#155: Inn of the Anasazi (Page 668; Listed as Markets and Festivals of Sante Fe in 2nd Ed, pg 833)

October 2, 2014

Supposedly "Santa Fe's most sophisticated hotel."

The manager on duty was excited to show us the "Water Wall."

My friend, ME, relaxing in the library, which is located right next to the Anasazi Restaurant, known for its organically grown native foods.

Walking outside the restaurant, you find yourself in a quaint little courtyard with shops and cafes and locals selling their handmade souvenirs.  They are all lined up on the sidewalk in front of the Palace of the Governors, the oldest public building in  America.

Verdict:  No.  It was nice.  It was quaint.  But no nicer or quainter than dozens of other Inns/Hotels I've stayed at/seen.

Note: In the 2nd Edition, this is mentioned as part of the whole area.  The little downtown area with markets and central plaza and Palace of the Governors.  We saw and did all of that.  And while that is a much more appropriate entry than just this one hotel, it's still not a must-do experience before you die.
