Absolutely the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at. Affordable and filled with family friendly amenities and surprises. The staff escorted us throughout the hotel and gave us the grand tour our kid was excited and played our entire stay at the Lazer tag and golf and pool. The hotel is like staying in a museum and has all kinds of family friendly and adult entertainment, food and fun. Just 15 minutes from downtown Santa. Fe and 15 minutes from Las Alamos. Thank you for such a wonderful stay and experience!!!
