After a week in the Grand Canyon and making the all day drive to Santa Fe we found the perfect location to refuel, do laundry and replenish our kitchen at the Homewood Suites Santa Fe. We choose this exact location due to the proximity to Bandolier National Monument which is where our adventure would continue the following day. It was located a meer 30 miles to the entrance of the National Monument right next door to the Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder. The Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder Resort included an onsite Spa and Resort, Casino, four restaurants and a Golf Course all located right next door giving you the option to make a short walk to enjoy the facilities offered.
At the time of arrival the hotel was hosting their nightly evening social. A majority of roadside hotels now serve hot breakfast, but an evening social with alcoholic beverages was a great surprise at our time of arrival. This made for a wonderful evening off from cooking a meal.
When we arrived to our room we found a small bag located on our kitchen table welcoming us to the hotel. Inside contained two protein bars each attached to a bottle of water with an enclosed welcome letter inviting you to make yourself at home.
We booked a two queen bed one bedroom casita suite non smoking for our night. The room was extremely spacious and comfortable.
The fully equipped kitchen included a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and twin burner stove. The perfect size to spend the evening replenishing our lunch supplies before the next leg of our trip.
While we were at the hotel we took full advantage of the laundry facilities which was kept extremely clean. The following morning restocked and refreshed we headed downstairs to enjoy a hot breakfast before beginning our next adventure. During all of our travels we found the Homewood Suites to be one of the only hotels that went above and beyond what was expected.
