What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 759 guest reviews
Inn of the Governors earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, driven by its unbeatable walkable location near the Santa Fe Plaza, a standout complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast, and genuinely warm, knowledgeable staff. The afternoon sherry hour and attractive pool area add to its charm, though a minority of guests flag small or poorly cooled rooms, worn mattresses in some units, and a tight parking lot as minor drawbacks worth noting.
