Scene
Sprawling, lodge-like space with two fireplaces
The hotel, like most nearby, is set in an adobe building in a quiet area. It’s filled with local flavor, including Native American artwork and prints. Big fireplaces set into stone walls dominate both the lobby and the breakfast room, where a buffalo head is mounted. There are high wood ceilings and dark metal chandeliers throughout. The warm space is filled with plush leather sofas, offering a lot of areas for guests to relax.
Location
In a remote area outside of Santa Fe, next to a busy casino and a golf course
The hotel is in a somewhat rural setting, surrounded by hills and mesas. The Buffalo Thunder Casino next door provides most of the area's action and dining options. The Towa Golf Course is on the same grounds as the casino and the hotel. Santa Fe is a 20-minute drive away, while the Nambe Pueblo can be reached in about 10 minutes. Taos takes about 70 minutes by car. The Santa Fe Airport is 25 minutes from the hotel and the Albuquerque International Sunport is an hour-and-20-minute drive away.
