“Historic, unique inn/ obliging, generous hosts/ great price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

We stayed for 4 nights just recently for a quick getaway and to play in the snow and eat delicious New Mexican food. The host and hostess were probably the most attentive and gracious hosts of any hotel we have stayed at in Santa Fe (or anywhere). She brought us to our room once we checked in, offered us tea, and even brought us a cable to the internet (the authentic adobe walls are too thick for wireless). She asked us if everything was comfortable and ok before she left us to our room. They were the kind of hosts that are low-key and let you have privacy, but are always there if you have any problems, want to chat, or need a recommendation.
Every night there was wood and a fast lighting log waiting for us in the fireplace. Just strike a match and you have a crackling fire. The room (Santa Clara) was really cute with wood floors and bookshelves and wooden beamed ceilings. So, the room felt natural, reflecting the local culture, and "non-corporate". (The host said that this was a compound for a judge about a hundred or more years ago and then converted into little apartments in the 1930s. ) There is alot of storage space for suitcases and coats and shoes.
The location is great. A short walk to the square to shop and go to restaurants. We even took a very short walk (10 mins) to the Farmer's Market at the railyard which was great b/c parking can be hard to find if you are driving.

What makes this hotel unique could be a plus or minus depending on what you are looking for. The bathrooms and halls are somewhat tiny and the floors have a little creak to them because it is an old building. In the middle of winter it is a tad drafty (for a Texan like myself)... but once you get the fire going it is nice and toasty. There is also a space heater available, that we didnt end up using, to add an extra bit of warmth if you are used to warmer climates.

However, many of these things (creaky floors, small bathrooms, etc) is what makes it really special and unique. We stayed in a vacation rental home in Santa Fe before and it had the same feel as this hotel..... a historic authentic adobe where you can imagine what it felt like to live in Santa Fe several decades ago (well, except for the cable tv. haha). You cannot get that feeling in just a regular hotel. Sitting in the little casita with the fire roaring and the snow falling outside the thick adobe walls was so cozy and romantic.
I also appreciate that everything is included in the price of the room: parking, fire, breakfast, afternoon tea.

Breakfast has been covered in the other reviews..... a basic light breakfast with plenty of selection.

It is apparent these hosts put a lot of time and love into this little inn and will do whatever it takes to accommodate your stay. Stay here! In this price range, it is hard to beat!

Room Tip: In the winter, ask for a room with the head of the bed next to the wall rather than the window.

Jen,
Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful, thorough review. It was a joy to host you during your getaway earlier this month, and to welcome you to the mountains of New Mexico, quite a bit colder than central Texas! Winter is a lovely time here, but Herb and I realize that some guests need extra warmth and care. That's why we're very eager to make sure everyone is warm and snug upon arrival, and also provide comforts such as hot tea, space heaters, and fully-equipped fireplaces. In that vein, we appreciate your compliments to our hospitality; Herb and I are in the business because we love going the extra mile for our guests, and it's so satisfying to hear back about our guests' visits! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the romantic, rustic nature of our historic inn; it's certainly "non-corporate" and we're proud of it! The charming Santa Clara room exudes an authentic New Mexican vibe that enhances the coziness of the decor and small, adobe casitas. (Seeing the snow fall outside certainly helps, too!) The large closet in each suite is a great perk because, unlike staying at many hotels, you can store your travel luggage and extra items away, out of view, and enjoy an open, uncluttered space during your stay. Last but not least, we appreciate you mentioning our convenient downtown location, which allows you to leave your car in our free parking. That's another rare perk! Thank you for recommending our inn for Herb and my hospitality, the rustic comfort and great value. The next time you want to escape to Santa Fe, we'd love to have you back!
All the best,
Amy Behm

“I'll be honest...An "OK" stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We only stayed one night at this B & B for a romantic/skiing getaway. The professionalism of the owner/hosts was above & beyond anywhere that my wife and I have ever stayed. Upon arriving one of the hosts even took us and showed us our room. We loved the location and definitely the wood-burning fireplaces! We also really enjoyed the breakfast selection in the morning- I read many reviews by other guests and still am scratching my head what in the world they are complaining about....

To be as honest as possible...I was expecting a lot more as far as the room accomodations. From the reviews & website pictures it looked awesome, but after arriving it felt more like an older motel room. It was cozy and quaint, but definitely needs some updating that could make it shine. The bathroom was the smallest I've ever seen. The door would not close shut on the bathroom or the front door of the room without using a deadbolt. The bed was OK but definitely needed replacing (we were rolling into each other during the night). I understand this is a historic building, but I just wish there would be some small remodels to make the place more inviting and warm. It is usually the small things that sometimes leave the most lasting impressions....

The wood burning fireplace, location, professionalism of the owners, and the breakfast make up for what is lacking in the accommodations. I just expected a little more from the room and hope you can start making the necessary improvements to make this place truly shine! Thank you for a great stay.

We're glad you stayed with us and to hear you enjoyed many specific aspects of your Santa Fe ski get-away with us. We honestly appreciate your feedback. Herb, I and our staff strive diligently to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere as well as a memorable experience for all our Santa Fe visitors. We sincerely appreciate your recognition of our outstanding hospitality. Our kiva fireplaces in each room definately set a romantic atmosphere and we're glad you were able to enjoy yours as well as our breakfast offerings and location! The bathroom door closure difficulty has been taken care of- thank you for bringing it to our attention. Changing the size of our baths would be much, much more complicated. Tearing down complete adobe walls (mud bricks make up the exterior and interior walls) to replace internal walls with 2x4's and drywall simply to increase bath size in our opinion would completely change the character of this authentic 150 yr old structure. We have supplimented bath size by creating "vanity area" outside of the bathroom. This includes a large wall mirror, spacious sink and storage area for hygeine items (curling irons, make up, etc). What Pueblo Bonito offers it's guests is a true experience in traditional, authentic, historic Northern New Mexico living- this is where we "shine". We are unique. We are not plush, but we are very comfortable, charming and extremely welcoming. We reflect local historic culture and for those Santa Fe visitors who desire this type experience- we are one of a kind! We thank you for your patronage and are glad you enjoyed your visit. We would love to welcome you both back to Pueblo Bonito in the future!
Warm regards,
Amy Behm, Owner

“Three Wonderful Days”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

We stayed at Pueblo Bonito from Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012 until Friday, Jan. 27. Our room was comfortable and attractive, and we lit a romantic fire in our kiva fireplace each night. Parking is free, and the B&B is conveniently located (short walk) to the Capitol, the Railway Yard, the Plaza, Canyon Road art galleries, and lots of delicious restaurants. The free breakfast was abundant and tasty, with piping hot coffee and a terrific assortment of teas, and included lots of fresh fruit, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, pastries and breads/muffins/bagels. There was a lovely, complimentary tea each afternoon too, with cookies, chips and salsa, and cut up fruit, which afforded us a nice break from the day of sightseeing. Amy (the owner) had great recommendations for lunch and dinner, and helped us plan out our itinerary each day. We highly recommend Pueblo Bonito!

Room Tip: "Taos" room #5 is quiet, tucked back from the street, and just steps away from the common...

It was a joy to have you stay with us last week. Thank you for the excellent review. We're pleased you liked the rustic charm of the Taos room, complete with a romantic kiva fireplace. We don't only want to make sure you're comfortable at our inn, but also that you're having a great visit overall, so we're glad to know you had fun exploring Santa Fe and that our local tips helped you around the city. We're fortunate to be so close to downtown that, in the afternoon, you can stop back by the inn for a rejuvenating cup of tea and fresh snacks before continuing on with your day! We appreciate your attention to the plentiful breakfast spread, as well. Thank you for recommending our historic, cozy inn and friendly hospitality to fellow travelers. The next time you are in Santa Fe, we would love to welcome you back!

“Best place I ever stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

I stayed 3 nights in this wonderful B&B. Cozy, very nice rooms, great service, breakfast buffet unbelievable und afternoon teas so nice. I could go on and on but can only recommend to everybody. Unbelievable at this price to get such a service. Location, location, you are basically able to walk to every place you want to see. Herb and Amy make you feel so welcome and are helpful with everything you need and want to know. Hope I can go back in the near future.

Room Tip: Amy picked the room for me and I couldn't have been happier.

Barbara,
We were happy to host you for your visit up north to Santa Fe, and even happier now to know we helped make your stay comfortable and fun. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. Your compliments to Herb and me are very kind. We enjoy getting to know each guest— whether upon check-in, during breakfast or over the afternoon tea— and suggesting things around town they personally would find interesting. I'm pleased you liked the room I picked for you! Beyond hospitality, we really appreciate you recommending our prime location and great value. We’re proud to offer cozy accommodations in a historic, authentic adobe estate, just steps from the Santa Fe plaza— all at an affordable price. We’re glad to hear you hope to return soon! We look forward to welcoming you back.
