This is a lovely hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only negative is lack of amenities. I understand the bar is opening soon and a restaurant is to come. That will be an improvement but there needs to be at the very least a snack counter. Soda, chips, etc

My favorite place to stay when I'm in town. I travel by train, and it's literally right next to the station (but don't worry- train noise is minimal). It's a wonderful mix of vintage decor and a modern AC/heating system. And the staff is very helpful and friendly!

We arrived late first off. When we got off the freeway and turned into, well let’s say a not so nice area, then into the dim parking lot that my gps brought me to. I was greeted by signs saying not liable for break in or damaged vehicles park at your own risk. Ok not what I expected of the best reviewed hotel in town. The building was very old. Inside is all antiques and old everything. It smelled old also. We got our suite, it was clean. The room had a bad smell like old stale shoe polish. The living room part was a chair, a small old couch, 2 end tables and a huger dresser thing. No tv. The bedroom had a tv. Bed was ok but I think it was old also. It was rutted out or hammocked from being overslept in. The linens weren’t great and were rough on the skin. I’m 6’3” and I hit my head on the overhead bed rail like 4 times going to and from the bathroom. The bathrooms were clean and nice. No issues there. The staff. The night guys did their best and were as helpful as they could be. We were grabbing items and minding the puppies so they opened the door right away for us. Thank you. The next morning mind you was not great at all. The lady behind the counter couldn’t even say good morning. I asked if there was a breakfast or snacks and she said, no just coffee. Had one cup and out the door we went. Omg I think the coffee was antique as well. It got poured out into the gravel parking lot immediately. Not good for dogs either. Too expensive.

This historic Fred Harvey property was clean and attractive. It was renovated and reopened in 2019. Staff was welcoming, friendly, and anticipated and fulfilled our every need. We’ve stayed here several times in the past and will stay here again, highly recommend.

The Castañeda Hotel is a very historic Harvey House built over 100 years ago. After being abandoned for years, it was meticulously renovated a few years ago. My wife and I were excited to spend a night to experience the ambiance. Yvonne at the front desk was friendly and took plenty of time to visit and make recommendations for dining etc. All the rooms are unique and differently decorated. The first room we had was not heating up so we were offered another room which was nice and warm. We were able to experience the decor and feel of two completely different rooms, which was very nice. Our mini vacation was only 24 hours but well worth the short drive from Santa Fe. We would like to return in the future.
Beautiful hand-painted table in our room.
