privacy. Although the hotel itself is bright, the room is dark with small windows. There is an outside door, but you can't go anywhere or sit or relax. There are no good common spaces to relax outside your room. And there is no pool or other distractions of any kind. If they added an outdoor congregation area, added some indoor seating (maybe upstairs by the balcony), and fixed that glass bathroom problem, this would be a five all day long."
