Hotwire Hotel: 4* Santa Fe (Plaza) Inn and Spa at Loretto

[fourstarbidder]

Catching up on some old Hotwire emails. Booked a 4* hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, from 4/26-28 in the Santa Fe Plaza Area, and got the Inn & Spa at Loretto for $126/night. Total for two nights including taxes/fees was $290.94.

Amenities listed were:

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Laundry Facilities

Spa Services

I don't know why "Laundry Facilities" is listed as an amenity. Very few, if any, hotels of the Loretto's caliber will have a guest laundry facility, and the Loretto did not have on either (as I suspected). They do offer a laundry service (I think done off-site), but who knows how much that would cost, so I found a laundromat not too far away and did my laundry myself.

I should also note that the Loretto charges a $12/day resort fee. They listed specifically what the fee covered, and I felt they were worthwhile amenities: 24-hour business center with three Internet terminals/computers, and a printer; free New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, in the lobby each day, while supplies last; and other amenities that I forget.

Parking at the hotel is by valet only, for $18/day. There was overnight parking on streets nearby, so I did not use the hotel valet service, preferring to save money. But if you don't want to move the car or feed a meter at 8am, you might choose to use the valet. There are also some municipal parking lots not too far from the Loretto, but I do not think they allow overnight parking.

Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Loretto.

Thanks for sharing your previous win with the board and helping us add this property to the Hotwire Hotel List.

This isn't the first property to get the <self-service> Laundry wrong. If there is an amenity shown by HOTWIRE that the hotel doesn't not offer you should let HOTWIRE know so they can update the listing and they usually give you some hot Dollars to use on a future purchase for the incorrect info.
