A nice hotel, large, with lots of entertainment. Good size, clean rooms, good quality beds, nice size bathrooms, but lacking bath robes. Real friendly and helpfull staff. However, the food at the buffet restaurant in our opinion is not too healthy. Too much salt, too greasy. And for the quality we found it too expensive. We had no minibar/cooler in... More

Very nice property for the money. Nicely appointed rooms, clean and quiet. Great views as well. A great place to stay in Santa Fe and a great alternative to the pricey hotels on the plaza. Well worth the 12 mile drive and it is easy to get to and from the Plaza area.

My family was driving from AZ to CO for a wedding and decided to stay over in Santa Fe. We picked this hotel because it looked beautiful and the price was excellent! Upon entering, we noticed that there was a casino attached to the hotel. The hotel said it was smoke free, but when entering the lobby you are hit... More

I stayed here for the a work-related conference - wait, make that supposed to be staying here - because I arrived at 12:30p and now it's almost 4p and my room still isn't ready. So I grabbed a $20 salad from one of the restaurants that would leave a rabbit or squirrel longing for more. It was the smallest "entree"... More

After a conference in Albuquerque, I decided to stay the weekend and have a "me-day" at the Buffalo Thunder Hilton. Leaving Albuquerque Saturday morning, I headed to Santa Fe and walked around the plaza. What a wonderful place! I then drove to the outskirts of town where I found the Hilton. It made a beautiful first impression. I was able... More

Dear Fanore, I love reading reviews regarding 8 golfers that had such a wonderful time at Hilton Buffalo Thunder and our magnificent Towa Golf Club. It sounds like Bernadette and Gary (two of our hospitality superstars) did a great job setting the stage for an outstanding stay, followed up by Laurie and Steve at the golf course.....sorry about that sleeve...

If you appreciate Native American artwork, beautiful rooms, and sunshine - this place is the right fit. Just south of the resort is the Santa Fe square with artwork & shops as well as Canyon Road - then north is Taos - great location!

I fell in love with the exterior before I ever turned off the freeway! The architecture is gorgeous from a distance and prettier even closer. Original artwork adorns much of the space starting with the excellent Buffalo Dancer sculpture in front of the hotel. Beautiful inside again with lots of original artwork. My room was spacious, very clean, beautiful furnishings... More

This property was very nice. We stayed in a suite which was absolutely huge with a nice view. The place was very clean and the staff was very accomodating. The slots were loose. We left with big wins. This was my first trip to New Mexico and I was stunned by its beauty.
